Internal electrical accessories
Other electrical accessories are mounted inside the circuit
breaker . They can be factory or site installed . There are two
different internally mounted accessories:
•
Overcurrent trip switch (bell alarm)
•
Motor operator
Overcurrent trip switch (bell alarm)
—An overcurrent trip switch
(bell alarm) is an optional device (
) . It provides an electrical
indication when a circuit breaker trips as a result of the trip unit
reacting to an overcurrent condition . Opening as a result of a circuit
breaker’s manual open button, shunt trip, or undervoltage release
does not cause the overcurrent trip switch to operate .
The overcurrent trip switch has 2 Form C contacts (
) . The
status of the contacts changes when the trip indicator pops out . This
permits the switch to be used as an alarm or in conjunction with a
spring release to block a subsequent remote electrical
closing signal .

Motor operator
—A motor operator is an electric motor assembly
internally mounted in the circuit breaker (
) .
It charges the closing springs electrically for remote or local operation .
The motor operator can be factory or site installed (
) .
To convert a manually operated circuit breaker to an electrically
operated circuit breaker, a UL Listed motor operator kit is available .
