 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.
