Section 3: Circuit Breaker Description and
Operation
Introduction
Magnum SB circuit breakers are available in both drawout and
fixed mounting configurations (
Figures 17 and 18
) . A majority
of features are common to all configurations, and will be
discussed in this section . The mounting features unique to the
drawout and fixed configurations will be covered individually in
Sections 4 and 5 respectively .
Controls and indicators for both drawout and fixed circuit
breakers are functionally grouped on the front of the circuit
breaker . The front escutcheon (faceplate) is common for all
Magnum frame sizes up through 5000 amperes .
Double Wide frame circuit breakers utilize six (or eight) sets of
rear primary connections; these circuit breakers are available
from the factory with several different phase sequences,
distinguishable by the sixth character in the model number .
The phase sequence is also labeled on the rear of the circuit
breaker (
Figure 19
) . For drawout breakers, phase sequence
labels are also supplied with the cassette and must be applied
by the switchgear builder . Circuit breakers with different phase
sequences are not interchangeable . Drawout breakers with
differing phase sequence are prevented from insertion into the
cassette by properly assembled rejection key plates (Refer to
“Rejection Interlocks” on
page 11
) .
