Section 6: Fixed circuit breaker

General

Section 3 discussed topics and features common to all Magnum 

PXR and PD-SB circuit breakers, no matter what the mounting 

configuration or type . In this section, features unique to the fixed 

configuration not covered elsewhere are covered . The installation 

of a fixed circuit breaker was discussed in Section 2 . If necessary, 

review that information, because it will not be repeated here .

Fixed circuit breaker dimensions

The standard fixed circuit breaker is supplied with horizontally 

mounted primary connections (

Figure 71

) . Optional vertical primary 

adapters are available for different bus configurations . Drawings and 

dimensions associated with all circuit breakers, drawout cassettes, 

and any appropriate primary bus connections can be found in the 

technical product guide (PA013006EN), available on the website at 

www .eaton .com/magnumpxr .

Section 7: Importance of maintenance

General

Magnum PXR and PD-SB circuit breakers are manufactured under a 

high degree of quality control, with the best available materials, and 

with a high degree of tooling for accuracy and part interchangeability . 

Design tests and actual experience show them to have durability 

well beyond minimum standards requirements . However, because of  

the variability of application conditions and the great dependence 

placed upon these circuit breakers for protection and the assurance 

of service continuity, Eaton recommends that inspection and  

maintenance activities take place on a regularly scheduled basis .
This section explains what Magnum PXR and PD-SB components 

need to be maintained, when they should be inspected, and step-

by-step procedures for completing required inspections and tests . 

The following maintenance recommendations apply to all families of 

Magnum PXR and PD-SB breakers .
Eaton’s history of producing high-quality electrical components has 

made Eaton a leader in the industry and a contributing member  

of many governing standards agencies . The basis for the information 

provided in this guide comes from the National Electrical 

Manufacturers Association (NEMA) standard, NEMA AB4, and the 

National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standard, NFPA 70B . If 

further assistance or information is required, please contact Eaton 

Electrical Services and Systems at 1-877-386-2273 (1-877-ETN-

CARE) .
It is recommended that maintenance record sheets be completed 

each time maintenance is performed on the circuit breaker . Careful 

and accurate documentation of all maintenance activities provides a 

valuable historical reference on equipment over time . Examples are 

provided on 

page 56

 and 

page 57

 .

This document cannot, and is not intended to, ensure proper 

electrical performance of a Magnum PXR and PD-SB breaker that 

has been modified in any way that is not authorized by Eaton .

Safety precautions

m

 WARNING

FAILURE TO INSPECT, CLEAN, AND MAINTAIN CIRCUIT BREAKERS CAN 

REDUCE EQUIPMENT LIFE OR CAUSE THE EQUIPMENT NOT TO OPERATE 

PROPERLY UNDER FAULT CONDITIONS. THIS COULD RESULT IN  

EQUIPMENT DAMAGE, BODILY HARM, OR EVEN DEATH.

Only workers with electrical training and familiarity with power 

circuit breakers and their associated hazards should perform work 

on Magnum PXR and PD-SB circuit breakers . Workers should also 

become familiar with the specifics associated with Magnum PXR 

and PD-SB circuit breakers as presented in this maintenance section . 

Be sure to follow all safety guidelines and wear proper personal 

protective equipment when performing maintenance on a circuit 

breaker .
Unless otherwise specified in this guide, inspection, preventative 

maintenance, and testing must always be performed on equipment 

that is in an electrically-safe working condition (as defined in Article 

120 of NFPA 70E-2015) and at a distance beyond the arc flash 

boundary of energized electrical conductors . Verify that there is 

no voltage present on incoming terminals (or on control power 

terminals, if present) and between these terminals and ground to 

positively ascertain that the equipment is totally in an electrically 

safe working condition . The disconnecting or isolating means on the 

line side of the isolation devices being checked or tested should 

be in the open state to assure that the equipment will remain in 

an electrically safe working condition during these procedures by 

exercising approved Lock-Out-Tag-Out procedures . Refer to the 

Hazardous Energy Control procedures as described in OSHA and 

NFPA 70C-2015, Article 120 .2 (D) for clarification .
Low voltage AC power circuit breakers should be installed, operated, 

and maintained by qualified personnel as defined by OSHA
