GENERAL DESCRIPTION

SAFETY DEVICES

Safety interlocks and guards are provided as an
integral part of the equipment design.  These
devices are provided for safety to the operator.

Never defeat, modify or
bypass any safety devices,
interlocks or operating
mechanism.  This would
make the equipment
unsafe.  Fire, explosion,
severe injury, death and
property damage could
occur.

Do not operate this
equipment unless all
covers and panels are in
place.

INDICATORS AND CONTROLS 

(Fig. 3)

The following front panel indicators and controls
are provided:

1)   On-Off Indicator - Indicates if the circuit

breaker is OFF (Green)  or ON (Red).  When
the indicator reads OFF, the main contacts of
the circuit breaker are open.  When the
indication is ON, the main contacts are
closed.

 

2)   Closing Spring Status Indicator (MU, ML

types only) - Indicates if the closing springs
are CHARGED (Yellow) or DISCHARGED
(White).

 

3)   Manual Closing Handle – Rotating the

handle clockwise approximately 75

°

 closes

the circuit breaker (On-Off indicator changes
to ON).  When the handle is released, it
returns to its normal position.

 

4)   Manual Trip Lever (Red) – Pushing the lever

in the direction of the arrow trips the circuit
breaker (On-Off indicator changes to OFF).

 
 
 

5)   Operations Counter - Indicates the total

accumulated number of times the circuit
breaker has been closed.
