Phase Testing - Westinghouse VCP-W
Phase Testing - Westinghouse VCP-W
(OP)
Hi All,
I am looking for advice on phase testing between two Westinghouse VCP-W's. We want to energize the phases between two buses and do a hot stick test to confirm that we do not have any of our phase cables crossed with another phase. The problem is how do I keep the shutters opened on the Westinghouse so the technicians can get their hotsticks inside to perform the test. Any help will be greatly appreciated!

On each side of the cell in the bottom is the ramp mechanism the opens the shutter as the breaker moves into the cell, I usually carefully lift the shutter and insert the door stops in the mechanism to hold the shutters open, using the proper PPE and safety precautions.
Hope that helps, MikeL.
