pressed
The trip signal of the protection trip
unit has not been reset
Press the TU mechanical reset
pushbutton or operate the electrical
reset remotely.
The open-position key lock or
padlock is activated
Unlock the lock in open position
using the relevant key
The circuit-breaker is in an
intermediate position between
connected and isolated for test
or between isolated for test and
disconnected
Complete the rack-in operation
The undervoltage coil is not
energized
Check the power supply circuit and
the power supply voltage
The opening coil is permanently
energized
Correct operating condition.
The trip unit pushbutton is pressed
(withdrawable version)
Rotate the crank to complete
The circuit-breaker

closing coil is powered
The trip signal of the protection trip
unit has not been reset
Press the TU Reset button
The power supply voltage of the
auxiliary circuits is too low
Measure the voltage: it should not
be lower than 70% of the rated
voltage of the coil
The power supply voltage is
different from that indicated on the
rating plate
Check the voltage on the rating
plate
The cables of the coil are not
inserted correctly in the terminals
Make sure there is continuity
between cable and terminal and if
necessary reconnect the cables of
the coil to the terminals
The connections in the power
supply circuit are wrong
Check the connections using the
relevant wiring diagram
The closing coil is damaged
Replace the coil
The operating mechanism is

connected and test or the trip
unit pushbutton is pressed
(withdrawable version)
Complete the rack-in operation
The undervoltage coil is not
energized
Make sure that undervoltage coil is
energized properly
The opening coil is permanently
energized
Correct operating condition. If
necessary, disconnect the power
from the opening coil
The racking out crank handle is
