 Replacement Circuit Breaker

3.2   HANDLING

 WARNING

DO NOT USE ANY LIFTING DEVICE AS A PLATFORM FOR PERFORMING 

MAINTENANCE, REPAIR OR ADJUSTMENT OF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER OR 

FOR OPENING, CLOSING THE CONTACTS OR CHARGING THE SPRINGS. 

THE CIRCUIT BREAKER MAY SLIP OR FALL CAUSING SEVERE PERSONAL 

INJURY. ALWAYS PERFORM MAINTENANCE, REPAIR AND ADJUSTMENTS 

ON A WORKBENCH CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER 

TYPE.

 circuit breaker shipping containers are designed to be 

handled either by use of an overhead lifting device or by a fork lift 

truck. If containers must be skidded for any distance, it is preferable 

to use roller conveyors or individual pipe rollers.

Once a circuit breaker has been inspected for shipping damage, it 

is best to return it to its original shipping crate until it is ready to be 

installed in the metal-clad switchgear.

When the circuit breaker is ready for installation, a lifting harness in 

conjunction with an overhead lift or portable floor lift can be used to 

move the circuit breaker. If the circuit breaker is to be lifted, position 

the lifting device over the circuit breaker and insert the lifting harness 

hooks into the circuit breaker side lifting points and secure (lifting 

straps should have at least a 1000lbs lift capacity). Be sure the hooks 

are firmly attached before lifting the circuit breaker. Stand a safe 

distance away from the circuit breaker while lifting and moving.

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. Confirm 

that the circuit breaker is free from shipping damage and is in 

satisfactory operating condition before placing it in to storage.

The circuit breaker is shipped with its contacts open and closing 

springs discharged. The indicators on the front cover 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” operator. The circuit 

breaker will close as shown by the circuit breaker contacts ‘Closed’ 

indicator. Push the “manual trip” operator. The circuit breaker will 

trip as shown by the circuit breaker contacts ‘Open’ indicator. After 

completing this initial check, leave the closing springs ‘Discharged’ 

and circuit 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.
