Info Needed on a Westinghouse OCB

(OP)
Hello all!

I'm looking for the interrupting capacity of a Westinghouse BK oil circuit breaker 7500V  600A, circa 1940 !
Built by Canadian Westinghouse in Hamilton Ont.

Thankx
   

RE: Info Needed on a Westinghouse OCB

Try contacting Eaton/Cutler-Hammer.  They are now manufacturing some lines of Westinghouse design MV switchgear.

RE: Info Needed on a Westinghouse OCB

What doe's the nameplate have on it. In some cases the interuption rate is in the type, model, or style #. ie
GE FK-255-500 = 500 MVA Interuption.

RE: Info Needed on a Westinghouse OCB

If it's an outdoor oil breaker, you might want to contact ABB in the US.  They bought the old Westinghouse HV breaker line, I think.

I don't know if they can go that far back, however.  

I don't find any information on it in the reference sources that I have.
