15kV Class Padmount VisoVac™
instruction manual
MN024004EN April 2021
In this position, the load way vacuum interrupters and
visible isolation rods are OPEN. The grounding position
is OPEN. This example assumes all load ways (VFI-1) are
de-energized and there are no load side sources. The source
way (SW-1) is closed. See
Figure 31
.
WARNING
The ground rods will ground the cables connected to
the bushings on each associated way . Ensure there
is no voltage present before grounding . The cables
connected to all bushings, any control power sources
or stored energy devices such as capacitors must be
de-energized/discharged before gear is considered
de-energized .
