Section 7: Inspection and maintenance

7-4.1  Functional field testing

 

NOTICE

Before doing any work on drawout type circuit breakers, 

make sure that the breaker is levered out to the TEST or 

the DISCONNECT position. During the levering-out and 

levering-in of the circuit breaker, be aware of any signs that 

would indicate that the levering process is not working 

properly . If working on a fixed circuit breaker, bus systems 

should be de-energized for convenience and safety. The 

circuit breaker should be switched to the OFF position and 

the mechanism springs discharged.

Eaton recommends that the following functional tests be 

performed on the circuit breakers as part of any maintenance 

procedure. The circuit breaker should be removed from service and 

Eaton notified if the circuit breaker fails to perform any of these 

tests successfully.

Manual operation functional test
Charge the breaker mechanism springs either using the charging 

handle or the motor operator. Press the ON pushbutton to close 

the breaker manually and verify closing by noting the state of 

the indicating flag. Charge the breaker mechanism springs either 

using the charging handle or the motor operator. If using the motor 

operator, disconnect power to it to prevent automatic recharging. 

Press the OFF pushbutton to manually open the breaker. Press 

the ON pushbutton to manually close the breaker. Is the breaker 

closed? Press the OFF pushbutton to manually open the breaker. 

Is the breaker open? Repeat this entire described test procedure 

three times.

Electrical operation functional test
This test procedure is based on the assumption that the breaker is 

equipped with optional shunt trip and spring release accessories. If 

one accessory is missing, substitute the manual button to replace 

the accessory’s function. Charge the breaker mechanism springs 

either using the charging handle or the motor operator. Close the 

breaker by applying rated voltage to the spring release accessory 

and verify closing by noting the state of the indicating flag. Charge 

the breaker mechanism springs either using the charging handle or 

the motor operator. If using the motor operator, disconnect power 

to it to prevent automatic recharging. Open the breaker by applying 

rated voltage to the shunt trip accessory. Close the breaker 

using the spring release accessory. Is the breaker closed? Open 

the breaker using the shunt trip accessory. Is the breaker open? 

Repeat this entire described test procedure three times.

Trip unit overload functional test
This test uses the self-test function or the PXPM software. Charge 

the breaker either using the charging handle or the motor operator. 

Press the ON pushbutton to close the breaker manually and verify 

the state of the closing indicator. Charge the breaker either using 

the charging handle or the motor operator. If using the motor 

operator, disconnect power to it to prevent automatic recharging. 

Trip the breaker with a trip unit and verify whether the indicator 

is popped out, and then reset it. Press the ON pushbutton to 

manually close the breaker. Is the breaker closed? Trip the breaker 

with a trip unit. Verify whether the indicator (if so equipped) is 

popped out and then reset it. Reset the blinking red LED on the 

trip unit by pressing the Reset/Battery Test pushbutton.

7-4.2  Arc chute inspection

When a circuit breaker experiences a high-level fault or during 

regularly scheduled maintenance periods, the circuit breaker’s 

arc chutes and arc chambers should be inspected for any kind of 

damage or dirt. Be especially alert for signs of significant erosion 

of the V-shaped plates inside the arc chute.
