Can anyone tell me where to find interrupt rating data for ITE 5kv HK model breakers?

Recommended for you

From my EasyPower library data, there are three versions of HK breakers at 5 kV:

5-HK-75 (75 MVA)
5-HK-250(250 MVA)
5-HK-350(350 MVA)

If you can let me know what class you have, I can post the detailed ratings.

 
Thanks for the quick response. I've got both 5-HK-250 and 5-HK-350 class breakers.
 
Hope this helps - I am basing this on our analysis software standard library data and I have not verified against any original ITE data, but I believe this data to be correct. Usual disclaimers apply. If anything doesn't look right, let me know.

Test Basis for both is ANSI-Symmetrical current basis.


5-AK-250:

MVA = 250 MVA
Nom kV = 4.16 kV
Max kV = 4.76 kV
K Fact = 1.24
Close & Latch = 58 kA
Interrupting Amps at Max kV = 30.3 kA
Max Interrupting Amps = 51 kA
Interrupting Time = 5 Cycles

5-AK-350:

MVA = 350 MVA
Nom kV = 4.16 kV
Max kV = 4.76 kV
K Fact = 1.2
Close & Latch = 78 kA
Interrupting Amps at Max kV = 42.5 kA
Max Interrupting Amps = 37.5 kA
Interrupting Time = 5 Cycles
