Replacement Circuit Breaker
3.3 STORAGE
If the circuit breaker is to be placed in storage, maximum protection
can be obtained by keeping it in the original shipping crate. Before
placing it in storage, checks should be made to make sure that the
breaker is free from shipping damage and is in satisfactory operating
condition.
The breaker is shipped with its contacts open and closing springs
discharged. The indicators on the front panel should confirm this.
Insert the end of the maintenance tool into the manual charge
socket opening and charge the closing springs by moving the
handle up and down the full range of motion. When charging is
complete the ratchet will no longer advance and the spring charged /
discharged indicator displays “charged”. (Figure Set 3.3). Remove the
maintenance tool. Push the “manual close” button. The breaker will
close as shown by the breaker contacts “closed” indicator. Push the
“manual trip” button. The breaker will trip as shown by the breaker
contacts “open” indicator. After completing this initial check, leave
the closing springs “discharged” and breaker contacts “open”.
Outdoor storage is NOT recommended. If unavoidable, the outdoor
location must be well drained and a temporary shelter from sun,
rain, snow, corrosive fumes, dust, dirt, falling objects, excessive
moisture, etc. must be provided. Containers should be arranged
to permit free circulation of air on all sides and temporary heaters
should be used to minimize condensation. Moisture can cause
rusting of metal parts and deterioration of high voltage insulation.
A heat level of approximately 400 watts for each 100 cubic feet of
volume is recommended with the heaters distributed uniformly
throughout the structure near the floor.
Indoor storage should be in a building with sufficient heat and
circulation to prevent condensation. If the building is not heated, the
same general rule for heat as for outdoor storage should be applied.
