Form 5 controls were built in swing-panel and fixed-panel cabinets, and Eaton keeps separate manuals for each. The Form 5 can run reclosers with older Type A CTs, but Eaton notes event recording and monitoring lose accuracy above 5,000 A on those units. Serial number 2999 and below use a different communications accessory manual than later units, which matters when buying spare boards.
