Equipment Inspection • Upon receipt of the equipment, inspect the packaging and equipment for shipping damage. • Carefully unpack the equipment and check for parts that may have been damaged during shipping, missing parts, or concealed damage. If any discrepancies are discovered, it should be noted with the carrier prior to accepting the shipment, if possible. File a claim with the carrier if necessary and immediately notify your Toshiba Customer Support Center.
Operating the VCB Failure to take the opportunity to discover abnormalities can result in injuries and equipment damage. Always check to make sure that the ON and OFF indicators are correct before operating the equipment. To avoid damaging the equipment, do not close the circuit when the unit switching indicator is ON. Connecting and disconnecting the main circuit To avoid injury and damage to the equipment, do not remove the holding pin unless you are moving the VCB outside the panel.
During Use Installation location To prevent damage to the VCB or performance degradation, do not store or install it in the following locations: * Places whose ambient temperature is outside the range of -5C to 40C (23F to 104F). This may result in damage or performance degradation. * Places exceeding 1000 m (3300 ft) elevation. This may result in damage or performance degradation. * Places where excessive dust is produced. This may result in damage or performance degradation.
Special environmental conditions When using the VCB in special environments, check the points in Table 1 below. Table 1 Points to Check When Using the Circuit Breaker in Special Environments Special environmental condition Contamination Practical example Check points * Large amounts of dust.
Applicable standards pertaining to switching surges Consult Table 2 for the standards applicable to VCB switching surges.

2. From Receipt to Storage 2.1 Receipt and Unpacking Each VCB unit is carefully tested and inspected prior to shipment, so it can be used as soon as it has been unpacked. However, just in case something should be amiss, you should check the following: (1) When the box is delivered, check to make sure it is not damaged or warped. (2) Remove the unit from the box carefully to avoid damaging it. CAUTION To prevent injury or damage to the equipment, make sure the unit is standing straight up.
Table 5 List of Accessories (Drawout Cell) Part Appearance Quantity Control cable (2m) 1* 2.2 Transport CAUTION Use the proper procedures when moving or transporting the unit. Failure to use the proper (authorized) methods may damage the unit or cause it to fall, resulting in injury. 2.2.
2.2.2 Drawout Cell When hoisting the drawout unit, attach cable (wire rope) to the holes on the left and right of the rear of the unit, as shown in Figure 3.
2.3 Storage Use the following procedures if the VCB will not be operated for a long period of time after it has been installed, or if it must be stored for a long period of time prior to installation. Be sure to observe the precautions for storage and installation locations (see page 5). (1) When storing the unit, cover it with a dust cover. (2) Avoid locations subject to high humidity or exposed to direct sunlight.
3. Installation Make sure the location satisfied the requirements listed under Storage and Installation Location (page 3) and check the dimensions using the diagrams in other catalogs or external view diagrams and panel cut diagram. Prior to installation, the maximum fault current capacity of the power system at the point of installation should be verified. This value must not exceed the symmetrical interrupting capability of the circuit breaker. See typical circuit breaker nameplate below.

Location of VCB holding pin (with chain) Figure 10 Align the positioning arrow on the VCB with the disconnect position and release the interlock lever. Check to make sure the interlock lever has returned to its former position. Insert the VCB holding pin.
4. Operation CAUTION Failure to take the opportunity to discover abnormalities can result in injuries and equipment damage. Always check to make sure that the ON and OFF indicators are correct before operating the equipment. 4.1 Manual Operation CAUTION To avoid damaging the equipment, do not close the circuit when the unit switching indicator is ON. 4.1.1 Closing the Circuit Check to make sure that the switching status is set to OFF. 4.1.1.
(1) When the spring is released Perform the steps shown in Figures 13 and 14 in that order. CHARGING HANDLE CLOSED LEVER Figure 13 Turn the handle clockwise 3 to 5 times and make sure that the spring status is taut. Figure 14 Press the closed lever (green) in the direction of the arrow to close the circuit. When the switching status will change to ON, the VCB is set in close state. (2) When the spring is taut Perform the step shown in Figure 15.
4.1.2 Opening the Circuit This operation is the same for both motorized and manual spring-operated VCBs. TRIP LEVER Figure 16 Press the trip lever (red) in the direction of the arrow to open the circuit.
4.2 Electrical Operation Electrical operations are performed as shown in the flow diagram below.
4.3 Control Circuit 4.3.
4.3.2 Undervoltage Trip All HV6CS breakers are furnished with an undervoltage trip device. The Undervoltage trip device operates to trip the circuit breaker OFF unless 120VAC control power is present at the terminals of the UV (TC4) trip coil. When the circuit breakers are shipped, the Undervoltage trip device is defeated by a factory installed plug (Figure 18). If this plug is left in place, the circuit breaker will operate normally without power applied to the UV coil.
5. Main Circuit Connections and Disconnecting/Removing the Circuit Breaker from the Cell 5.1 Connecting the Main Circuit (disconnected position to connected position) Perform the steps shown in Figures 20 through 21 in that order. WARNING To avoid damaging the equipment, do not connect or disconnect the main circuit when the unit switching status is ON. To prevent electric shock or other injury, do not bend or modify the in/out interlock attached the unit.
6. Maintenance/Inspections To prevent electric shock, turn off the power before starting maintenance and inspections. To prevent electric shock or other injury, check to make sure that the unit status indicators read OFF and DISCHARGED before beginning maintenance and inspection work. To prevent electric shock, do not touch charged parts. WARNING Keep fingers and other body parts, objects, etc. away from the unit mechanism, as you may become caught in the mechanism and injured.
4) Corrective actions or adjustments 5) Date of work 6.1 During Maintenance/Inspections Before inspecting the electrical circuits, take the following measures to prevent electric shock: 1) After opening circuit for the VCB, open the disconnect switch on the power source side to place the main circuit and control circuits of the VCB in no-voltage status. 2) Lock the disconnect switch to prevent operation and label it with an "INSPECTION IN PROGRESS" tag.

Toshiba offers a compact vacuum checker (Type CI35-1D, see Figure 22) 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. Figure 22 Toshiba Portable Vacuum Checker PRECAUTIONS: Applying abnormally high voltage across a pair of contacts in vacuum may produce X-rays.
TEST PROCEDURE: 1. The circuit breaker should be disconnected from the main circuit and be in the OFF position. 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. 3. Increase the voltage from zero to 22kV AC at a rate of approximately 2kV per second.
Figure 25 shows the relationship between the dielectric breakdown characteristics and the withstand voltage between electrodes (for each vacuum interrupter) in the withstand voltage test.
