Worm Gear Mechanism 

 

With ground strap in place on vertical operating 

pipe, slide worm gear mechanism (Fig. 5) over the 

vertical operating pipe and attach it to the 

structure.  Remove the small position indicators, 

which are attached to the worm gear coupling with 

Allen set screws. Tighten hex  head set screws in 

the coupling until the vertical operating pipe is 

pierced.  The three-pole switch should now be 

operated manually to check for proper adjustment. 

If all stops at switch elevation have been set, 

including the offset bearing, then it is safe to 

reinstall the position indicators on the worm gear 

mechanism.  These indicators should not quite 

touch the raised boss on the worm gear housing in 

either the open or closed position.  There is a 

possibility of damage to the indicators or the 

coupling if this is not observed 

 

Motor Operator 

For remote operation, a motor operator is supplied 

and it should be installed per the instructions 

supplied with it.   

 

 

Step 10—Arcing Horns or Arc Restrictors 

When arcing horns of Arc Restrictors are supplied, 

they should now be installed and adjusted in 

accordance with the drawings. The stationary horn 

is attached to the jaw and should be adjusted, or 

even bent slightly, to give a light contact pressure 

between the horn and the switch blade. 

 

Step 11—Installation of Sleet/Corona Shields 

The combination sleet/corona shields should now 

be installed over the blade mechanism at the top of 

the center insulator stack and on top of the two 

jaws as shown on single pole drawings. 

 

Step12—Final Checks  

 

The completed 3-pole installation should be 

checked for the following: 

1.

 

In the open position, the blades should be at an 

angle of 70° to the centerline of the switch 

base, and stop at each base and the stop for the 

operating bearing should be touching, or 

nearly so. The indicator at the  worm gear 

operating mechanism should indicate the 

switch is open. 

2.

 

In closing, blades should make central entry 

into their jaws at approximately the same time. 

3.

 

In the closed position, all blades must be in 

full contact with jaw contacts and also vertical 

within the tolerances described previously. The 

stop at each switch base and the stop for the 

operating bearing should be touching, or nearly 

so. The  indicator  to  the worm gear operating 

mechanism should indicate the switch is closed. 

 

MAINTENANCE 

 

A  certain amount of care and inspection is 

recommended. The frequency of inspection depends 

upon atmospheric conditions and frequency of 

operation.  The service interval is largely 

determined by the user.  Recommended 

maintenance is similar to that listed in  the latest 

industry standards.

1

  First, it is important that the 

insulators are always clean. It is also important that 

the contacts be examined to see that they are 

aligned, clean, and have a firm uniform pressure. If 

the contacts are pitted, or burned to  some extent, 

they should be removed and replaced. 

 

Under normal service conditions, the jaw contacts 

should be examined and maintained at least once a 

year, depending upon the type of atmosphere to 

which they are exposed. 

 

Periodic maintenance should consist of cleaning the 

contact surfaces thoroughly by carefully scraping 

off any contamination or deposit and sanding the 

surface entirely clean, a coating of lubricant should 

be applied. Suggested lubricants are MOBIL 28 

grease of NO-OX-ID  “A Special”. MOBIL 28 is an 

Exxon Mobil Company product. NO-OX-ID is 

made by SANDCHEM INC. 

 

In general, operating linkages require virtually no 

maintenance. However, in contaminated 

atmospheres of where operation under sleet 

conditions is common some lubrication at pivot 

points may be desirable. The grease used should be 

durable even when exposed to the elements, and 

should retain its viscosity over a wide temperature 

range.  

 

Terminal Connections 

 

The aluminum surface of the terminal connection 

provides for easy current transfer.
