Instructions for Low Voltage Power

Circuit Breakers Types DS and DSL

EaToN CorPoraTIoN www.eaton.com

Factory settings are adjustments which should only be 
necessary when parts are reassembled after disman-
tling. These are described in Sections 12.2.1 and 12.2.2.
Maintenance adjustments should be made as indicated 
on maintenance inspections and are described in Section 
12.2.3.

12.2.1 Trip Latch Overlap
Figure 23a shows a composite view of the shunt trip lever 
and the trip latch, as described in Section 5.1.6. The angu-
lar position of the trip shaft latch surface is adjustable in 
relation to the trip latch surface by means of a screw 
located in the top of the actuator frame. (Figure 23b).
Proper adjustment procedure is as follows.
Close the breaker.
Slowly rotate adjusting screw clockwise until the breaker 
trips. This is “no overlap” position.
Rotate adjusting screw 4 turns in a counterclockwise 
direction.

12.2.2 Breaker Open Position Stop (DS-632 Only)
Proper Adjustment Procedure is as follows.
Refer to Figure 88.
With the breaker open, loosen the open position stop bolt 
nuts so that the eccentric cylinders can be turned by 
hand but will stay put.
Rotate the cylinders to obtain a clearance of approxi-
mately .005 in. between the cylinders and the stop levers. 
Tighten nuts on bolts.

12.2.3 Moving Contact Adjustment
The contact assemblies are adjustable for the amount of 
engagement only. The lead of the arcing contacts over 
the main contacts is fixed. The correct engagement of the 
contacts is achieved when the vertical faces of the main 
fixed contacts and the fixed contact cage are parallel.
For the DS-206 this is obtained by the adjusting nuts 
located on the insulating link stud above and below the 
pivot block. Refer to Figures 37 and 38. These nuts are 
self-locking, and must be tight when the adjustment is 
complete.
The moving pole of the DS-416/420 is adjusted by rotat-
ing the insulating link after the lock nut has been loos-
ened (Refer to Figure 39). Tighten the locknut securely 
after the adjustment has been completed.

The DS-632 and DS-840 have two adjusting studs on 
each pole, and both must be moved together to retain the 
parallelism (refer to Figures 43 and 45). A spring type 
locking clip holds the adjustment for DS-632. For DS-840 
locking nuts similar to DS-416/420 hold the adjustments.
Check contact system as described in Section 12.1.2.

Fig. 90 Lubrication Points on Left Side of Mechanism.

12.2.4 Levering Mechanism
The complete levering mechanism is shown in detail in 
Figure 89. If the traveling stop nut on the rear of the worm 
shaft has been removed, it must be replaced in the exact 
position with respect to the worm gear position for proper 
interlock operation. This is achieved when the threaded 
worm shaft bottoms in the stop nut and the interlock cam 
is in the connected position shown in Figure 29a. The 
shutter interlock pin will then drop to its normal position 
beneath the lobe of the cam. The retaining clamp ring 
also operates the position indicator and may be slipped in 
its groove in the stop nut. The stop nut is prevented from 
rotating by having a “flat” against the bottom of the 
breaker horizontal top pan.
When reassembling, care must be exercised to insure 
that the two guide spacers are located in the slots of the
