Key Features
• Metal Clad construction
• Horizontal Isolation, Horizontal Draw Out
• Interlocked for safety
• Integral fault-make earth switch
• Simple Installation
• Extensible
• Minimal Maintenance
Circuit Breaker Compartment
The main and reserve busbar and circuit spouts are fitted with automatic safety shutters. The
shutters are pad lockable in the closed position and both sets of shutters can be latched open for
testing or maintenance purposes. The manual latch is automatically cancelled when the circuit
breaker is inserted into the compartment.
Busbar Compartment
Busbar are of unit length and made of high conductivity hard drawn, tubular copper bar. The
busbars are supported on epoxy spouts, which extend the supply to circuit breaker terminal through
isolating contacts.
Although classified as air-insulated, the busbars are covered by means of heat shrunk sleeves
throughout their length and the busbar joint are covered with epoxy insulating covers incorporated
with a layer of removable / flexible epoxy compound.
For the safety of the operator, the following interlocks are provided :
• Circuit Breaker Truck can be racked in only when VCB is in “Open” condition.
• Circuit Breaker Truck can be racked in only when movable VCB assembly is selected in “Main”
or “Reserve” position, not in between.
• Circuit Breaker Truck can be racked out only when VCB is in “Open” condition.
• Circuit Breaker can be in “Close” condition only when it is in “Isolated/Test” or “Service”
position, not in between.
• Control secondary plug can be removed only when Circuit Breaker truck is in “Isolated/Test”
position, not in or in between “Service” position.
• Circuit Breaker Truck can be racked in from “Isolated / Test” to “Service” condition only when
earth switch is at “Open” position.
• Circuit Breaker can be operated only when the movable VCB is in “Main” or in “Reserve”
position.
• The movable VCB can be raised up & lower down only when the Circuit Breaker Truck is in
“Withdrawn” position.
