A new medium voltage switch is installed close coupled to a transformer. The breaker in this switch is of draw-out construction. Part of the assembly that operates the draw out rails is mounted on the side of the switch. Part of this assembly include a 12" long metal spring used to maintain tension on the draw out rail assembly. You can see this spring by looking through open cover of the transformer.
Normally if this was a standalone switch the spring and arm would be covered by a steel plate.
The manufacturer says I should not be concerned about the spring breaks - but I am - sparks are gunna happen!
I'm looking for a Code or Standards that would disallow this spring from being anywhere in the transformer compartment.
