MV Metal -EnclosedFusible SwitchgearTechnical DataEffective: August 1999 Page 1TD.45A.01A.T.ENew InformationCutler-HammerDescriptionWLI (Load Interrupter) switchgear is an inte-grated assembly of switches, bus and fuses which are coordinated electrically and mechanically for medium voltage circuit protection. All major components are manu-factured by Cutler-Hammer, establishing one source of responsibility for the equipment’s performance and assuring high standards in quality, coordination, reliability, and service.A complete line of Cutler-Hammer switches and fuses is available, as follows:? 5, 15, 27, and 38 kV voltage classes.? 600-ampere continuous and load inter-rupting ratings, all voltage classes, 1200 amperes continuous and load interrupting for 5 kV and 15 kV classes.? Non-fused or fused with current limiting or boric acid-type fuses.? Manual or motor operated.? Indoor or outdoor non-walk-in enclosures.? Single switches and transformer primary switches.? Duplex load break switch arrangements for selection of alternate feeds.? Two-position, manual no-load selector switches for selection of alternate feeds (5 kV and 15 kV only).? Lineups with main bus.? Standard arrangements with automatic transfer control systems, two sources feeding one load or two sources feeding two loads on a split bus with tie switch.Standard design configurations for:? NEMA pads for cable lugs,? Surge arresters,? Instrument transformers,? Control power transformers,? IQ electronic metering,? PowerNet accessing devices such as ad-dressable relays and PONI cards,? Other auxiliary equipment.ApplicationCutler-Hammer Load Interrupter (Type WLI) metal-enclosed switchgear provides safe, reliable switching and fault protection for medium voltage circuits rated from 2.4 kV through 38 kV. The WLI switch is ideal for applications where high duty cycle operation is not needed.WLI switchgear has the advantage of low initial cost inherent in switch designs while offering the characteristics most vital to safety and coordination.The WLI switch’s quick-make, quick-break mechanism provides full-load current inter-rupting capability while fuses provide accu-rate, permanently calibrated short circuit detecting and interrupting capabilities.Visibility of actual blade position improves safety by giving positive assurance of circuit de-energization.WLI switchgear meets or exceeds the follow-ing industry standards: IEEE C37.20.3, ANSI C37.22, ANSI C37.57, ANSI C37.58, NEMA SG5.WLI switchgear assemblies are available as listed products with Underwriters Laborato-ries Incorporated or Canadian Standards Association with a limited variety of options.WLI switchgear assemblies are available seis-mically labeled to meet the seismic zone 4 requirements of either UBC or California Title 24 or BOCA (Building Officials and Code Administration, International).Load interrupter switches should not be used for interrupting fault currents, phase or ground, as they are neither designed nor tested for interrupting fault currents on electrical systems. For ground fault current tripping see WVB switchgear, section C2 of CAT.71.01.T.E or TD.45B.01.T.E.Technical DataEffective: August 1999Page 2TD.45A.01A.T.EMV Metal-EnclosedFusible Switchgear Cutler-Hammer78Construction 1 Switch Mechanism.Quick-make, quick-break stored energy operation.The opening and closing of the switch blades is done by the operating spring. An opera-tor’s actions only charge and release the operating spring.The switch blades cannot be teased to any intermediate positions. During the closing operation, full clearance between blades and stationary contacts is maintained until the switch mechanism goes over toggle.The switch mechanism has only metal-to-metal linkage - no chains or cables are used.Arc interruption takes place between copper-tungsten tipped auxiliary (flicker) blade and arcing contacts within a DE-ION arc chute; no arcing takes place between the main blades and the stationary contacts.Blow out forces cannot be transmitted to the operating handle. 2 Provisions for Padlocking Door. 3 Inspection Window.A single gasketed, rectangular, high impact viewing window permits full view of the posi-tion of all three switch blades through the closed door. 4 Full Height Main Door.The door has a return flange, is reinforced and has two rotary latch-type handles to provide latching members held in shear. It closes over a projecting frame and has concealed hinges. 5 Foot Operated Door Stop. 6 Grounded Metal Safety Barrier.Prevents inadvertent contact with any live part, yet allows full-view inspection of the switch blade position. 7 Door Interlock.Prevents the door of the enclosure from being opened when the switch is closed. 8 Switch Interlock.Prevents inadvertent closure of the switch if the door of the enclosure is open. 9 High Quality Insulation.Bus and switch insulators, switch drive rods barriers between phases, and barriers between outer phases and the housing, are of high strength, non-hygroscopic, track resistant glass polyester as standard. 10 Permanent Switch Position Indicators. 11 Provisions for Padlocking Switch Open or Closed.237842596141011121 12 Provisions for Door and Switch Key Interlocks. 13 The Operating Handle. It is conveniently located behind a small access door giving the structure a smooth homogeneous appearance and discourages casual contact by unauthorized personnel. 14 Switchgear Assembly Rating Nameplate.781213Technical DataEffective: August 1999 Page 3TD.45A.01A.T.ECutler-Hammer MV Metal-EnclosedFusible SwitchgearTypical Selector Switch ConfigurationSwitch MechanismThe quick-make, quick-break mechanism utilizes a heavy-duty coil spring which provides powerful opening and closing action. To close the switch, the handle is inserted into the spring charging cam, then rotated upward through an angle of 120 degrees. This action charges the operating spring, and as the mechanism is forced past toggle, the stored energy of the spring is released and transferred to the main shaft which snaps the switch closed.As a result of the over-toggle action, the blades are moved independently of the opera-tor. It is impossible to tease the switch into any intermediate position. To open the switch, the handle is inserted into the spring charging cam and rotated down-ward through 120 degrees resulting in charg-ing of the operating spring, then releasing its stored energy in similar sequence.Spring Being ChargedQuick-Break DE-ION Arc InterruptionWith the switch closed, both main and auxiliary (flicker) blades are closed, and all of the current flows through the main blades. The flicker blades are in the closed position in the arc chutes, but are past the arcing contacts and thus carry no current.As the main blades open, current is trans-ferred momentarily to the flicker blades, which are held in the arc chutes by high pressure contact fingers. There is no arcing at the main blades.When the main blades reach a pre-determined angle of opening, a stop post on the main blades prevent further angular movement between the main and flicker blades. This starts the flicker blades out of the high pressure contacts in the arc chutes and as contacts are broken, the flicker blades are snapped into position by their torsion springs.The heat of the arc, meanwhile, releases a blast of de-ionizing gas from the gas-generating material of the arc chute. This combination of quick-break and DE-ION action quickly extin-guishes the arc and the circuit is safely de-energized.Two-Position, No-Load Selector SwitchThe WLI load interrupter switch can be provid-ed with a two-position non-load break selector switch. This selector switch is mechanically interlocked such that operation can be per-formed only when the load interrupter switch is in the open position. Also, neither the WLI switch nor the main door can be closed without the selector switch being positively locked in one of the two feeder positions.Both Blades DisengagedMain, Flicker Blades EngagedDuplex Switch ConfigurationTwo WLI load interrupter switch sections can be provided with a common load side bus feeding one load, fused or nonfused. Key interlocks are a standard feature provided to permit only one switch to be closed at one time and prevent opening any switch door unless both switches are open.Main Blades Disengaged, Flicker Blade EngagedTypical Two-Position Selector Switch for Bottom Cable EntranceNon LoadBreak SelectorSwitchLoad BreakSwitchMechanicalInterlockTypical Duplex Switch ConfigurationTechnical DataEffective: August 1999Page 4TD.45A.01A.T.EMV Metal-EnclosedFusible Switchgear Cutler-HammerMotor Operated WLI SwitchesApplicationThe WLI Pow-R-Drive motor operator makes possible the safety, convenience, and coordi-nation inherent in remote switch operation.DescriptionA WLI Pow-R-Drive motor operated switch is a standard, manually-operated switch in combination with a heavy-duty electric motor-driven linear actuator which charges the spring. The linear actuator is located in a separate isolated low-voltage compartment.During electrical operation, it smoothly and quietly extends or retracts the proper distance to cause the switch mechanism to operate.Standard motor operators are mounted in the switch enclosure. This eliminates the separate motor compartment conserving floor space.Manual OperationA steel clevis pin connects the linear actuator to the spring charging mechanism. This pin can be removed by hand and the linear actuator pivoted away from the mechanism allowing manual operation.Kirk Key to Lock Switch OpenThe Kirk key locking bolt can only be extended when the switch is in the open position. When the switch is closed, the shaft interlock cam prevents the switch from being locked in the closed position.Extending the bolt not only locks the switch in the open position, but also breaks electrical motor contacts integral to the Kirk key and permits the key to be removed. With the key, the operator can then open the lock on the switch door. This scheme gives positive assurance that the switch is open and cannot be closed with the door open.Technical DataEffective: August 1999 Page 5TD.45A.01A.T.ECutler-Hammer MV Metal-EnclosedFusible SwitchgearApplicationWLI switchgear with an automatic transfer control system is an integrated assembly of motor operated WLI switches, sensing devices and control components. Available in 5 through 38 kV classes.It is typically applied where the continuity of service for critical loads from two power sources in either a two-switch (one load) or three-switch (two loads) configuration is desired.WLI switchgear with an automatic transfer control system can meet most automatic throwover requirements as it has a wide variety of operational sequences embodied in one standard automatic transfer control system.IQ Transfer ControllerThe IQ Transfer is equipped to display history information either via the front panel or over PowerNet. Source 1 and Source 2 Run Time, Available Time, and Connect Time are avail-able as well as Load Energized Time, Number of Transfers, and the Date, Time and Reason for the Last 16 Transfers.For communications capability, the IQ Transfer can be equipped with a PONI card which will allow the user to communicate Typical Two-Switch Operation IQ Transfer Controller The IQ Transfer controller continuously monitors all three phases on both sources for correct voltages. Should the voltage of the normal source be lost while the voltage of the alternate source remains normal, the voltage sensing function in the IQ Transfer will change state starting the time delay function. If the voltage of the normal source is not restored by the end of the time delay interval the normal switch will open and the alternate source switch will close restoring power to the load.Typical Three-Switch OperationThe WLI automatic transfer controller contin-uously monitors all three phases on both sources for correct voltages. Should the volt-age of either source be lost the failed source voltage sensing relays will change state start-ing the time delay function. If the voltage of the normal source is not restored by the end of time delay interval the failed source switch will open and then the tie switch will close. Both load buses are then fed from the remaining source.Standard FeaturesVoltage sensing on both sources (two-switch uses IQ Transfer, three-switch uses voltage relays).Lights to indicate status of switches, sources, etc.Interlocking to prevent paralleling of sources via software.Control power for the automatic transfer control system is derived from the sensing voltage transformers.Manual override operation.Selectable closed or open transition on return to normal.Programmable time delays on both sources, "OFF DELAY" and "ON DELAY."Single-source responsibility: all basic compo-nents are manufactured by Cutler-Hammer.Key interlocking of operating system and doors where required to provide operator safety.Optional FeaturesLockout on phase and/or ground over-currents and/or internal bus faults.WLI Switchgear with Automatic Transfer ControlTwo-Switch Automatic TransferIQ Transferwith the unit via Series III software. All settings for purchased options can be set from the faceplate of the unit or downloaded over PowerNet. Series III software allows for charting of key historical data as well as providing the capability to monitor and control the transfer switch from a remote location.Technical DataEffective: August 1999Page 6TD.45A.01A.T.EMV Metal-EnclosedFusible Switchgear Cutler-HammerElectronic Metering and Communications ApparatusWLI switchgear assemblies can be equipped with Cutler-Hammer IQ Family of Electronic Meters to monitor a power circuit’s electrical quantities within the capabilities of each device.

Tests were performed to substantiate all pub-lished ratings in accordance with ANSI and NEMA standards.The testing program included tests of:Basic Impulse Levels Momentary Withstand Short Time Withstand Fault Closing Load Interrupting at various loads, various power factors Mechanical Life TestsThese tests verified not only the performance of the switch and integrated switch-fuse assembly, but also the suitability of the enclosure venting, rigidity, and bus spacing.The mechanical life test subjected the WLI switch to a number of no load cycles greater than the requirements tabulated in ANSI C37.22 standards. There were no moving or current carrying part failures as a result.Surge ProtectionIEEE standard C62.11 for metal oxide surge arresters lists the maximum rated ambient temperature as 40°C. The ambient tempera-ture inside a WLI switchgear vertical section may exceed this temperature, especially in outdoor applications where solar radiation may produce a significant contribution to the temperature.
