Components
Overview of Components
Remote Supervisory Vista Underground Distribution
Switchgear features load-interrupter switches for
switching 600-ampere main feeders; microprocessor-
controlled, resettable, vacuum fault interrupters for
switching and protection of 600-ampere main feeders;
and 200-ampere taps, laterals, and subloops. These elbow-
connected components are enclosed in a submersible,
SF6-insulated, welded-steel tank.
The three-position (CLOSED/OPEN/GROUNDED) load-
interrupter switches are manually operated and provide
three-pole live switching of 600-ampere three-phase
circuits. These switches also provide a visible gap when
open and internal grounding for all three phases. When
they are fitted with motor operators and controls, these
switches can be electrically operated via local operation
pushbuttons. The user may also control the motor opera-
tors for the load-interrupter switches remotely when a
remote terminal unit (RTU) and communication device
are integrated with the remote supervisory Vista motor
operators and controls.
The 200-ampere and 600-ampere fault interrupters fea-
ture resettable vacuum interrupters in series with manu-
ally operated three-position (CLOSED/OPEN/GROUNDED)
disconnects for isolation and internal grounding of each
phase. Fault interrupters provide single-pole or three-
pole fault interruption and manual single-pole (standard)
or three-pole (optional) live switching of load circuits.
Fault interruption is initiated by a programmable over-
current control. Conversion from single-pole trip con-
trol to three-pole trip control is accomplished using a
personal computer. See S&C Instruction Sheet 681-515
for instructions on programming the control. The
three-pole fault interrupters may be fitted with motor
operators and controls so they may be electrically operated
via local operation pushbuttons. The user may also control
the motor operators for the three-pole fault interrupters
remotely when an RTU and a communication device are
integrated with the remote supervisory Vista motor opera-
tor and controls.
When the optional voltage indicator (option suffix “-L1”
or “-L2”) is specified, all routine operating tasks—switch-
ing, voltage testing, and grounding—can be accomplished
by a single person without cable handling or exposure to
high voltage. Cable testing for faults can be performed
through the back of a user-supplied elbow with an insert
or feedthru bushing insert, eliminating the need for cable
handling or parking stands. Refer to Figures 1 through 7
for the location of components.

Understanding the Gas Pressure Gauge
Vista switchgear incorporates a temperature-compensated
gas pressure gauge inside the tank to provide indication of
the SF6gas pressure. The gas pressure gauge includes four
distinct color-coded zones. See Figure 8.
If the needle is within a particular zone as described
below, it indicates the following:
Green zone:
The Vista unit is OK to operate.
Green/Yellow zone:
The Vista unit may have lost some gas but is still OK to
operate. The unit should be evaluated to determine whether
it needs to be relled with SF6gas and repaired accordingly.
Contact S&C for assistance.
Red zone:
The SF6gas may be below the minimum operating pressure
for the gear. Vista switchgear should not be operated
if the needle is in the red zone. Contact S&C Electric
Company for assistance.
Orange zone:
The Vista unit has been overlled in the eld or has a
defective pressure gauge. An external gauge can be used
instead to verify the gas levels before operation of the
device. Contact S&C for assistance.
Gauge Needle Fluctuations from Rapid
Ambient Temperature Changes
When the Vista tank experiences rapid changes in
ambient temperature, the gas pressure gauge needle may
temporarily move to indicate a higher gas pressure when
the tank is rapidly cooled or a lower gas pressure when the
tank is rapidly heated. This phenomenon may occur, for
instance, with sudden, direct exposure to intense sunlight.
The gas pressure gauge uses a small reference gas cham-
ber filled with helium to compensate for ambient tempera-
ture and altitude without applying correction factors. The
gauge indicates tank pressure by measuring the pressure
differential between the gas in the tank and the gas in the
gauge. When the tank experiences rapid ambient tempera-
ture changes, the smaller volume of gas inside the gauge can
change temperature more quickly than the larger volume
of gas in the tank, which can lead to temporary movement
of the needle. When the temperature stabilizes, the needle
will return to its previous position within 1-2 hours.
If a sudden drop or increase in pressure is seen on the
gauge, S&C recommends checking with an external gauge
or waiting for ambient temperature conditions to stabilize to
confirm that the needle has returned to its nominal position.

switchgear models.

Note: If the SF6-gas pressure gauge is in the Green-and-
Yellow striped zone, the switchgear can be operated but
the tank must be repaired (if necessary) and refilled with
SF6gas as soon as possible.
STEP 1. Open the viewing window cover and conrm
the position of the load-interrupter switch or
the three-pole fault interrupter by visually
observing the position of the blades. See
Figures 10 and 11.
Also, inspect the current-carrying compo-
nents inside the tank for any signs of abnormali-
ties but specifically for disconnect blade align-
ment, contact finger position, and dislodged
hardware.
WARNING
DO NOT operate the energized load interrupter switch
or fault interrupter if it has dislodged hardware, or
obvious signs of arcing or blade misalignment.
