MOUNTING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER CELL
The circuit breaker cell is designed to mount to
the floor or shelf of the installation compartment.
The floor or shelf to which the cell is mounted
should be flat and level within ± 0.5 mm (± 0.02
in.). If there are any noticeable gaps between
the cell base and the mounting surface, fill them
in using flat washers as spacers.
Use two wrenches to torque
the connection to prevent
applying excessive force to
the terminal that can
CAUTION
damage the frame.
Fasten the cell using four (4) M8 hex head bolts
(Fig. 11). The tightening torque should be 120-
150 kgf-cm (9-11 ft-lb).
MAIN CIRCUIT CABLE CONNECTIONS
Route cables that connect to the circuit breaker
cell to avoid interference with sharp edges and
moving parts. Observe minimum bending radius
for the type of cable used.
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

VACUUM CHECK
A sufficient level of vacuum is necessary for
proper performance of the vacuum interrupters.
Although vacuum leaks are rare, the vacuum
integrity should be checked periodically. The
relationship between dielectric breakdown
voltage of the contact gap and internal vacuum
interrupter pressure has been found to be
generally predictable. Therefore, vacuum
interrupter integrity is checked by performing a
high potential test across the open gap of the
interrupter.
Hazardous voltages are
WARNING
present during dielectric
testing which can result in
severe injury or death.
Only qualified personnel
should conduct this testing.
TEST PROCEDURE:
1. The circuit breaker should be disconnected
from the main circuit and be in the OFF
position.
TEST EQUIPMENT:
2. Connect all the line side primary terminals
together and to the output of the vacuum
checker or AC hi-pot machine. Connect all
the load side primary terminals together and
to the ground terminal of the vacuum checker
or AC hi-pot machine.
Toshiba offers a compact vacuum checker (Type
CI35-1D) which enables a quick and easy check
on vacuum interrupter internal pressure.
Alternatively, any commercially available AC high
potential tester may be used which is capable of
delivering at least 25 milliamperes at 22 kV for a
period of one minute.
3. Increase the voltage from zero to 22kV AC at
a rate of approximately 2kV per second.
Hold the voltage at this value for 1 minute
and observe the current drawn by the
interrupter.
PRECAUTIONS:
Applying abnormally high voltage across a pair of
contacts in vacuum may produce X-rays. The
radiation may increase with the increase in
voltage and/or decrease in contact spacing. X-
radiation produced during this test with
recommended voltage and normal contact
spacing is extremely low and well below the

maximum permitted by standards.
As an
additional safety measure, however, it is
recommended that all personnel keep at least 1
meter (3.3 ft) away from the vacuum circuit
breaker while this test is performed.
Radiation exposure hazard.
X-rays may cause illness or
injury. Stay at least 1 meter
(3.3 ft) away from the circuit
breaker during the vacuum
check test .

sun rays. Store in cool, clean, and dry
location.
3) Place a dust cover over the circuit breaker
packaging to protect against dirt and
moisture.
4) Store in an upright position.
INSPECTION DURING STORAGE
Routine scheduled inspection is necessary if
storage is for an extended period. The unit
should be checked for condensation, moisture,
corrosion, and vermin.
Prior to installation, the circuit breaker should be
carefully examined for evidence of physical
damage, corrosion, or other deterioration. Refer
to the PRE-ENERGIZATION Section of this
manual.
