INTRODUCTION 

This  Instruction  manual  contains  installation,  opera· 

tion  and  maintenance  information  for  Type 

FC-10008 

15 

kV stored  energy operated air magnetic circuit  breakers. 

WARRANTY 

The  sales contract carries all information on warranty 

coverage. 

RECEIVING 

Circuit  breakers 

are 

shipped  from  the  factory  com· 

pletely  assembled.  Observe  weight  markings  on  crates  and 

ensure that  correct  handling  equipment  is  used. 

REMOVE CRATING CAREFULLY 

WITH 

THE COR· 

R ECT TOOLS. 

Check each  item with the shipping manifest. 

IC  any  shortage  or  damage  is  found,  immediately  call  it  to 

the  attention  of  the  local  freight  agent  handling  the  ship· 

ment.  Proper  notation  should 

be 

made  by  him  on  the 

freight  bill.  This  prevents  any  controversy  when  claim  is 
made and facilitates adjustment. 

When  handling  breaker  do  not  attach  lifting  hooks, 

rope, 

etc.,  to  bushings,  insulating  parts,  fittings,  etc. 

Do 

not  slide  breaker  off  shipping  skid  without  using  ramp 
blocks  provided  as  interlock  plunger  and  linkage  may  be 
damaged. 

STORAGE 

Indoor 

The  circuit  breaker  should  be  installed  as  soon  as 

possible.  If  storage  is  necessary,  it  should  be  kept  in  a 
clean 

dry 

place  where  it  will  not  be  exposed  to dirt, corro· 

sive  atmospheres or  mechanical  abuse. 

Outdoor 

Outdoor  storage  of  circuit  breakers  is  not  recom­

men$ied.  If  breakers  must  be  stored  outdoors,  they  must 

be 

covered ·completely  and  a  heat  source  provided  to  pre­

vent condensation and subsequent corrosion. 

If  the  circuit  breaker  must  be  stored  for  some  time, 

"As 

Found"  tests are  desirable  (see  page 

31). 

CIRCUIT  BREAKER  PREPARATION 

Prepare  the  circuit  breaker  for  Insertion  into  its 

cubicle  as  follows: 

1. 

Remove  packaging. 

·2· 

NOTE 

Breakers  are shipped in closed  position with 

the 

trip  rod  and  foot  lever  enclosed  by  packaging 
to  prevent  opening  during  shipment  (refer  to 

Figure 

1). 

2. 

Push  manual  trip rod to open breaker. 

3. 

Remove  phase  barriers  (see  "Phase  Barrier 

AI.· 

sembly",  page 

15) 

and  unfasten 

both  front  and  rear 

blowout  coil  connections  (see  "Tilting 

Arc 

Chutes",  page 

17). 

4. 

With  arc  chute  support in  place at  the  rear of  the 

breaker,  tilt  the  arc  chutes  (refer  to  page 

17 

for  details)  to 

expose contact area. 

5. 

Remove  dust, foreign particles, ect., from breaker. 

a.  Inspect  ceramics  for  possible  shipping damage. 

6. 

Check  for  mechanical freedom of disconnect 

arm 

movements  by  slowly  closing  the  breaker.  Reference  page 

24 

for  Slow Close  Procedure. 

7. 

Trip  breaker  by  depressing  trip  rod  (Figure 

2, 

Item 

15). 

8. 

Return  arc chutes  to  upright position, 

fasten both 

front  arc  runner  and  rear  blowout 

coil 

connections 

and 

replace  phase  barriers.  Be  sure  screws  on  all  phases  are 
tightened  securely. 

9. 

Install  plug  jumper  and  energize  control  (springs 

should charge). 

10. 

Close  breaker  with  control  switch  on  cubicle 

panel. 

11. 

Trip  breaker  with  control  switch  on  cubicle 

panel. 

12. 

Depress  foot  lever  and  close electrically*. 

13. 

Release  foot  lever  and  repeat  steps 

10** 

and 

11. 

14. 

De-energize  control  power  and  remove  plug 

jumper. 

15. 

Coat  movable  primary and  secondary disconnects 

with  a  film  of  Siemens-Allis  contact  lubricant, 

15-171-370· 

002. 

16. 

Insert  breaker  into·  its  cubicle  to  "disconnect"  . 

position  and close  manually*.
