  General Product Description: Typically this equipment is located on both the high voltage, and the low voltage side of large power transformers. The device located on the low voltage side of the transformers in distribution type substations, now are typically located in what is called a Power Distribution Center (PDC). Inside this building are typically smaller, medium-voltage (~15kV) circuit breakers feeding the distribution system. Also contained inside these Power Control Centers are various relays, meters, and other communication equipment allowing for intelligent control of the substation. CP medium voltage circuit breaker is an integrated assembly of drawout vacuum circuit breakers, bus, and control devices coordinated electrically and mechanically for medium voltage circuit protection. The Metal-Clad integrity provides maximum circuit separation and safety. Included are isolated grounded metal components, complete insulation of all conductors insuring that the opening of a door will expose no live parts. It is typically used on circuits involving feeder circuits, transmission lines, distribution lines and motors. A medium voltage device is available in voltage ratings of 2.4 kV through 15kV and in normal interrupting capacities of 250MVA (29kA), 350MVA (41kA), 500MVA (18kA and 33kA), 750MVA (28kA), 1000MVA (37kA), and 1500MVA (63 kA), and for indoor or outdoor applications. Please note that the latest standards from ANSI no longer consider "MVA" as a rating factor and further consider the range factor equal to 1.0. Now breakers are "sized" by their short circuit rating. - Wikipedia
