Figure 9. Step 3
Carefully place a breaker or cassette on a solid work surface capable
of handling their weight for examination (
Table 3
). A drawout circuit
breaker can also be examined while withdrawn on the drawout
extension rails of an already installed cassette. Fixed circuit breakers
already installed in an assembly can be inspected in their installed
location.
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO LIFT A BREAKER OR CASSETTE WITH ORDINARY
CRANE HOOKS OR CHAINS. DAMAGE TO VITAL CIRCUIT BREAKER PARTS
COULD RESULT. USE TWO APPROPRIATE LIFTING STRAPS WHEN USING ANY
TYPE OF LIFTING DEVICE.
CAUTION
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE CASSETTE IS PROPERLY MOUNTED OR SEATED
SECURELY ON A WORK TABLE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THE BREAKER
FULLY EXTENDED ON THE CASSETTE’S DRAWOUT RAILS. FAILURE TO
COMPLY COULD RESULT IN THE CASSETTE TIPPING FORWARD RESULTING IN
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE AND/OR BODILY INJURY.
Step 6e:
All circuit breakers, once removed from their shipping
containers, should be visually inspected for any obvious damage.
Check to make sure that the installed trip unit and nameplate
information match the equipment as ordered. All circuit breakers
should be operated as described in
Section 3
prior to being put into
service.

Storing circuit breaker
Store a circuit breaker in its original shipping container with contacts
open and springs discharged. Keep it in a clean dry place. Ensure there
is ample air circulation and heat, if necessary, to prevent condensation.
IMPORTANT
A CIRCUIT BREAKER STORED FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME SHOULD BE
OPERATED A MINIMUM OF FIVE TIMES BEFORE IT IS PLACED IN SERVICE.
CAUTION
DO NOT STORE EQUIPMENT ON ITS BACK. THIS COULD RESULT IN
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.
