WARNINGPOWER CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE EQUIPPED WITH HIGH SPEED, HIGH ENERGY OPERATING MECHANISMS. THE BREAKERS AND THEIR ENCLOSURES ARE SIGNED WITH SEVERAL BUILT-IN INTERLOCKS AND SAFETY FEATURES INTENDED TO PROVIDE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATING SEQUENCES. TO PROVIDE MAXIMUM PROTECTION FOR PERSONNEL ASSOCIATED WITH THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF THESE BREAKERS, THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES MUST BE FOLLOWED. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PRACTICES MAY RESULT IN DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

Safety Precautions

• Only qualified persons, as defined in the National Electric Code, who are familiar with the installation and maintenance of power circuit breakers and their associated switchgear assemblies should perform any work associated with these breakers .

• Completely read and understand all instructions before attempting any installation, operation, maintenance, or modification of these breakers .

• Always turn off and lock out the power source feeding the breaker prior to attempting any installation, maintenance, or modi-fication of the breaker . Do not use the circuit breaker as the sole means for isolating a high voltage circuit . Follow all lockout and tagging rules of the National Electric Code and all other applicable codes, regulations, and work rules .

• Do not work on a closed breaker or a breaker with the closing springs charged . Trip (open) the breaker and be sure the stored energy springs are discharged before performing any work . The breaker may trip open or the charging springs may discharge, causing crushing or cutting injuries .

• For drawout breakers, trip (open), and then remove the breaker to a well-lit work area before beginning work .

• Do not perform any maintenance: including breaker charging, clos-ing, tripping, or any other function which could cause significant movement of the breaker while it is on the extension rails . Doing so may cause the breaker to slip from the rails and fall, potentially causing severe personal injury to those in the vicinity .

• Do not leave the breaker in an intermediate position in the switch-gear cell . Always leave it in the connected, disconnected, or (optional) test position . Failure to do so could lead to improper positioning of the breaker and flashover, causing death, serious personal injury, and / or property damage .

• Do not defeat any safety interlock . Such interlocks are intended to protect personnel and equipment from damage due to flash-over and exposed contacts . Defeating an interlock could lead to death, severe personal injury, and / or property damage

STEP 10: TESTING THE BREAKER

A. Measure the force necessary to trip the Breakerat where the Trip Finger impacts the DTAAdjusting Disk. The force necessary to trip theBreaker MUST NOT EXCEED 3 lbs.

B. The Retrofit must be tested using primaryinjection. Refer to Section 8 of the Instructionsfor the Application of Digitrip RMS Retrofit Kitson Power Circuit Breakers (Publication AD 33-855), supplied with the Retrofit Kit, for detailedtesting procedures and specifications. For testinformation specific to the Trip Unit, refer to theIL publication supplied with the Retrofit Kit (seethe Pick List for the IL number).

C. While Section 8 of the Instructions for theApplication of Digitrip RMS Retrofit Kits onPower Circuit Breakers provides the informa-tion necessary for testing the Breaker, pleasekeep the following notes in mind when review-ing other sections of the publication.

CAUTION

WHEN ALL TESTING IS COMPLETE, THE TRIPUNIT MUST BE RESET. FAILURE TO DO SOMAY CAUSE THE BATTERY IN THE RATINGPLUG TO RUN DOWN.

NOTES:

1. For All Kits Other Than 510 Basic: If testingthe Breaker with Short Delay or GroundFault functions, be sure to either plug in theCell Harness Assembly or use the ZoneInterlock Shorting Plug. Failure to do somay result in shorter than expected triptimes.

2. For 810 and 910 Kits Only: Without anypower applied to the system (neither the 120volt power supply nor the Aux. Power Mod-ule connected), plug the External Harnessinto the Cell Harness and check the imped-ance between COM 1 and COM 2. Theimpedance should be between one (1) andthree (3) ohms. If the impedance is notwithin this range, trace the wiring and exam-ine each connection to assure its integrity.

Confirm that the PowerNet communicationwiring is correct by following the proceduresdetailed in Section 7.4 of the Instructions forthe Application of Digitrip RMS Retrofit Kitson Power Circuit Breakers. Note that for810 and 910 Kits, the impedance betweenCOM 1 and COM 2 should be between one(1) and three (3) ohms.

When testing is complete, disconnect theExternal Harness from the Cell Harness.Final External Harness connection will beperformed later in the Retrofit Process.

STEP 11: MOUNTING THE CELL HARNESS

A. The Cell Harness is to be mounted in theBreaker Cell. The connector end is to bemounted on the right side of the Cell, in alocation suitable for connection with the Exter-nal Harness. The Terminal Blocks can bemounted anywhere space is available in theCell as long as connection to the ExternalHarness can be made.

B. Route the Cell Harness wiring to keep it awayfrom any moving parts within the Cell Housing.

STEP 12: INSTALLING THE RETROFITTEDBREAKER IN THE CELL

WARNING

DO NOT LEAVE THE BREAKER IN AN INTER-MEDIATE POSITION IN THE SWITCHGEARCELL. ALWAYS LEAVE IT IN THE CONNECTED,DISCONNECTED, OR (OPTIONAL) TEST POSI-TION. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD LEAD TOIMPROPER POSITIONING OF THE BREAKERAND FLASHOVER, CAUSING DEATH, SERIOUSPERSONAL INJURY, AND / OR PROPERTYDAMAGE.

NOTE: It is the responsibility of the Retrofitter toinsure proper Breaker / Cell fit. Whenracking the Breaker into the Connectedposition, the Retrofitter MUST FOLLOWBOTH the manufacturer’s instructions andthe customer’s safety standards andprocedures for racking a Breaker into theConnected position.

A. With the Breaker in the Open position and thesprings discharged, slowly rack the Breakerinto the Connected position, making sure thereis no interference or binding. The Breakershould rack smoothly and without mechanicalinterference between any Breaker and Cellparts. The Retrofitter will feel some resistancewhen the primary fingers connect onto thestabs of the Cell. This is normal.

However, if any unusual resistance is detectedthat could be abnormal interference betweenthe Breaker and Cell parts, stop immediatelyand move the Breaker out of the Connectedposition. Examine what is causing the interfer-ence and correct the situation.
