Section 8.

 

Operating the Switchgear 

General

 DANGER: Electrical arc flash hazard.  Personal 

protection equipment required.  Turn off power to the 

equipment before working inside. 

 

 WARNING: The breaker compartment door must be 

closed and latched to maintain the integrity of the arc 

resistant enclosure.  The breaker compartment door should 

not be opened when the circuit breaker is closed and in the 

connected position when the equipment is energized. 

 

 WARNING: When a circuit breaker is removed from its 

compartment.  The future cassette barrier and the future 

breaker door cover must be installed and the circuit 

breaker compartment door closed and latched to maintain 

the integrity of the arc resistant enclosure. 

 

 WARNING: The EntelliGuard racking handle must be 

returned to its compartment to maintain the integrity of the 

arc resistant enclosure. 

 

 WARNING: Either the key interlock(s) or the metallic key 

interlock plug(s) must be installed to maintain the integrity 

of the arc resistant enclosure. 

 

 WARNING: Either the position switch or the metallic 

position switch cover must be installed to maintain the 

integrity of the arc resistant enclosure. 

 

 CAUTION: If the dead front gasket of the breaker door 

gasket is damaged, these components should be replaced 

to ensure the integrity of the arc resistant enclosure. 

Included below are abbreviated operating instructions for 

EntelliGuard circuit breakers.  Before activation of the circuit 

breakers or operation of the switchgear equipment, 

thoroughly read, and be familiar with the circuit breaker 

manuals which will be supplied as supplementary information 

to this manual.  Publication number is DEH-41304 (AKD-20 AR 

Only) or DEH-41526 (Entellisys AR Only). 
 

Manually Operated Circuit Breakers 

Closing Operation 

Manually operated EntelliGuard circuit breakers are equipped 

with an integral charging handle and a push button marked 

CLOSE on the front of the escutcheon.  The spring must be 

charged first. 
A complete charge is accomplished by pulling the handle 

down about 90° (until it stops) ten times to fully charge the 

closing springs.  

This will not close the breaker contacts

.  The 

charge indicator will show CHARGED on a yellow background. 

Opening Operation 

A mechanically operated OPEN button mounted on the 

breaker escutcheon, operates the trip shaft to open the 

breaker. 
The Entellisys HMI may also be used to electrically open the 

breaker (Entellisys AR Only). 

Electrically Operated Circuit 

Breakers 

Closing Operation 

Electrically operated breakers may be closed by ac control 

power, or dc (normally station or standby battery) control 

power.  Refer to the provided elementary diagrams for 

information on control circuitry. 
The Entellisys HMI may be used to electrically close the 

breaker (Entellisys AR Only). 

Opening Operation 

A shunt trip device is used for electrical tripping and each 

breaker can have up to two shunt trip accessories installed. 
The Entellisys HMI may also be used to electrically open the 

breaker (Entellisys AR Only).
