Lugs shall be rated for use with 90° C wire insulation (sized according to the 75° C temperature rating in the NEC). e. All switches shall have switch blades which are fully visible in the Open (off) position when the fuse access door is open. Bolted pressure contacts shall be made by providing an additional pressure or clamping action at both ends of the switch blade when the blades are fully closed. Switches having butt-type contacts are not acceptable. f. Manual operated switches shall have quick-make, quick-break front operating mechanisms. g. [Electrically Operated Switch] 1) Electric switches shall have a manual-charging, electric trip open, quick-make, quick-break, front-operated mechanism with manual override. h. Provisions for locking the switch in the Open (off) position with at least three padlocks shall be provided. Switches shall have dual fuse door interlock designed to prevent the fuse access door from being opened when the switch is Closed (on) and prevents the switch being turned ON while the fuse access door is open. A means of bypassing the interlock by authorized personnel shall be provided to allow the switch to be inspected in the Closed position. An external mechanical flag shall be provided to identify whether the switch is either Open or Closed. i. Accessories shall be supplied as follows: 1) [Capacitor trip power supply] 2) [Blown main fuse protection] 3) [Blown main fuse indication] 4) [Phase failure relay with capacitor trip power supply] 5) [Key interlock] 6) [Equipment ground fault protection] (a) Provide a zero sequence type ground fault system including current sensor and appropriate relaying equipment. The current sensor shall enclose all phase (and neutral, if present) conductors to be monitored. The current sensor frame shall be so constructed that one leg can be opened to allow the removal of the sensor without disturbing the cables or requiring drop-links in the bussing. A test winding shall be provided to simulate the flow of ground fault current through the current sensor for testing. (b) The ground fault relay shall be of solid state construction and have adjustable pick-up for ground fault currents from 100 amperes to 1200 amperes. (c) Relays shall have ground fault zone selective interlocking to provide maximum coordination selectivity. Settings for individual relays shall be [as shown on the plans] [ amperes]. (d) Direct adjustable time delay shall be provided by the ground fault relay circuitry and shall be nominally [.1 second] [.2 second] [.3 second] [.5 second]. The time delay shall be permanently calibrated to preclude tampering after installation. (e) Ground fault system to meet the on-site testing requirements of NEC article 230-95(c).
