Ratings/Specifications

The 15kV Loadbreak CRS has a maximum design voltage rating of 15kV. There are no voltage restrictions on applicaton to grounded wye, ungrounded wye, or delta systems having maximum operating voltages (line to line) equal to or less than 15kV.

The 15/27 Loadbreak CRS is to be used on systems which have phase-to-ground voltages no greater than 15 kV and which have phase-to-phase voltages no greater than 27 kV

Sectionalizer modules, fuseholders and mounting assemblies from other manufacturers' loadbreak cutouts are not interchangeable with Chance Loadbreak cutouts. Likewise, Chance loadbreak sectionalizer modules, loadbreak fuseholders and loadbreak mountings are not interchangeable with other manufacturers' loadbreak cutouts.

Operation

The self-contained loadbreak device enables a lineworker to interrupt load current by means of a simple hookstick operation. To break the current, the worker inserts a hookstick into the operating ring and rapidly opens the device. Upon opening, a spring-loaded stainless steel blade mechanism snaps out through a gray arc chute and elongates, cools and extinguishes the confined arc. The loadbreaking operation is independent of the operating speed of the worker. No special or portable tools are required to operate the unit. In its open position, the sectionalizer module hangs in an approximate vertical position for a visible break.
