1.2 Definitions Closing Time The closing time is the time period from the moment the close command is applied to the CM to the time when all ISM poles make contact. Opening Time The opening time is the time period from the moment the trip command is applied to the CM to the time when all ISM poles are separated. Break Time The break time is the time period from the moment the trip command is applied to the CM to the time when the arcs in all phases are extinguished. 1.3 Disclaimers Tavrida Electric will not accept any claims for damages caused by improper transport, storage as well as unpacking....
