Lubrication for Federal Pioneer SACE Breakers

Lubrication for Federal Pioneer SACE Breakers

(OP)
Hello everyone,

I am about to run a full maintenance on our SACE breakers and was wondering what the best lubricant is out there to be used for this purpose. I read online that synthetic grease are highly effective since they can withstand more variation in temperature and are durable.

The product manual recommends using MU-EP1 AGIP grease, but I would like to see if there is something better out there you guys might have been using in your breakers. These are Federal Pioneer SACE Breakers rated for 2000A and 12.47 KV.

Any tips or advice would be helpful. p.s. I have done some research about this, it's sometime hard to find products for old breakers.

Thanks

Federal Pioneer SACE breakers? Is this a retrofill breaker for a Federal Pioneer (DST2 maybe?) that uses a SACE mech?

RE: Lubrication for Federal Pioneer SACE Breakers

Those silly Itallians, these are retrofills for the FPE MOP line I believe but uses a different mech than the FPE version. I would think Becon EP-1 would be a good alternative.
