Replacement Circuit Breaker
SECTION 3: RECEIVING, HANDLING, AND
STORAGE
VR-Series
+
circuit breakers are subjected to complete factory
production tests and inspection before being packed. They are
shipped in packages designed to provide maximum protection to the
equipment during shipment and storage and at the same time to
provide convenient handling. Accessories such as the maintenance
tool, code plate, (if applicable) etc. are shipped with the circuit
breaker.
3.1 RECEIVING
Until the circuit breaker is ready to be delivered to the switchgear
site for installation, DO NOT remove it from the shipping crate. If the
circuit breaker is to be placed in storage, maximum protection can
be obtained by keeping it in its crate.
Upon receipt of the equipment, inspect the crates for any signs of
damage or rough handling. Open the crates carefully to avoid any
damage to the contents. Use a nail puller rather than a crow bar
when required.
When opening the crates, be careful that any loose items or
hardware are not discarded with the packing material. Check the
contents of each package against the packing list.
Examine the circuit breaker for any signs of shipping damage
such as broken, missing or loose hardware, damaged or deformed
insulation and other components. If damaged or loss is detected,
file claims immediately with the carrier and notify an Eaton
representative.
Tools and Accessories
Mainttnanct Tool (Stylt# 94C9506G01)e:
This tool is used to
manually charge the closing springs. One maintenance tool is
provided with each vacuum replacement circuit breaker.
Rotary Racking Handlt (Stylt# 94B4102G21)e:
Rotary racking is
possible utilizing a speed-handle, suitable extensions and a standard
3/4” socket. One rotary racking handle is provided per order. If
necessary, additional racking handles may be purchased directly
from Eaton. This handle is used with the rotary racking system for
insertion and removal.
Ltvtring Handlte:
The original DST-2 levering handle is used to assist
in moving the circuit breaker into and out of the cell. However, it
cannot be used with the rotary racking system. Its use is illustrated
in section 5 of this manual.
Stcondary Conntction Block Exttnsion Cablte:
The extension
cable can be used to connect the circuit breaker to a “test cabinet”
or to the switchgear cell’s secondary receptacle block so that
the breaker can be electrically operated while not installed in the
switchgear cell. This extension cable is the same one provided with
the original Federal Pacific breaker and is therefore not included as
part of the vacuum replacement breaker
.
Lifting Strap (Stylt# 94B1194G01)e:
Optional item recommended
for lifting the DST-2-VR
+
circuit breaker.
