Conditions of Sale
STANDARD: The seller’s standard conditions of sale set forth in Price Sheet 150 apply, except as modified under the “Warranty Qualifications” section on page 4.
SPECIAL TO THIS PRODUCT:
INCLUSIONS: Source-Transfer PMH Pad-Mounted Gear  rovides fully automatic primary-selective service and fault protection for one or two critical load circuits on solidly grounded systems. These models contain:

  • Stored-energy switch-operator-driven 600-ampere Mini-Rupter® Switches for three-pole live switching of three-phase source circuits
  • A totally self-contained automatic source-transfer package with S&C Voltage Sensors for sensing and control power, and the Micro-AT® Source-Transfer Control for programmed control of all switching func tions associated with automatic source transfer
  • Decouplers to permit exercising the switch opera tors without affecting the position of the switches
  • 200-ampere hookstick-operated S&C Power Fuses with Uni-Rupter® Interrupters for single-pole live switching of single-phase or three-phase load circuits (These models offer a choice of S&C Type SML-20 and SML-4Z Power Fuses or Fault Fiter® Electronic Power Fuses. Fault Fiter Electronic Power Fuse mountings also accommodate a variety of singlebarrel current-limiting fuses as listed in Table 14 on page 16.)

The stored-energy switch-operator-driven Mini-Rupter Switches on the source circuits provide highspeed source transfer for primary-selective systems. The transfer is achieved in 10 cycles, plus any intentional time delay for coordination.
The stored-energy operators are motor-charged with automatic solenoid Trip Open and Trip Closed operation. Auto matic tripping of the operators is initiated by the Micro-AT Source-Transfer Control, which uses an advanced electronic microprocessor to perform control operations in accordance with settings programmed into the device at the factory and in the field.
The stored-energy operators and source-transfer control are isolated from medium voltage in a grounded, steel-enclosed, low-voltage compartment that has fully gasketed door open ings. S&C Voltage Sensors—three for each source—pro vide three-phase sensing, control power, and supply power for motor charging and tripping.
Enclosures meet the requirements of ANSI C57.12.28 (enclosure integrity). They are of free-standing, self-supporting construction, not for bolting directly to transformers, with provisions for cable entrance and exit through the bottom. Access to medium-voltage
and low-voltage compartments is controlled by the Penta-Latch® Mechanism. The Penta-Latch Mechanism provides automatic door latching and permits padlocking only when the door is securely latched. The door can be opened only with a pentahead socket wrench or tool.
The enclosure roof is undercoated with an insulating “no-drip” compound. A resilient closed-cell gasket on the enclosure bottom flange protects the finish from being scratched during installation and isolates it from the alka linity of a concrete foundation. S&C Pad-Mounted Gear is protected from corrosion by S&C’s olive green Ultradur® II Outdoor Finish.
A dual-purpose front barrier of fiberglass-reinforced polyester is provided for each switch and fuse. Where the National Electric Safety Code (ANSI Standard C2) applies, these barriers meet the requirements of Section 381G. When the switch or fuse is in the Open position, this barrier can be inserted into the open gap to guard against inadvertent contact with live parts. Interphase and end-barriers of the same material are provided with each switch and each set of fuses where required to achieve published BIL ratings. Additional barriers of fiberglass-reinforced polyester separate front and rear compartments and isolate the tie bus. Full-length steel barriers separate adjoining compartments.
These PMH models are provided with a Grappler™ Handling Tool (S&C fuse- handling fitting), an instruction manual holder on the inside of the control- compartment door, and storage racks in the fuse-compartment doors for spare S&C Fuse Units or Refill Units and for the Grappler tool (storage for Fault Fiter Electronic Power Fuses or current-limiting fuses cannot be provided in these racks). Terminal pads can accommodate a variety of cable-terminating devices for cable sizes through 1000 kc mil for switch terminals, 4/0 maximum for fuse terminals. Each switch and fuse terminal is provided with a ground stud as is each ground pad.
The cable-terminating devices must be equipped either with an offset spade- type compression terminal for bolting directly to the terminal pad or with a rod-type compres sion terminal for attachment to a connector of the type shown in Table 19 on page 18. For applications where additional height is desired for increased elevation of ungrounded parts above the mounting pad, and to facilitate cable pull ing and makeup of cable-terminating devices, particularly where no cable pit is used, base spacers are available as listed in Table 4 on page 7.
While the interior of S&C Pad-Mounted Gear is pro tected from direct exposure to the elements, it is inher ently an outdoor environment requiring selection and application of cable-terminating devices accordingly. Terminations must incorporate adequate leakage distance between the exposed conductor and the stress-relief cone across a surface of nontracking material (or a surface ren dered nontracking by properly taping with a suitable material).
Furthermore, to maintain the rated BIL, the fol lowing minimum clearances are required: 6 inches (152 mm) at 14.4 kV and 71/2 inches (191 mm) at 25 kV from energized parts to electri cal ground; 1 inch (25 mm) at 14.4 kV and 21/4 inches (57 mm) at 25 kV from energized parts to fiberglass-reinforced polyester barriers; 1/2-inch (13 mm) at 14.4 kV and 11/4 inches (32 mm) at 25 kV from terminator skirts to fiberglass-reinforced polyester barriers.
EXCLUSIONS: Three-phase units listed in Table 3 on page 6 do not include the items listed in Table 4 on pages 7 through 9, nor do they include the connector, fuse components, switch blades, or accessories listed in Table 5, Table 6, and Table 7 on page 10, Table 15 and Table 16 on page 17, and Table 19 on page 18.
SPECIFICATION DEVIATIONS: Features or modifications other than those listed in Table 4 on pages 7 through 9 cannot be accommodated. Specifically, the following modifications or additions are not available except in custom- design gear or other standard models of S&C gear:

  • Relocation of components (switches, fuses, stored- energy operators, and source-transfer control)
  • Inclusion in fuse compartments of surge arresters or porcelain cable-terminating devices
  • Separable insulated connectors (either 200 or 600 ampere)
  • Intermediate- or station-class surge arresters

Certain minor departures from the optional features can be accommodated. For example, the user may want copper bus instead of aluminum bus. Such deviations can be accommodated by a “minor modification.” Contact the nearest S&C Sales Office for availability.
APPLICATION NOTES: S&C Voltage Sensors, which provide power for Source- Transfer PMH models, are con stant-current-output devices. For adequate power to be available, these models must be applied at system lineto-line voltages ranging from 11.43 kV through 17.0 kV for 14.4-kV models and from 20.44 kV through 29 kV for 25-kV models. For lower system voltages, contact the nearest S&C Sales Office.
For application information as well as a guide to the selection of appropriate ampere ratings and speeds of S&C SML Power Fuses and types and TCC curve para meters of control modules for Fault Fiter Electronic Power Fuses, contact the nearest S&C Sales Office.

Switching with Uni-Rupter Interrupters
Source-Transfer PMH Pad-Mounted Gear features fuses with Uni-Rupter Interrupters for single-pole live switching of single-phase or three-phase load circuits on distribution systems rated 14.4 kV or 25 kV.
Complete ratings and capabilities of S&C Power Fuses with Uni-Rupter Interrupters as applied in SourceTransfer PMH Pad-Mounted Gear are shown in Table 1. Uni-Rupter Interrupters are also capable of carrying and interrupting load currents up to and including the emergency-peak load capabilities of the associated SML power fuses.
In addition to the load-dropping capabilities shown, Uni-Rupter Interrupters are capable of interrupting transformer magnetizing currents associated with the applicable loads, as well as line-charg ing and cablecharging currents typical for distribution systems of these voltage ratings. The duty-cycle fault-clos ing capabilities shown for S&C Power Fuses with Uni-Rupter Interrupters represent the fault-closing capabilities of the fuse with a Uni- Rupter Interrupter when the fuse is closed with a purposeful thrust without hesitation. Following the specified number of such closings (two or three), Uni-Rupter Interrupters will remain operable and able to carry and interrupt rated current.
A Note on Single-Pole Switching
In single-pole switching of ungrounded-primary three-phase transformers or banks (or single-phase transform ers connected line to line), circuit connections or parame ters may, in some cases, produce excessive overvoltages. In particular, for the following applications above 22 kV, single-pole switching by any means— including a Uni-Rupter Interrupter—should be performed only under the conditions stated in italics:

  • Switching unloaded or lightly loaded delta-connected or ungrounded-primary wye-wye connected three-phase transformers or banks (or line-to-line connected single-phase transformers), rated 150 kVA or less three-phase, or 50 kVA or less single-phase— or of any kVA rating when combined with unloaded cables or lines—where maximum system operating voltage exceeds 22 kV (Single-pole switching should be performed only if each phase is carrying 5% load or more, or if the transformer or bank is temporarily grounded at the primary neutral during switching.)
  • Switching loaded or unloaded ungrounded-primary wye-delta connected three-phase transformers or banks—alone or combined with unloaded cables or lines—where maximum system operating voltage exceeds 22 kV (Single-pole switching should be per formed only if each phase is carrying 5% load or more and if the lighting-load phase is always switched open first (or switched closed last); or if the trans former or bank is temporarily grounded at the pri mary neutral during switching.)

● Three-time duty-cycle fault-closing capability.
■ Two-time duty-cycle fault-closing capability.
▲ Applicable to solidly ground-neutral systems only, with fuses connected by single-conductor,concentric-neutral type cable to a transformer or transformers. Rating is 9,400 amperes, RMS symmetrical for all other applications.

Recommended Voltage Ratings of CurrentLimiting Fuses for Use in S &C Pad- Mounted Gear
In general, current-limiting fuses should have a maximum voltage rating equal to, but not greater than, 140% of the system line-to-line voltage because for most applications, the fuses can be exposed to full system line-to-line voltage in clearing faults. Although there may be economic or space-saving incentives for using current-limiting fuses with voltage ratings “appropriate for system line-to-ground voltage” (i.e., fuses with a voltage rating lower than line-to-line voltage but greater than or equal to maxi mum system line- to-ground voltage), S&C recom mends such use only in the following applications:

  • Protection of single-phase transformers serving single-phase loads
  • Protection of three-phase lateral circuits fed by single-conductor shielded cable (provided each transformer on that lateral is individually fused so the current-limiting fuse serving the lateral will not be required to clear secondary faults)
  • Protection of single-phase lateral circuits fed by single-conductor shielded cable where the load is line-to-ground connected

Switching with Mini-Rupter Switches
Source-Transfer PMH Pad-Mounted Gear features Mini-Rupter Switches for three- pole live switching of three-phase circuits.
Complete ratings for Mini-Rupter Switches as applied in Source-Transfer PMH Pad-Mounted Gear are shown in Table 2. In addition to the load-dropping ratings shown, Mini-Rupter Switches are capable of interrupting transformer magnetizing currents associated with the applicable loads, as well as line- charging and cablecharging currents typical for distribution systems of these voltage ratings.
For applications on systems rated higher than 7.2 kV and involving load current with high harmonic content (such as rectifier load currents), refer to the nearest S&C Sales Office. The two-time duty-cycle fault-closing ratings shown for Mini-Rupter Switches define the ability to close the Mini-Rupter Switch twice against a three-phase fault with asym metrical current in at least one phase equal to the rated value, with the switch remaining operable and able to carry and interrupt rated current.
