The equipment covered by this publication mustbe
selectedfor aspecificapplicationand it mustbe
installed,operated,andmaintainedbyqualified
personswhoarethoroughlytrainedandwho
understandany hazards thatmay be involved. This
publication
is
writtenonly for suchqualified persons
and
is
not intended to be
a
substitutefor adequate
training and experience insafety proceduresfor this
type of equipment.
General
The following instructions are forfield assembly (erec-
tion)andinstallation ofS&C Mark
V
Integer Style
Circuit-Switchers. See Figure
1.
The
S&C
Mark
V
Circuit-Switcher employsanin-series
circuit-breaking interrupter and
a
circuit-making and
isolatingdisconnect,makingitespeciallysuitedfor
switching and protection of transformers, lines, cables,
capacitorbanks,andline-connectedortertiary-
connected shunt reactors.TheMark
V
Circuit-Switcher
is suitableforfrequentoperation over
a
long period
of time with minimalmaintenance;is capable
of
closing,
carrying,and interrupting fault currents
as
well
as
load
currents;andutilizesinterrupterseconomically
tailoredfor specific applications by employing the
precise number of interruptinggapsrequired. These
interruptersareunaffected
if
subjected tosustained
systemvoltage for extended periods,
as
a
result of being
left openwith the disconnectblades closed forany
reason.
Each pole-unit of the
S&C
Mark
V
Circuit-Switcher
includes
a
brainwhichprovidesbuilt-inpositive
sequence control
...
and
a
fully enclosed stored-energy
source dedicatedsolely to operationof the interrupter
which
is
in the circuit
at
all times.Close-and-trip
mechanisms are fully enclosed andprotected, too.
Thereare no externallinkages, leverarms, cams, shunts,
etc. that must be coordinated with
a
disconnect blade
toaccomplish circuitinterruption.Positively sequenced
operation is assuredregardless of severe weather
conditions such
as
high winds, rain, sleet, orsnow.
Thefault-closing contacts utilized onInteger Style
Mark
V
Circuit-Switchers consist of
a
rugged stainless-
steeltonguecontactand
a
reverse-loop jawcontact
of tinned,tempered siliconbronze.Thiscontact
arrangementassures long operating life and contrib-
utestoInteger StyleMark

Circuit-Switcher’s high
fault-closingcapability. Dissimilar metalsprevent

Thecurrent-carryingcontacts utilized onInteger
Style Mark
V
Circuit-Switchers consist
of
a
multifinger,
spring-loaded,silver-inlaid, tinned hard-drawn copper,
reverse-loopjaw contact thatgripshard (butonlywhen
needed during short-circuit current surges) against
a
silver-inlaid,high-conductivitycastcoppertongue
contact. Confining allarcingtothefault-closing
contacts, plus thebuilt-in blade-wiping action, assures
clean current-carrying contacts, low-resistance current
path.
Mark

Circuit-Switcher features
a
base-integrated
power train with drive-shaft mechanismthatefficiently

at
high operating
speed
...
and permanently maintainsclose interphase
simultaneity.Thedrivetrainutilizes186-degree
vertical-shaftrotation to provide full toggle action at
both ends of closing and opening strokes for smooth,
shock-free accelerationanddeceleration.Peak mechan-
ical advantage is developed
at
stroke ends for power
opening and closing without hesitation under %-inch
ice Sormation,
