Pioneer Power Systems takes exception to this requirement as it was applicable to air magnetic circuit breakers. Per Cutler -Hammer it is not applicable to vacuum breakers and they do not provide. 3. Paragraph 11.1 calls for CTs with class C400 accuracy. The 4000/5A CTs with C400 bi . ,k accuracy class are doubled in width (6.5') and only one (1) set of CTs can be installed on line V and load side of the breaker. Therefore, to accommodate the requirement of two (2) sets of CTs each for #51 & #87T, Pioneer Power Systems has proposed these CTs with class C200 accuracy. 4. Quality Assurance manual will be mailed separately. 5. Pioneer Power Systems has proposed Cutler -Hammer make breakers, if GE make breakers are acceptable, please deduct $8,000.00.
