MAINTENANCE - First Turn Off Power

To Inspect Contacts

Refer to Figure 7. Loosen the two arc box assembly screws (7) 

located immediately above and below the nameplate and remove 

the arc box (8). Contacts (5) are visible. Retighten the screws per 

Table VII.

To Replace Contacts

After removing the arc box and with replacement contacts at 

hand, compress the overtravel spring (12) and remove the moving 

contact (5) from the crossbar (6). Remove the retaining screws 

(11) and lift out the stationary contact carriers (14).

To replace contacts, reverse the above procedure making sure 

that stationary contacts are secure, (see Table VII) moving 

contacts are free to move overtravel springs are seated and the 

crossbar moves freely when the arc box is in position.

The silver cadmium oxide contact buttons need 

NO

 dressing or 

lubricant throughout their life.

Important -

 Replace all contacts and springs as a group to avoid 

misalignment.

To Replace The Coil

Refer to Figure 7. Loosen the assembly screws (10) located 

to the immediate left and right of the arc box. Remove connector 

straps to the overload relay. Pull the loosened upper base structure 

(9) forward. 

Pull the coil (1) from the upper base, plug in a new coil, replace the 

upper base structure and check the auxiliary contacts for secureness 

when repositioning the upper base. Tighten the assembly screws 

and the connector straps screws referring to Table VII.

Magnet - Armature Assembly

Self alignment and permanent air gap features of the magnet 

armature make replacement unnecessary. Mating pole face 

surfaces should be kept clean.
