Overview

The nVent HOFFMAN WAMT Operator Adapter Universal Cutout is a steel component designed for use with nVent HOFFMAN Type 4 and 12 disconnect enclosures featuring a universal flange cutout. This adapter plate is essential for installing disconnect switches and circuit breakers in specific HOFFMAN enclosure models, including Bulletin A21, A28, A34, A35, and A4L3D, when equipped with a universal cutout. Each operator adapter includes the necessary adapter plate and additional components required to establish interlocking between the enclosure's master door and the disconnect operating mechanism. Installation instructions are provided with every operator adapter. It is critical to select the correct operator adapter, as each brand and type of disconnect switch or circuit breaker necessitates a unique adapter. For disconnect switches rated 400A or greater, and circuit breakers rated 600A or greater, the large handle operator adapter is required. Conversely, for disconnect switches rated 200A or less, and circuit breakers rated 400A or less, the small handle operator adapter is appropriate. Ensure proper selection of both the operator adapter and the enclosure to match your chosen disconnect device for optimal functionality and safety. SKU: WAMT. Manufacturer: nVent.

How to Install the WAMT Operator Adapter

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the WAMT Operator Adapter for Westinghouse Type AMT mechanisms in electrical enclosures.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Drill, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

Mounting screws, Plate gasket, Nylon washers, Shoulder collar, Flat washers, Lockwashers, Hex nuts, Interlock blade

  1. Install the adapter plate

    Secure the adapter plate and plate gasket inside the enclosure behind the rectangular opening using four screws and four nylon washers.

  2. Assemble the operating handle

    Attach the Westinghouse 'AMTOP' operating handle to the mounting plate installed in step 1, omitting the cap screw and lockwasher for the bottom hole.

  3. Install the slide arm

    Place the slide arm over the 'AMTOP' operating handle, insert the shoulder collar through the oval slot, and secure it with a long cap screw and lockwasher.

  4. Connect the slide arm to the lock release mechanism

    Attach the bottom of the slide arm to the offset arm of the lock release mechanism using flat washers, lockwashers, and hex nuts, but do not tighten yet.

  5. Adjust the safety lock release mechanism

    Check and adjust the roller bracket and the length of the slide arm assembly to ensure the safety lock releases just before the master door is fully latched.

  6. Install the cover interlock blade

    Attach the cover interlock blade to the door using screws and lockwashers, ensuring it prevents door opening when the 'AMTOP' handle is in the 'ON' position.

  7. Drill and tap holes for disconnect

    Drill and tap the necessary holes in the panel for the disconnect switch as per Westinghouse instructions.

  8. Install the panel

    Securely install the panel back into the enclosure.
