Beginning the Retrofit Process
Identifying the Breaker and the Retrofit Kit
Before beginning the Retrofit Process, it is
important to verify exactly which version of
G. E. AK-50 Series Breaker(s) is to be Retrofitted
and to insure that the correct Cutler-Hammer
Retrofit Kit(s) was ordered. Each Breaker must be
identified using all of the following sources that are
applicable:
1. Nameplate Information;
2. Breaker Rating;
3. Framed or Frameless;
4. Fused or Non-Fused; and if fused
5. Location of Fuses
(on Top or Bottom Breaker Stabs).
Please refer to the following chart and verify that
the first three (3) characters of the Digitrip Retrofit
Kit Code Number correspond to the Breaker being
Retrofitted. If you find that the Retrofit Kit does not
match the Breaker, do not attempt the Retrofit.
Contact your purchasing agent and have the
correct Retrofit Kit ordered for the Breaker.
Following the Icons to a Successful Retrofit
During certain parts of the Retrofit Process,
procedures may differ depending on the version
of the Breaker being Retrofitted. To enable the
Retrofitter to quickly identify the correct procedures
for the Breaker, the following Icon System has
been developed. As you are working through a
procedure and the Icons appear, simply follow
only the instructions identified by the Icon for the
Breaker being Retrofitted.
