Engineered for Performance
THE CLEAVELAND/PRICE APPROACH
Cleaveland/Price has a very basic approach to design . . . keep it simple. It is an approach that is employed from materi-
al selection to mechanical design.
The Cleaveland/Price V2-CA disconnect switch current carrying parts are manufactured from corrosion resistant high
strength, high conductivity aluminum. All switches are of non-cast design for superior dependability of parts. Switch
performance is not troubled by flaws that could occur in the casting process.
Contacts are designed to take advantage of electromagnetic forces by using a reverse loop configuration at both the
hinge and jaw of the switch. Current transfer points are kept to a minimum.
PROBLEM: When the switch blade on a
conventional switch rotates in the break-
jaw to the final blade position, it does not
consistently stop at the point of optimum
contact pressure. The resulting inade-
quate contact pressure may cause
contact pitting and burning.
Many switches use a
stop on the rotating insu-
lator to try to set proper blade
position. This type of stop is too CUTAWAY VIEW

remote from the blade to accurately
control the blade motion because of
the cumulative play in the linkage joints.
Variation in the speed of the operator can
actually affect the amount of blade
turnover. ROTATION IN
BREAK-JAW IS
CONTROLLED
SOLUTION: On the BY THE STOP
Cleaveland/Price V2-CA, the blade HINGE PIN
stop is on the blade itself instead of
an intermediate linkage point (the rotating insulator). The V2-CA stop location assures that blade rotation in the break-jaw will
accurately and consistently stop at the point of maximum contact pressure.
The cutaway view shows how the unique Cleaveland/Price turnover stop allows the blade to rotate until the slot in the blade
engages with the hinge pin. This sets the proper turnover angle.
The stop angle is factory-machined for built-in accuracy. No matter how fast or slow the blade moves, it doesn’t stop moving
until it has fully turned over.

Exclusive Cleaveland / Price V2-CA Features
The Cleaveland/Price V2-CA is an advanced design verti-
cal break switch with features of genuine value to the cus- FEATURE FOR

complete contact pressure to prevent contact burning.
2. Insulating journal bearing prevents current flow through
the live operating linkage.
3. Floating break-jaw contacts allow blade and break-jaw
fingers to move together under short circuit and seismic
duty to outperform conventional contact systems.
UNIQUE BREAK-JAW DESIGN
Short circuit tests prove that the V2-CA break-jaw is
superior to conventional break-jaws. On the V2-CA,
phase-to-phase electromagnetic forces that pull the blade
side-to-side do not decrease the contact pressure since the
fingers of the jaw are joined together to create a floating
spring system that moves with the blade. Maximum contact
pressure is maintained on all contact surfaces during short
circuit and seismic events.
ADVANCED V2-CA CONVENTIONAL
BREAK-JAW maintains BREAK-JAW loses contact

as a unit under short
circuit forces.
ANSI standards require that a switch pass the rated short
circuit test only once. Standards also allow live parts to be
changed for each test. The V2-CA contact system gives
greater confidence in short circuit performance as
demonstrated by 12 consecutive test shots on a 2000 PIVOTING HINGE
amperes switch using the same set of live parts.
During installation, the blade may be misaligned
with the break-jaw, requiring adjustment of the insula-
tors. However, it is often easier to pivot the blade to
attain alignment with the jaw contact. This is particularly
true when bus and ground blades have been installed at
the jaw terminal and the blades are not perfectly adjust-
ed. By loosening the bolts that attach the hinge and jaw
to the stationary insulators and closing the switch, the
blade and jaw automatically seat themselves in the
proper alignment. Retighten the bolts and the adjust-
ment is complete without having to realign the ground
switch or bus.
