INTRODUCTlONService Information S260-20-9 coversthe maintenance instructions for TypesVR VCR, and VLR motor operated oilswitches. This includes their generaldescription, operating principles andinstructions for periodic inspection, test-ing, trouble shooting and shop repairs.A service parts list, keyed to explodedview drawings of the equipment isincluded at the back of the manual.NOTE: Maintenance instructions for early(pre1970) versions of these switches is cov-ered in the original service bulletin 287-10SB-1.

GENERAL DESCRIPTlONThese oil-filled, electrically-operateddevices provide, three-phase switchingfor general purpose loads (Type VR)capacitive loads (Type VCR) and induc-tive loads (Type VLR) on manual orautomatic command. These switchesutilize a common operating mechanismand package configuration, and are dif-ferentiated by their contact assemblies.

The Type VCR switch utilizes a set ofwedge-shaped moving contacts for arc-ing and a set of bayonet-type contactsfor load-carrying. In addition, resistors inseries with the arcing contacts dampboth the magnitude and frequency oftransient inrush currents for parallelcapacitor bank switching applications(Figure 2).

The Type VR switch utilizes two setsof wedge-shaped moving contacts, oneset for arcing and the second for load-carrying (Figure 3).

The Type VLR switch utilizes a set ofbayonet-type moving contacts whichoperate within self-blast interrupter-chambers for quick and effective arcinterruption when switching inductiveloads (Figure 4).

The contact structures for all threephases are linked with bell cranks to acommon torque shaft operated by theactuator mechanism located in the cabi-net on the front of the switch.

DESCRIPTION OFOPERATION

Standard ActuatorThese switches are equipped with amotor-operated actuator mechanism(Figure 5) for remote closing. Remotetripping is accomplished by energizing atrip-open solenoid which unlatches aspring-loaded operating mechanism toopen the main switch contacts. Subse-quent closing is accomplished by oper-ating the motor which loads the openingsprings, latches the operating mecha-nism, and extends the opening springuntil it overtoggles and closes the mainswitch contacts. Time of the closingoperation is approximately 10 seconds.

A mechanical schematic diagramshowing a single set of contacts con-nected to a straight line motion linkageand a stored energy actuator is used toillustrate operating principles. With thecontacts closed (Figure 6), the openingspring is held extended by a rigidlylatched toggle mechanism. When theopening circuit is energized, the tripsolenoid breaks the latch to collapsethe toggle and open the main contacts(Figure 7). Both springs are relaxed; thecontacts cannot be tripped closed acci-dentally.

When the closing circuit is energized,the motor operates to drive the crank-arm on the gear reduction whichextends the toggle until it latches andextends both the opening and closingsprings (Figure 8). Further travel of thecrank arm over toggles the closingspring to close the switch and carry therigid toggle (and extended openingsprings) to the position shown in Figure6, ready for another trip operation.

The selector switch provides orderlytransition from trip to close and fromclose to trip. The selector switch is oper-ated from the main shaft. When themain contacts are closed the trip circuitis enabled and the close circuit is dis-abled. When the main switch contactsare open the trip circuit is disabled andthe close circuit is enabled. Figure 9shows the circuit diagram for the stan-dard actuator.

Figure 11.Status of actuator with closingspring preloaded.

Figure 12.Quick-close actuator circuit diagram.

Quick-Close ActuatorWhen equipped with the quick-closeactuator (Figure 10) the main switchcontacts close in 2.5 to 5 cyc/es afterenergizing the closing circuit (comparedto 10 seconds for the standard opera-tor). However, at least 10 seconds lapsebetween an opening and closing opera-tion to allow the motor operator topreload the closing springs. The acces-sory includes a cam-operated cutoutswitch to allow the motor to preload theclosing mechanism and a solenoid-operated latch to release the preloadedclosing mechanism.

With the contacts closed, mechanismstatus is the same a shown in Figure 6.When the opening circuit is energized,the trip solenoid breaks the latch to col-lapse the toggle and open the switchcontacts (Figure 7). At the same time,the closing motor is energized anddrives the crank arm to extend the tog-gle until it latches and extends both theopening and closing springs. The clos-ing mechanism is latched in the pre-loaded position by the closing solenoid(Figure 11). When the closing circuit isenergized the closing solenoid releasesthe overtoggled mechanism to close theswitch and return the mechanism to thestatus shown in Figure 6.

Figure 12 shows the circuit diagramfor a control equipped with the quick-close feature with the main contactsopen. A close signal energizes thequick-close coil, closing the main switchcontacts. The selector switch is operat-ed to the left to disable the quick-closecoil circuit and enable the trip circuit. Anopen operation energizes the trip coil,opening the main switch contacts. Theselector switch is operated to the rightto disable the open circuit and thecutout switch is operated to the left toenergize the motor. The motor operatesto preload the closing spring. At thecompletion of this operation the cam onthe crank arm operates the cutoutswitch to the right to de-energize themotor.

MAINTENANCEFrequency of MaintenanceBecause these switches are appliedunder widely varying operating and cli-matic conditions, maintenance intervalsare best determined by the user basedon actual operating experience. CooperPower Systems recommends the switchbe inspected and serviced yearly untilexperience indicates a more advanta-geous schedule. In no case should theservice interval extend beyond 1200operations.

Periodic MaintenanceInspectionEach periodic maintenance inspectionshould include at least the following:1. By-pass and remove the switch from

service.2. Inspect external components.

A. Clean the bushings and inspectfor chips, cracks and breaks.Replace as necessary. (Seepage 7 for procedure.)

B. Check for paint scratches andother mechanical damage. Paintto inhibit corrosion.

3. Perform a dielectric withstand test todetermine the insulation level. (Seepage 6 for procedure.)

4. Loosen the head bolts and removethe mechanism from the tank. Becareful not to damage the gasket, ifthe tank and head must be priedapart to break the seal.

5. Allow the oil to drain off the mech-anism.

6. Clean the internal components.A. Remove all traces of carbon by

wiping with a clean, lint-freecloth.

B. Flush the internal componentswith clean transformer oil.

7. Check the moving and stationarycontacts.A. Slight pitting and discoloration can

be dressed with crocus cloth or afine-tooth file.

B. Replace both the moving and sta-tionary contacts if they areseverely eroded. (See page 7 forprocedures.)NOTE: The contacts should bereplaced before erosion of the load-current transfer surfaces impairs theireffectiveness.

8. Manually close and trip the switchseveral times to check that all com-ponents perform properly. (See page6 for manual closing procedure.)

9. Inspect the tank wall liners. Soft orspongy areas indicate that water has

6

Figure 13.Manually cranking actuator toclose switch.

been absorbed. Replace liners ifthis condition is detected or evensuspected.

10. Check the dielectric strength of theinsulating oil.A. A sample taken near the bottom

of the tank should have adielectric strength of not lessthan 22 kv rms.

B. Low dielectric strength indicatesthe presence of water or carbondeposits; replace the oil. (SeeOil Condition.)

11. If oil must be replaced, drain thetank and discard the tank wall lin-ers.

12. Thoroughly clean out all sludge andcarbon deposits and rinse the tankwith clean oil.

13. Install new tank wall liners and fillthe tank with clean, new insulatingoil to within 1-1/4” of the top of thetank flange. Oil capacity is approxi-mately 19 gallons.NOTE: Use only new, or like new recon-ditioned transformer oil which conformsto the specifications in Cooper PowerSystems Reference Data R280 901, “OilSpecifications and Test”.

14. Clean and examine the head gas-ket. Replace if it is damaged or hastaken a permanent set.

15. Clean the head gasket seat andretank the switch.A. Replace the head bolts and

torque to 12-15 ft-lbs. Applyclamping force gradually andequally, in rotation, to each boltto achieve an evenly distributedgasket sealing pressure.NOTE: Maximum gap between tankflange and head casting shall be3/16 inch.

16. Check the oil level with the dipstickin the head and adjust the level tothe upper line on the stick.

17. Electrically operate the switch tocheck for proper operation.

18. Repeat the high voltage dielectricwithstand test (Step 3) to makesure the dielectric clearances with-in the tank have not been compro-mised.

Operating InstructionsELECTRICAL OPERATIONThe switch may be opened and closedelectrically by applying rated operatingvoltage directly to the terminal block ofthe actuator. See nameplate for ratedoperating voltage for the control.

Standard ActuatorRefer to the connection diagram for thestandard actuator (Figure 9) and pro-ceed as follows:

TO CLOSE SWITCH—Apply ratedoperating voltage across terminals 2and G long enough for the motor tocomplete its closing cycle (approximate-ly 10 seconds).

TO OPEN SWITCH—Momentar ilyapply rated operating voltage acrossterminals 3 and G to energize the tripsolenoid.

Quick-Close ActuatorRefer to the connection diagram for thequick-close actuator (Figure 12) andproceed as follows:

TO CLOSE SWITCH—Apply ratedoperating voltage across terminals 1and G. If the closing spr ing is notpreloaded, the motor will operate toextend the spring (approximately 10seconds). When closing spr ing ispreloaded, temporarily jumper terminals1 and 2 to energize the quickclosesolenoid.

TO OPEN SWITCH—Apply rated oper-ating voltage across terminals 3 and Gto energize the trip solenoid.

MANUAL OPERATIONA crank is included in the bottom of theactuator cabinet for closing the switchmanually.

To Close SwitchSTANDARD ACTUATOR—Apply crankto shaft on the front of the mechanism(Figure 13) and turn crank clockwiseuntil the closing spring overtoggles andcloses the switch (approximately 42turns).

QUICK CLOSE ACTUATOR — Applycrank to shaft on the front of the mecha-nism (Figure 13) and turn crank clock-wise until the closing spring drive crankhits its mechanical stop (approximately42 turns). Then mechanically operatethe quickclose solenoid to release thespring and close the switch.

To Open SwitchFor both the standard and quick-closeactuators, pull down the pull ring under-neath the actuator cabinet to mechani-cally operate the trip solenoid.

Oil ConditionOil plays an important role in the properfunctioning of the switch. It provides theinternal insulating barrier between phas-es and from phase to ground, and actsas an arc quencher. Switching opera-tions cause reductions of some of theoil into chemical compounds, free car-bon and gases. Some of these com-pounds form water-absorbing particleswhich reduce the dielectric strength ofthe oil. For effective switch operation theoil must be replaced before it deterio-rates below a safe level. OiI that hasbeen contaminated with carbon sludgeor has a dielectric strength of less than22 kv should be replaced.

Used oil must be reconditionedbefore using. Filtering may removeabsorbed and free water, and other con-taminants to raise the dielectric strengthto an acceptable level. However, it doesnot always remove water absorbingcontaminants. Thus, the dielectr icstrength of the oil may fall rapidly afterthe switch is returned to service. There-fore the switch should be filled with newoil or oil that has been restored to like-new condition. Oil used in these switch-es conforms to ASTM Standard D3487,Type l; its property limits are listed inReference Data R280-90-1; ”Oil Specifi-cations and Tests”.

New oil should always be filteredbefore using even though it is obtainedfrom an approved source. Passing oilthrough a blotter press will remove freewater and solid contaminants such asrust, dirt, and lint. When filtering the oil,aeration should be kept to a minimum toprevent moisture in the air from con-densing in the oil and lowering itsdielectric strength.

Insulation Level Withstand TestsHigh-potential withstand tests provideinformation regarding the dielectric con-dition of the switch. Testing is performedat 75% of the rated low-frequency with-stand voltage (37.5 kv). Proceed as fol-lows:

TEST 1: Proceed as follows:1. Close the switch.2. Ground switch tank and head.3. Connect together all three bushings

on one side of the switch.4. Apply test voltage (37.5 kv) to the

connected bushings.• The switch should withstand the

test voltage for 60 seconds.

S260-20-9

Figure 14.Bushing parts.

TEST 2: Proceed as follows:1. Close the switch.2. Ground switch tank and head.3. Ground the outer two bushings

(Phase A and Phase C).4. Apply test voltage (37.5 kv) to the

center bushing (Phase B).• The switch should withstand the

test voltage for 60 seconds.

TEST 3: Proceed as follows:1. Open the switch.2. Ground switch tank and head.3. Connect and ground all three bush-

ings on one side of the switch.4. Connect together the three bush-

ings on the other side of the switch.5. Apply test voltage (37.5 kv) to the

ungrounded side of the switch.• The switch should withstand the

test voltage for 60 seconds.6. Reverse the test and ground con-

nections to the bushings.7. Again apply test voltage (37.5 kv) to

the ungrounded bushings.• The switch should withstand the

test voltage for 60 seconds.

TEST RESULTS: These high potentialwithstand tests provide information onthe dielectric condition of the switch.A. If the switch passes the closed con-

tacts tests (Test 1 and 2) but failsthe open contacts test (Test 3) thecause is likely to be in one or moreof the main contact assemblies.

B. If the switch fails the closed con-tacts tests (Test 1 and 2) the causeis likely to be a diminished electri-cal clearance or failed insulation.

C. After correcting the problem, retestto confirm the repair.

SHOP REPAIR PROCEDURESThe procedures described in this sec-tion should be performed under thecleanest possible conditions. No spe-cial tools are required for any of therepair procedures.

BushingsBushing replacement generally con-sists of a thorough cleaning and care-ful examination for chips, cracks, orother mechanical damage during theperiodic maintenance inspection.Bushings must be replaced wheneverdamage is discovered.

Note that the contact structures aresuppor ted from the bottom of thebushings. If more than one bushing isdamaged, replace only one bushing ata time to maintain contact alignment.

To replace a bushing refer to Figure14 and proceed as follows:1. With the switch untanked, remove

the nut, lockwasher and flatwash-er holding the contact structure tothe lower end of the bushing rod.

2. Remove the three hex head cap-screws and clamps that secure thebushing to the head and lift out thecomplete bushing assembly.

3. Remove and discard the lower bush-ing gasket.

4. The complete bushing assembly canbe replaced or new porcelain onlycan be installed depending upon theextent of damage. If new porcelainonly is to be installed, proceed asfollows:A. Unscrew the bushing terminal

and withdraw the rod from thebottom of the porcelain; discardthe terminal gasket.

B. Insert the rod assembly all theway into the new porcelain, mak-ing sure the roll pin is seated inthe locking groove in the top ofthe bushing.

C. Assemble the terminal to thebushing rod using a new terminalgasket; tighten to a torque of 35ft-lbs.NOTE: Apply a very small amount ofpetroleum jelly to the knurled surfaceof the inside face of the terminalbefore assembling the terminal to thebushing rod.

5. Twist off the split aluminum clampingring from the old bushing and reuseif it is in good condition; replace thering if damaged.NOTE: The clamping ring cushions anddistributes the pressure between theporcelain and the clamps. DO NOT OMIT.

6. Install the bushing assembly (new orreworked) into the head castingusing a new lower bushing gasket.Position the bushing with the stud-end of the terminal pointing out-ward.

7. Position the clamping ring with thesplit centered between two clamp-ing bolts.

8. Reassemble the bushing to the headcasting. Tighten the clamping boltsevenly, a little at a time, to a torqueof 6-10 ft-lbs.NOTE: Clamping forces must be appliedgradually and equally in rotation to eachbolt. This results in an evenly distributedgasket sealing pressure.

9. Reconnect the bushing to the con-tact structure.

10. Recheck contact alignment as spec-ified on page 9 or 12.

ContactsThe Type VR switch utilizes two sets ofwedge-shaped moving contacts; one setfor arcing, the second set for load-carry-ing (Figure 3). The Type VCR switch uti-lizes a set of wedge-shaped contacts forarcing, a set of bayonet-type contactsfor load carrying, and resistors in serieswith the arcing contacts for dampingcapacitor switching transients (Figure2). Contact service and alignment pro-cedures are similar for both switches.

Figure 15.Type VR contact structure.

Figure 16.Type VCR contact structure.

NOTE: The contact structure for Type VCRswitches below serial 1770 uses wedge-shaped contacts for load-carrying as well asarcing. It is strongly recommended that theseold-style contact assemblies be replacedwith the updated version. A contact assemblykit, KA704VCR is available for this purpose.Three kits are required per switch. Instruc-tions for replacing the contact structure areincluded in the kit.

The Type VLR switch utilizes a set ofbayonet-type moving contacts whichoperate within self-blast interrupterchambers (Figure 4). Separate serviceand alignment procedures are includedfor the Type VLR switch.

Contact service and alignment will begreatly simplified if the head assemblyis inverted; bushings down. The headassembly can be supported on its bush-ings.

TYPE VR AND VCR SWITCHESIf it has been determined that the con-tacts must be replaced, refer to Figures15 or 16, as appropriate, and proceedas follows.1. Remove and discard the moving con-

tact assembly by removing the twoscrews and stop nuts that attach theassembly to the contact rod.

2. Remove the stationary contactassembly.A. Type VR switch (Figure 15)

(1) Remove the hardware thatattaches the stationary con-tact assembly block to thecontact support housing anddiscard the entire contactassembly.

Type VCR switch (Figure 16)(1) Disconnect the resistor from

the bracket attached to thearcing contact assembly.

(2) Remove the attaching hard-ware that secures the entirestationary contact assemblyto the contact housing.

(3) Remove the spacer, the arc-ing contact assembly andthe insulator.

(4) Complete the disassembly byremoving the stud, lock-washer, and load-carryingcontact assemblies.

(5) Discard the arcing and load-carrying contact assemblies.

3. Inspect the contact support housingand contact rod for damage. Ifreplacement is not required proceedto step 5. If replacement is required,proceed as follows:A. Disconnect the contact rod from

the operating link by removing theC-ring and link pin. (Figure 17)

B. Remove the outer hex nut, lock-washer and flat washer from thebushing rod and lift contact housingoff the bushing rods.

C. To remove the contact rod from thehousing drive out the roll pin andpull off the movable contactsanchor block. (Figure 18)

D. Replace the damaged assembliesand reassemble the contact rodto the housing.

4. Reinstall the contact support housingand contact rod.A. Set the contact housing assembly

on the bushing rods. See Figure2 to determine the proper orien-tation of the damping resistors oneach phase of the Type VCRswitch.

B. VisualIy check that the contacthousing support brackets areapproximately centered on thebushing rods.

C. Reassemble the flat washers,lockwashers and outer hex nutsto both bushing rods. Check thata flat washer is assembled aboveand below each contact supportbracket. Jam nuts should besnugged down but not tightenedcompletely until after contactalignment has been completed.

D. Reconnect the contact rod to theoperating link with the link pin;secure the pin with a C-ring.

E. With the switch mechanism in theopen position, the top edge ofthe dashpot piston on the con-tact rod should be approximately1/32 inch above the top surfaceof the dashpot. (See Figure 19.)Adjust the nuts on the bushingrods to move the contact hous-ing up or down as required.

5. Reassemble the stationary contactassembly using new contacts.A. Type VR switch

( 1 ) Attach the block of the newstationary contact assemblyto the support housing withthe hardware removed instep 2A(1).

B. Type VCR switch(1) Attach the load-carrying con-

tact assembly to the supporthousing with the studs andinternal tooth lockwashersremoved in step 2B(4).

(2) Reassemble the insulator,arcing contact assembly andspacer onto the studs andsecure with the attachinghardware removed in step2B(2).

(3) Reconnect the resistor to thebracket.

6. Install a new moving contact assem-bly to the anchor block of the bush-ing rod and secure with the screwsand stop nuts removed in step 1.

7. Align the contact assemblies.A. Using a combination square

placed across the machinededges of the head casting,square the edge of the contacthousing with the head casting asshown in Figure 20. obtain prop-er alignment by adjusting theinner hex nut.NOTE: The “sailboat” alignment fix-ture described on page 40 can beused to square VR and VCR contactstructures.

B. With the contact housing squared,tighten both outer hex nuts with-out disturbing the position of theinner nuts.

C. Using a flat plate spanning thehead casting as a base, squarethe side of the contact housingas shown in Figure 21. If notsquare the contact housing canbe forced into the squared posi-tion.

G. Viewing the contact assemblyfrom the end of the switch, as inFigure 24, check that the mov-ing contacts are enter ingsquarely into the moving con-tacts. A visual check that themoving contact bar is parallel tothe edge of the housing is ade-quate assurance of this adjust-ment.

If adjustment is needed,loosen the two stop nuts slightlyand shift the moving contactbar. Tighten stop nuts securely.

D. Unhook the closing spring fromthe drive stud on the front of theactuator mechanism. Install themanual closing crank and crankclockwise untiI the drive studreaches 7 o’clock position;approximately 42 revolutions.

E. Crank slowly from this point, tobring the moving contacts towardthe stationary contacts.NOTE: If the switch is equipped withthe quick-close feature, the mecha-nism will latch in the 7 o’clock posi-tion. To release, push the plunger ofthe quickclose solenoid up into thesolenoid.

F. As the moving arcing contactsapproach engagement with thestationary contacts, observe theiralignment. See Figures 22 and23. The moving contacts in Fig-ure 22 will engage the stationarycontacts evenly, making simulta-neous contact on both sides andwith equal contact force. Themoving contacts in Figure 23might make entry into the sta-tionary contacts but with unequalcontact force.

Contact misalignment can becorrected by twisting the movingcontact assembly about its shaft.The link at the end of the contactrod will permit enough twist toobtain the required adjustment.

Figure 26.Measuring fixed contact holding force.

Figure 25.Final contact clearance.

H. To confirm proper contactengagement, crank the actuatormechanism to the fully closedposition. Check clearancebetween the moving contact barand the contact rod guide block,Figure 25. Clearance must bebetween 1/32 and 1/16 inch.

If clearance is outside theselimits adjust the hex nuts on thebushing rods to move the station-ary contact assembly up or downas required. Often, a half turn ofeach nut provides the adjustmentrequired

Be careful to move the contacthousing evenly so as not to dis-turb its vertical alignment.

I. With the housing adjusted to pro-vide the required gap, tighten thebushing rod nuts securely. Holdthe inner nut in place with onewrench while tightening the outernut with another wrench.NOTE: Recheck the clearance (StepH) and the vertical alignments (StepsA and B) after bushing rod nuts aretight.

J. After all three phases have beenreworked, reconnect the closingspring to the drive stud.

Figure 27.Stationary contact gap.

8. Check contact pressure.A. Using a pressure gage as shown

in Figure 26 check the contactpressure. Force on the gage rodmust be applied at right anglesto the contact surface. The forcerequired to separate a stationarycontact from its moving contactshould be 7.5 ± 0.5 lb.

NOTE: To help determine when theapplied force causes contact separa-tion, an electrical continuity checkcan be used. The faces of all contactsexcept the set being measured areisolated with strips of thin insulatingmaterial.

B. The separating force on a new setof contacts is generally greaterthan 7.5 lb. Therefore, the adjust-ment of new contacts will be inthe direction of reducing contactpressure.

C. To reduce contact pressure:(1 ) Insert a screwdriver between

the stationary and movingcontact tips and pry in thedirection to move the station-ary contact away from themoving contact tip. Adjust thepressure toward the highside.NOTE: A “feel” for applying prop-er leverage is easily determinedafter the first trial. Make smalIchanges in pressure until experi-ence has been gained.

D. To increase contact pressure:(1 ) With the switch open, bend

each contact finger inward.Then close switch and repeatstep C.

E. Equalize the pressure on eachside of a set of contacts as close-ly as possible.

F. After all contact pressure adjust-ments have been made, checkthat the contacts have a gap of1/4 (+1/32 -1/16) inch. (See Fig-ure 27.)

9. Manually operate the switch a fewtimes to observe contact alignment and clearances to verify that all parts have been properly secured.

TYPE VLR SWITCHIf it has been determined that the con-tacts must be replaced, refer to Figure28 and proceed as follows:1. Remove the movable contact yoke

assembly.A. Remove the stop nut and flat

washer from the end of the con-tact rod.

B. Remove the yoke positioningspacers and drive out the rollpin.

C. Note the flat washer arrange-ment above and below the mov-able contact yoke. Be sure toreplace in the same order.

D. Remove and discard the mov-able contact yoke assembly.

2. Remove the stationary contact assembly.A. Remove the brass hex nuts, lock-

washers and flatwashers attach-ing the mounting brackets to thebushing rods.

B. Lift the entire contact housingassembly from the bushings andthe contact rod, which remainsattached to the operating link.

3. Disassemble the stationary contactassembly.A. Remove the contact tube straps

by removing the round headmachine screw and associatedhardware.

B. To free the contact tubes from thehousing, grasp a tube firmly ineach hand and with a slowsteady movement spread thetubes away from the housing, asshown in Figure 29, until theband is released from the tubes.

C. Remove and discard the station-ary contact tube assemblies.

4. Reassemble the stationary contactstructure with new contact tubeassemblies.A. Use the reverse order of step 3B

and Figure 29 to reassemble thetubes and tube band, makingsure the notch in the tube linesup with the tab in the band.

B. Secure the tubes to the housingwith the tube straps.

5. Reinstall the stationary contact struc-ture into the switch.A. Install the assembly over the con-

tact rod and attach to the bush-ing rods with the flat washers,lockwashers, and brass nuts; donot tighten.

Figure 30.Checking axial and longitudinalsquareness with “sailboat” align-ment fixture.

6. Align the stationary contact assembly.A. With the switch mechanism in theopen position, the top of the dashpotpiston on the contact rod should be1/32 inch above the top surface ofthe dashpot. (See Figure 19.) Adjustthe nuts on the bushing rod to movethe contact housing up or down asrequired.B. With a “sailboat” alignment fixture

spanning the machined surfacesof the head casting, check theaxial squareness of the contacthousing as shown in Figure 30.obtain proper squareness byadjusting the bushing nuts while

maintaining the alignment of step6A.NOTE: A typical sailboat alignmentfixture is shown in Figure 31. If a fix-ture is not available the procedure foraligning VR and VCR contact boxes,described on page 31, can be used.

C. With the contact housing squared,tighten both outer bushing nutssecurely without disturbing theposition of the inner nuts.

D. Square the side of the contacthousing with the head casting asshown in Figure 30. If misalign-ment exists, adjust by bendingthe entire structure as required.

7. Install and align the movable contactyoke assembly.A. Replace the correct number of

washers above and below thecontact yoke as noted in Step 1C during disassembly.

B. Reinstall roll pin, spacers, washerand stop nut to complete thereassembly.

C. Unhook the closing spring fromthe drive stud and manuallycrank the mechanism until thedrive stud reaches the 7 o’clockposition; approximately 42 revo-lutions.

D. Crank slowly from this point tobring moving contacts toward thestationary contacts.NOTE: If switch is equipped withquickclose accessory, the mecha-nism will latch in the 7 o-clock posi-tion. To release, push the quick closesolenoid plunger up into the solenoid.

E. As the moving contacts approachthe stationary contacts observetheir alignment. Misalignmentcan be corrected by twisting the

rected by twisting the movingcontact yoke about the contactrod. The link at the end of therod will permit enough twist toobtain the adjustment required.

F. To confirm proper contactengagement, crank the mecha-nism to the fully closed position.Check clearance between themovable contact yoke and thetop of the contact tubes asshown in Figure 32. Vary

the number of washers aboveand below the yoke assembly toobtain the proper clearance.

G. Manually trip open the switch andreattach the closing spring.

8. ManualIy operate the switch a fewtimes to observe contact alignmentand clearances to verify that all partshave been properly secured.

Actuator MechanismNormally, little maintenance is requiredon the actuator mechanism. However,periodic checks should be made toassure trouble-free operation.

ELECTRICAL COMPONENTSIf the switch does not operate electrical-ly but can be manually opened andclosed, check the electrical compo-nents.1. Make a continuity check for broken or

loose wiring.2. Manually operate the miniature con-

trol switches and check contactoperation.

3. Apply rated operating voltage to themotor and solenoids to verify theiroperation.

Replace any components or wiringfound defective. The connection dia-gram for the standard operator is shownin Figure 33; and for the quick-closeoperator in Figure 34.
