SECTION 6:   INSPECTION & MAINTENANCE

m

 DANGER

DO NOT WORK ON A CIRCUIT BREAKER IN THE ‘CONNECT’ POSITION.

DO NOT WORK ON A CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH SECONDARY    

DISCONNECTS ENGAGED.

DO NOT WORK ON A CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH SPRINGS CHARGED OR 

CONTACTS CLOSED.

DO NOT DEFEAT ANY SAFETY INTERLOCKS.

DO NOT LEAVE MAINTENANCE TOOL IN THE SOCKET AFTER CHARGING 

THE CLOSING SPRINGS.

STAND AT LEAST ONE METER AWAY FROM THE CIRCUIT BREAKER WHEN 

TESTING FOR VACUUM INTEGRITY.

m

 DANGER

FAILURE TO FOLLOW ANY OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS MAY CAUSE DEATH, 

SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND/OR IMPROPER 

OPERATION. SEE SECTION 2 - SAFE PRACTICES FOR MORE INFORMATION.

6.1   INSPECTION FREQUENCY

The scheduled maintenance interval for the VR- circuit 

breaker is once every ten years or ten thousand operations, 

whichever comes first when applied in normal applications as 

defined by IEEE C37.04-1999. However, if the circuit breaker is 

operating in a high level of natural elements or in a corrosive 

environment, inspection should be performed twice each year. The 

circuit breaker should also be inspected and a vacuum interrupter 

integrity test performed (Section 6.3) any time the circuit breaker is 

transported to another physical location or switchgear assembly. In 

addition, the circuit breaker should have a full inspection if the circuit 

breaker interrupts a fault current.
