Page 8 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Toshiba HV6FS vacuum circuit breakers
described in this manual are suitable for use on
systems of 4.8kV and 7.2kV voltage classes that
require interrupting ratings of 16kA and 14kA
respectively and a continuous current rating of
630A. The circuit breakers are intended for use
in limited applications requiring small physical
size and low maintenance.
These breakers are designed for fixed panel
mounting and are available with upper main
circuit terminals (MU type) or rear terminals (ML
type).
The breakers are available as both manual and
motor-operated types. Motor-operated breakers
use a motor to charge the closing springs and to
close the breaker upon command. Both types
can be tripped electrically and also include
undervoltage release.
Arc interruption is accomplished inside sealed
vacuum interrupters mounted on track-resistant
insulators. Vacuum interrupters use low-surge
contact materials that exhibit low current
chopping levels reducing switching overvoltages.
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrate and identify the major
components of the circuit breakers.

MOUNTING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER TO A
PANEL
The circuit breakers are designed to mount to a
panel made from 11 ga. (.12 in.) thick steel. If
the breaker must be mounted to a panel of
different thickness, contact Toshiba.
Panel cutout dimensions for the circuit breakers
are given in Fig. 12. One cutout size is used for
all breaker types.
To mount the circuit breaker, follow the steps
below:
1. Loosen the small screw (M5) on the closing
handle and remove the handle.
2. Remove the four front plate mounting bolts
(M8) from the circuit breaker (Fig. 9).
Remove the spacer washers between the
front plate and breaker and discard them
(make sure none are left inside the breaker),
3. Align the breaker with the cutout and
mounting holes on the panel to which it is to
be mounted (Fig. 10). Some breakers are
furnished with two hooks that may be used to
temporarily attach the breaker to the panel.
4. Using the four M8 bolts removed in step 2,
fasten the breaker and its front plate to the
mounting panel (Fig. 11). The tightening
torque should be 120-150 kgf-cm (9-11 ft-lb).
5. Replace the closing handle removed in step
1 and the M5 screw. The screw should be
tightened to a torque of 40-50 kgf-cm (35-43
in-lb).

MAIN CIRCUIT CABLE CONNECTIONS
Cables that connect to the circuit breaker should
be routed to avoid interference with sharp edges
and moving parts. Minimum bending radius for
the type of cable used should be observed.
Power cables should be braced and/or laced to
withstand short-circuit forces wherever such
cables are unsupported. Power cables should
be adequately sized to carry the maximum
continuous current in accordance with NEC
requirements and should have an adequate
voltage rating. Cables should be dressed and
terminated as appropriate to the voltage class
and cable manufacturer’s recommendations.
When terminating shielded cables, use
termination kits appropriate for the system
voltage to taper the insulation and reduce
electrical stress. Follow the manufacturer’s
installation instructions provided with the
termination kit.
To connect cables, follow the steps below:
1. Pass the cable through the insulating
cylinder (six cylinders are supplied with the
circuit breaker) (Fig. 15).
2. Fasten the cable to the main circuit terminal
(Fig. 16). Use 35 mm Class 8.8 M10 or M12
hex head bolts, 2 flat washers, a lock washer
and a nut. While securely preventing the bolt
from rotating with a wrench, torque the nut to
250-315 kgf-cm (18-23 ft-lb) for M10 bolts or
450-565 kgf-cm (32-41 ft-lb) for M12 bolts.
Use two wrenches to torque
the connection to prevent
applying excessive force to
the terminal that can
damage the frame.
3. Fasten the insulating cylinder in place, then
check to make sure that the hook is engaged
(Fig. 17).
