Instructions for installation, operation,
and maintenance of medium voltage
VC-W MR2 (integral racking)

Pan configurations
Integrated racking is available for all voltage ratings . For 5/15 kV and
27 kV switchgear, there is an optional “Test” position available . The
“Test” position is a physically different position in this assembly,
and the breaker can be racked from “Disconnect” to “Test”, “Test to
Connect”, or in any other order selected by the operator . See below
for what positions are available for each voltage rating .

Permissive interlocks
Operational interlock features
There are multiple permissive interlocks features built into the
controller programming, and error codes are displayed on the
pendant . There are three standard permissive interlocks wired for
every breaker cell with integrated racking and one for every auxiliary
cell with integrated racking .
Breaker cell specific interlocks:
1.
Normally closed mechanism-operated compartment (MOC)
contact wired into the controller programming permissive circuit
(breaker cell only) . Part of the E5 error code circuit (see
) .
a.
If the MV circuit breaker is closed, this circuit will open and
the motor will not run .
b.
This permissive uses only the controller programming to stop
the motor from being powered on .
2.
Normally closed MOC contact wired in series with the black
motor lead (breaker cell only) . Part of the E2 error code circuit
(see
) .
a.
This wrks the same as the first MOC permissive .
b.
Used as a redundant interlock in case the first MOC
permissive fails .
c.
This contact breaks the power to the motor for a more
hardwired permissive .
Breaker cell and auxiliary cell interlocks:
1.
Normally closed manual crank permissive switch located on the
right side of the Lev-in assembly (breaker and auxiliary cell) (see
and
) . Part of the E5 error code circuit (see
) .
a.
This permissive is opened if an operator inserts a tool into
the manual crank of the Lev-in assembly .
b.
This prevents someone from operating the motor while a
person is manually racking the MV circuit breaker or auxiliary .
In addition to the permissive contacts mentioned above,
the controller will accept as many normally closed permissive
contacts wired in series with permissive #1 and #3 as specified
(see
- circuit board wiring points) .
