ENExample 14 Crompton

The document describes challenges in placing a displacement transducer on a circuit breaker mechanism during testing in Peru. Due to space limitations and the remote location, technicians attached the transducer to the breaker using a curved rod and cable ties. This improvised setup effectively measured the breaker's motion and produced useful test results.

EXAMPLE 14 : CROMPTON GREAVES BREAKER (tests performed in Hidrandina,


Peru)

This apparently simple circuit breaker is somewhat challenging when it comes to placing the
displacement transducer.

The motion of this mechanism is vertical. The difficult task is to secure the KIT-ZLB linear kit
to the moving part of the breaker (shown in red in the photo below), though space seems to be
very limited.

The other challenge is that one is located in the middle of the Peruvian desert without a
machine shop in the area that can fabricate a specific part.

In these peculiar conditions, one of the technicians present thought of a temporary solution, as
shown below.

Even if this setup seems rudimentary, it has proven quite effective, as shown in the results
presented on the next page.

The solution consists of mounting the kit upside -down and to link the transducer to the breaker
with a curved rod, attached to the breaker with cable ties (tie-wraps).

Based on this setup, a special part can be fabricated later if the customer wishes, when they
have returned to their offices.

Also, to remember this setup, the customer has placed this photo directly in this breaker's test
plan in the CBA Win software.
