Hazardous voltages and high-speed moving parts.

Can cause death, serious injury or property damage.

All replacement of circuit breaker components must be performed with the 
circuit breaker completely de-energized and the springs discharged.

Maintenance and 
troubleshooting

Introduction

The following procedures along with the 
troubleshooting charts at the end of this 
section, provide maintenance personnel with 
a guide to identifying and correcting possible 
malfunctions of the type SDV7-AR distribution 
circuit breaker.

Circuit breaker overhaul

 

Table 7: lists the recommended overhaul 
schedule for type SDV7 distribution circuit 
breakers operating under ANSI/IEEE “usual 
service conditions.” When actual operation 
conditions are more severe, overhaul periods 
should occur more frequently. The operations 
counter on the front panel of the circuit 
breaker records the number of operations.

For overhaul information and instructions, 
refer to the instruction manual for the type 
3AH35-SE distribution circuit breaker stored-
energy operator E50001-F710-K376-X-XXXX 
or the 3AH35-MA magnetic-actuator operator 
E50001-F710-K378-X-XXXX.
