Industry Leading VacuumTechnology Enhances Breakerand Switchgear Reliability

Type VCP-W Vacuum Circuit Breakers

The highly dependable performance ofCutler-Hammer vacuum circuit breakersresults from our commitment to a continu-ing research and development program.

Beginning with early research in 1929, wehave been a leader in the vacuum inter-rupter field. Production was launched inthe mid-1960s, and since that time hun-dreds of thousands of vacuum interruptershave been in reliable operation worldwide.

Cutler-Hammer experience has resultedin many significant vacuum interrupterbreakthroughs including:

■ Copper chrome contact materialsthat provide longer life.

■ A smaller envelope size withhigher performance.

■ Lower chop currents.■ Improved dielectric strength.

Consequently, Cutler-Hammer vacuuminterrupters are maintenance free…andprovide increased service life and opti-mum operator safety.

Type VCP-W Vacuum Circuit BreakersAre Designed with the PatentedV-Flex Nonsliding, NonrollingCurrent Transfer System

The current transfer system consists of aseries of tin-plated, high-conductivity cop-per leaf conductors that are swaged ontothe movable interrupter stem.

Unique swaged design benefits include:

■ Improved current flow becausethe multipoint contact offers verylow electrical and thermal resistance.

■ Unlike sliding or rolling designs,there are no moving parts to wearout…therefore, no maintenance.

■ Longer circuit breaker service life.

Arcing and Interruption Phenomenaof Relevance to AC Switching

The important arcing and interruption phenomenathat occur during fault current interruption in a vacuumare depicted above. These phenomena influencethe design of the interrupter, particularly its size,configuration, and material of the contacts. Fulldielectric strength is re-established to withstandtransient recovery voltage (TRV) within a few micro-seconds, the fastest available.

Arcing and Interruption in Vacuum

Inside the vacuum bottle, the spiral contact designconfiguration provides a self-induced magneticeffect that moves the arc root around the contactperiphery. This type of arc control prevents hot spotformations and minimizes electrode erosion. Thelow resistance of the spiral design results in lessheat to dissipate, providing the smallest possibleenvelope size.

Nonsliding Current Transfer System

Connecting each leaf conductor to the vacuuminterrupter stem initiates a flattening operation of thesegments which are, in turn, swaged into contactwith the stem. Each leaf, therefore, provides amultipoint connection. As the stem moves up anddown, the V-Flex system flexes, eliminating thesliding action to provide a minimal wear and main-tenance-free system.

Industry Leading VacuumTechnology Enhances Breakerand Switchgear Reliability

Type VCP-W Vacuum Circuit Breakers

The highly dependable performance ofCutler-Hammer vacuum circuit breakersresults from our commitment to a continu-ing research and development program.

Beginning with early research in 1929, wehave been a leader in the vacuum inter-rupter field. Production was launched inthe mid-1960s, and since that time hun-dreds of thousands of vacuum interruptershave been in reliable operation worldwide.

Cutler-Hammer experience has resultedin many significant vacuum interrupterbreakthroughs including:

■ Copper chrome contact materialsthat provide longer life.

■ A smaller envelope size withhigher performance.

■ Lower chop currents.■ Improved dielectric strength.

Consequently, Cutler-Hammer vacuuminterrupters are maintenance free…andprovide increased service life and opti-mum operator safety.

Type VCP-W Vacuum Circuit BreakersAre Designed with the PatentedV-Flex Nonsliding, NonrollingCurrent Transfer System

The current transfer system consists of aseries of tin-plated, high-conductivity cop-per leaf conductors that are swaged ontothe movable interrupter stem.

Unique swaged design benefits include:

■ Improved current flow becausethe multipoint contact offers verylow electrical and thermal resistance.

■ Unlike sliding or rolling designs,there are no moving parts to wearout…therefore, no maintenance.

■ Longer circuit breaker service life.

Arcing and Interruption Phenomenaof Relevance to AC Switching

The important arcing and interruption phenomenathat occur during fault current interruption in a vacuumare depicted above. These phenomena influencethe design of the interrupter, particularly its size,configuration, and material of the contacts. Fulldielectric strength is re-established to withstandtransient recovery voltage (TRV) within a few micro-seconds, the fastest available.

Arcing and Interruption in Vacuum

Inside the vacuum bottle, the spiral contact designconfiguration provides a self-induced magneticeffect that moves the arc root around the contactperiphery. This type of arc control prevents hot spotformations and minimizes electrode erosion. Thelow resistance of the spiral design results in lessheat to dissipate, providing the smallest possibleenvelope size.

Nonsliding Current Transfer System

Connecting each leaf conductor to the vacuuminterrupter stem initiates a flattening operation of thesegments which are, in turn, swaged into contactwith the stem. Each leaf, therefore, provides amultipoint connection. As the stem moves up anddown, the V-Flex system flexes, eliminating thesliding action to provide a minimal wear and main-tenance-free system.

Type VCP-W Vacuum Circuit Breaker…A New Level of Standardization

All Type VCP-W Vacuum Circuit Breakers,regardless of voltage or interrupting ca-pacity, have the same time proven storedenergy mechanism…and are significantlysmaller than conventional medium voltagedrawout breakers in both size and weight.Refer to weights table on page 11.

Three Methods of Easy Installation

Lower Compartment Installation1. A roll off the floor ramp.2. A dockable dolly.

The floor ramp or dockable dolly is usedfor quick lower cell installation or removal.

Upper and Lower Compartment Installation3. A lifting yoke that is compatible with

any standard lifting device.

Since the breaker rides on extension rails,alignment problems are eliminated andinstallation time is reduced. Additionally,a position indicator shows when thebreaker is in the fully connected or dis-connected position.

Designed for Operator Safety

Two dead front shields are provided toisolate the operator from high voltagewhen the breaker is energized.

During levering, safety interlocks renderthe breaker mechanically trip free and thebreaker is grounded throughout its travel.The “T” handle latch which engages anddisengages the breaker is at the bottomof the breaker, far from energized parts.

When the breaker is withdrawn, steel shut-ters automatically rotate to cover the pri-mary disconnect supports…and a currenttransformer barrier is located in front of theshutters. This prevents the operator fromaccidental contact with primary voltageparts and controls.

Tools and Accessories

Cutler-Hammer provides several standard and optional accessories including equipment used to transportthe breaker and lift and lever it into a compartment, as well as a manually operated ground and test device.

Standard accessoriesinclude (top to bot-tom): manual charg-ing handle, left andright removable exten-sion rails, rail clamps,and levering crank.

The optional por-table lifter is usedto lift the breakerfrom or onto theextension rails.

A roll off the floor ramp is used tomove the lower breaker from thefloor to the bottom compartment.

Optional ground and test devices,include manually operated, “BailType” manually operated, electricallyoperated, and “Consolidated Edison”user type (shown). Dummy elementsare also available.

A dockable dollyfor transporting thelower breaker to orfrom the lower com-partment.

Optional accessoriesinclude (clockwise):lifting yoke, test cabi-net, spin-free leveringcrank, and test jumper.
