    Designed for Simplicity
    Engineered for Performance
    THE CLEAVELAND/PRICE ADVANTAGE
    In Design
    Total non-cast construction results in superior
    dependability of parts.
    Line contacts work with electromagnetic forces dur-
    ing short circuit resulting in superior performance.
    High-pressure line contacts at the hinge and jaw
    establish effective continuous current transfer while
    reducing operating force and extending contact life.
    True wiping action at the break-jaw keeps contacts
    clean for years of reliable service.
    Blade guide on the break-jaw allows closing of the
    switch despite lateral push on the blade.
    Location of the contact springs in relation to the
    break-jaw results in increased spring force during
    short circuit conditions.
    Blade pryout action facilitates easy ice breaking.
    Location of the blade latch in relation to the catch
    results in increased latch engagement force during
    short circuit and when wind and ice loads increase
    conductor pull.
    In Material
    Hard-drawn, high conductivity copper produces
    stronger, more conductive live components than
    parts made of cast materials.
    Silver-plated contacts on both the stationary and
    moving parts give efficient current transfer for the
    life of the switch.
    Hard-drawn copper hookeye will not crack or
    break, eliminating the need to stock hookeyes and
    reducing costly downtime.
    Stainless steel contact springs and latch spring are
    made from highly corrosion resistant type 316
    stainless steel.
    Heavy-duty latch spring delivers substantial return
    force for the life of the switch.
    The steel base is hot-dip galvanized after
    fabrication.
    Cleaveland/Price's hookstick operated
    bypass and transfer switches are
    based upon the field proven LCO-C
    switch. The switches feature many
    advantages over other designs and
    benefit from the extensive contact
    design testing that has been per-
    formed on the LCO-C
    The graphs above show the contact resistance of a traditionally designed contact
    compared to the improved Cleaveland/Price design during the contamination test.*

    Switch Type: RBO-C
    Substation Class
    Bypass Switch
    Ratings: 7.2 kV - 34.5 kV
    600 A. - 2000 A.
    Switch Type: RBI
    Substation Class
    Bypass Switch
    Ratings: 7.2 kV - 34.5 kV
    600 A. - 2000 A.
    The RBI is a non-sequencing type regulator bypass switch for substation
    applications.
    The RBI uses the two outer blades to isolate the regulator and the center
    blade provides the bypass function. The switch can be supplied with an optional
    quick break whip for interrupting magnetizing current.
    A variation of the RBI is the V configuration RBI-V.
    The RBI-V switch is ideal for low profile structures.
    The switch has a flat galvanized steel base plate
    designed to attach to a structural member. The base
    can be bolted directly to the structure or clamped
    to a tubular structural beam when supplied with
    clamping hardware.

    with quick break whips
    The RBO-C is a non-sequencing bypass switch that can be used as a regu-
    lator bypass switch or recloser bypass switch if line protection is not required.
    The RBO-C uses two parallel blades to isolate the regulator or recloser and
    the perpendicular blade provides the bypass function. The full open gap avail-
    able from the bypass and isolating blades enables safe downstream mainte-
    nance when all three blades are open. The switch can be supplied with an
    optional quick break whip for interrupting magnetizing current.
    The switch may be mounted in a vertical or underhung position. When
    mounted vertically, the bypass blade is angled away from the mounting
    surface to provide better access for hotstick operation. In substation applica-
    tions, the switch is provided with 3 b.c. insulators.
    The RBO-C is also available for distribution applications with 2
    1
    /4 b.c.
    insulators and double crossarm mounting hardware. The pole units can be set
    up for right hand, left hand, or pole mounting (with pole mounting bracket).
