1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION
The purpose of this book is to provide instructions for
unpacking, storage, use, operation and maintenance of
Type VCP-W Drawout and Type VCP-WR Fixed 38kV
Vacuum Circuit Breakers. They are similar in many ways
with the main differences centering around the
secondary/primary connection methods and the mounting
methods used. The differences are specifically addressed
in this book. The Type VCP-W is a horizontal drawout, roll
on the floor type removable interrupter element. The
Type VCP-WR is a fixed interrupter element with the
customer responsible for all required operational and
safety interfaces. Designed to ANSI Standards for
reliable performance, ease of handling, and simplified
maintenance, VCP-W and VCP-WR circuit breakers
provide reliable control and protection for electrical
equipment and circuits. In addition, these technologically
advanced circuit breakers provide higher insulation levels
in less space, thus reducing the overall switchgear size.
WARNING
SATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE OF THESE
BREAKERS IS CONTINGENT UPON PROPER
APPLICATION, CORRECT INSTALLATION AND
ADEQUATE MAINTENANCE. THIS INSTRUCTION
BOOK MUST BE CAREFULLY READ AND
FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM
PERFORMANCE FOR LONG USEFUL LIFE OF THE
CIRCUIT BREAKERS.
