Ductile iron castings are mechanically crimped directly to the fiberglass rod. The crimp requires no intermovement of the parts to achieve high strength, nor does it introduce potting compounds or adhesives. ESP insulators are the same proven material used in PDV arresters, Hi*Lite and Veri*Lite insulators and PDI deadends. ESP is a polymer compound made by alloying silicone and EPDM rubber. This alloy offers the desirable toughness and resistance to tracking of Ohio Brasss original EPR, with the hydrophobic characteristics derived from low molecular weight silicone oils. Ohio Brass uses several tests to evaluate materials. Tracking, QUV, corona cutting, salt fog, oxidative stability and variations of differential thermal analysis tests assure the quality of OBs shed material.

AIS Design Features

Structural Stability
The fully welded enclosure is constructed of heavy gauge steel for superior strength and durability. For applications in highly corrosive areas, stainless steel enclosures are available.

Exterior Protection
The surface of each enclosure undergoes a multistage chemical cleaning process. A powder coat finish is then applied for superior corrosion protection, durability and ultraviolet protection. This coating system meets the latest revision of ANSI Standard C57.12.28, Padmounted Equipment Enclosure Integrity, and the EEI Paint Guidelines.

Door Latching System

The low-profile door latch assembly has no protruding handles. The pentahead on the right operates the three-point latch. The pentahead on the left secures the door to the center door jamb. Both pentaheads must be engaged before a padlock can be installed. The latching system exceeds requirements in the latest revision of ANSI C57.12.28 and the Western Underground Committee Guide 2.13, Security for Padmounted Equipment Enclosures.

Externally Replaceable Bushings

Padmount Interchangeability
The AIS is designed to be pad interchangeable with competitive designs. Base adapters also are available to make the AIS compatible with pads for some live front gear.

Visible Break
Oversized Thermopane windows provide excellent viewing for verification of visible break. The large windows are constructed of heavy-duty, mar-proof double pane polycarbonate. They are easily removed in the shop to provide ready access to switch components.

The 600A bushings on the AIS switch are truly externally replaceable. This feature allows the utility to quickly replace any bushings in the field without disassembling the faceplate. Due to the individualized sub-assembly design, the AIS may be provided with 200A bushing wells in lieu of 600A bushings.

External Side Operator

An external operating mechanism is housed on the outside of the center compartment and allows linemen to perform switching functions without opening the cable compartment. Each three-phase gang switch is equipped with its own operator. The external operator can be padlocked in either the open or closed position. A sturdy operating handle is stored in each operator compartment. The padlocking provisions on the compartment doors accommodate the majority of available padlocks. CHANCE CENTRALIA, MISSOURI Confirming the visible break through the AIS windows eliminates the need to move the 600A connectors. MARCH 2008

U-101-16
POWER SYSTEMS, INC.

Fuse versatility was a key design parameter of the AIS in order to utilize existing fuses already approved and in use by the utility and/or to improve coordination with existing fuse systems. A utility using livefront gear can use the same fuses and end fittings in the AIS. S&C SMU-20 power fuse S&C SM-4Z power fuse Cooper type NX current limiting fuse For S&C fuses, indicator windows are provided for locating blown fuses. Fuse doors are mechanically interchangeable and require only a simple operation, without de-energizing the 600 amp line side, to change in the field from one type fuse to another.

Fusing Flexibility

Fuse Access is Safe and Simple

1 - Loadbreak elbow must be removed before the mechanical latch can be opened. Parking the elbow insures that the load is safely disconnected.

2 - After the elbow has been parked, the latching bail on the fuse door is released.

Horizontal Feed-Thru

Sufficient space is provided for feed-thru bushings for parking of elbows.

3 - As fuse door is lowered, a springactivated barrier closes behind it to maintain the deadfront integrity of the switchs tap side.

4 - When the fuse door is fully opened, the fuse tray is positioned an ample distance from the cables for easy removal of the fuses.

FEEDER ISOLATION does not require movement of the 600A connectors.

After verification of visible break, removal of the arrester exposes the load reducing tap plug on back of the 600A connector. MARCH 2008

A Chance Multi-Range Voltage Detector may be used to test for line voltage.

The Feeder can then be grounded with a standard grounding elbow.

AIS Reliability
The AIS has been tested to rigorous specifications of the Standard for Deadfront Padmounted Switchgear, ANSI C37.72. Traditionally, switchgear was subjected to a variety of tests which imposed individual switches to the extremes of interrupting duty, momentary, make-and-latch, dielectric and mechanical tests. As a result of unanimous utility input to the Standards Committee, the design test requirements in the new standard were substantially changed. Now, a single switch must be subjected to a sequence which combines and expands all the rigors previously imposed on individual switches. The design test sequence consists of the following tests in the order indicated: 1. Interrupting Current Test 2. Momentary Current Test 3. Making Current Test 4. 60-Hertz Withstand Test 5. Thermal Runaway Test 6. Mechanical Operation Test After completing the design test sequence, the switch must be capable of carrying rated current without thermal runaway. In addition, the design must pass a 60-Hertz, direct current and impulse test as well as one-second high current, corona and temperature rise tests. While the above tests in themselves are all very important, Chance does not stop at this point in their evaluation of new switch designs. Various other visual, mechanical, electrical and environmental tests are conducted to assure optimum performance.

ANSI Design Tests

The AIS switch undergoes various tests in the Chance Research Center and its testing laboratory complex. After assembly, all switches are tested to ANSI Standards: 1. Voltage Drop Test (IR). Each line direction of the switch configuration is tested. The IR test is a current test where the voltage drop across the area tested is measured to indicate the impedance in the circuit which is tested. This test assures reliable electrical connections. 2. High Potential Testing. Each switch is tested phase-tophase and phase-to-ground across the insulation system with the switch in the open and closed positions.
