The Type C Loadbreak dropout (Cutout) is available for application on
15, 25 and 35 kV distribution systems. The addition of the
arc chute expands the flexibility of the Chance protective
devices family by providing loadbreak capability for cutouts
and disconnect solid blade units. The loadbreak cutout pro
vides short circuit protection to utility lines with the added
feature of a loadbreaking function.
The 15kV Type C loadbreak cutout has a maximum design
voltage rating of 15kV. There are no voltage restrictions on
applicaton to grounded wye, ungrounded wye, or delta sys
tems having maximum operating voltages (line to line) equal
to or less than the cutout maximum design voltage rating.
The 15/27 and 20/34.5 kV Type C loadbreak cutouts have
maximum design slant voltage ratings. These cutouts are
to be used on systems which have phase-to-ground voltages
no greater than the value listed to the left of the slant (/)
and which have phase-to-phase voltages no greater than the
value listed to the right of the slant.
