Product descriptions from the supplier
Chance Type M3C Load Break Disconnect Switches are Single Phase Hook Stick operated units ideal for manual switching up to 38kV 150kV BIL. They are Single Insulator "Cutout Style" Mounted making them ideal for riser applications. They are rated either 900A or 600A and offered with NEMA B brackets or D Brackets for cross arm mounting or pole mounting. All M3C disconnects include load break hooks for use with a portable load break tool. These also serve as a blade closing guide. Each switch has silver plated contract areas for smooth current transfer and a positve latching blade mechanism to prevent unwanted opening during surges. Each pull ring has a pry out lever which helps opeing under ice conditions. The Chance M3C units are offered with ESP Enhanced Silicone Polymer insulating material. Each M3C is tested and manufactured in complete compliance with IEEE C37.30.1 Standard. Chance: The Brand and Quality You Can Trust!!
Fully Compliant with ANSI/IEEE C37.30.1
15, 27 & 38kV Voltage Classes
110, 125 and 150kV BIL Insulation Levels
600A & 900A Current Ratings
Uses Chance Type C Polymer Cutout Insulator Assemblies
Uses NEMA B Brackets for Cross Arm mounting
Load Break Option Available
Application
The Loadbreak M3D and M3C provides an effective and efficient way to disconnect loads without the use of a separate
Loadbreak Tool. Line crews can work more quickly and safely with less equipment on hand. With its single pull operation, the
Loadbreak M3D and M3C can safely isolate portions of the distribution system with the same ease as a standard single phase
disconnect.
Interrupter
Same as used on our AR GOAB Switch. Interrupter provides current interruption without external arc or flame. High-strength
polyurethane material for strength, weatherability and UV resistance. Bolted tongue-in-groove mounting ensures positive
alignment.
This is a Load-breaking device, does not operate as a Load-make device.

Why Can't VT Be Shorted & CT Be Opened? ExplainedWe all know that a voltage transformer (VT) must never operate short-circuited, while a current transformer (CT) must never operate open-circuited. Short-circuiting a VT or opening the circuit of a CT will damage the transformer or create hazardous conditions.From a theoretical standpoint, both VTs and CTs are transformers; the difference lies in the parameters they are designed to measure. So why, despite being fundamentally the same type of device, is one prohibited from short-circuit operatioEcho10/22/2025 -
Why Are Voltage Transformers Burning Out? Find the Real CausesIn power circuits, voltage transformers (VTs) are often damaged or burned out. If the root cause is not identified and only the transformer is replaced, the new unit may quickly fail again, disrupting power supply to users. Therefore, the following checks should be performed to determine the cause of VT failure: If the voltage transformer has ruptured and oil residue is found on the silicon steel laminations, the damage was likely caused by ferroresonance. This occurs when unbalanced voltages orFelix Spark10/22/2025 -
Things to Know When Operating Voltage Transformers: De-energizing and Energizing ProceduresQ:What are the Operating Sequence Rules for the Secondary Miniature Circuit Breaker and High-Voltage Power Supply During Voltage Transformer De-energizing and Energizing?A:For busbar voltage transformers, the principle for operating the secondary miniature circuit breaker during de-energizing and energizing is as follows: De-energizing:First, open the secondary miniature circuit breaker, then disconnect the high-voltage power supply of the voltage transformer (VT).

How to Safely Operate & Maintain Current Transformers?I. Permissible Operating Conditions for Current Transformers Rated Output Capacity: Current transformers (CTs) must operate within the rated output capacity specified on their nameplate. Operation beyond this rating reduces accuracy, increases measurement errors, and causes inaccurate meter readings, similar to voltage transformers. Primary Side Current: The primary current may continuously operate up to 1.1 times the rated current. Prolonged overload operation increases measurement errors and mFelix Spark10/22/2025 -
How to Operate & Maintain Voltage Transformers Safely?I. Normal Operation of Voltage Transformers A voltage transformer (VT) may operate long-term at its rated capacity, but under no circumstances should it exceed its maximum capacity. The secondary winding of a VT supplies high-impedance instruments, resulting in a very small secondary current, nearly equal to the magnetizing current. The voltage drops across the leakage impedances of both primary and secondary windings are therefore very small, meaning the VT operates close to no-load under normaEdwiin10/22/2025 -
