c. Turning the racking handle
counterclockwise will begin to rack the
circuit breaker into the compartment.
When the circuit breaker is racked into
the compartment, the force needed
to rotate the racking handle will be
low at the beginning of motion as the
movement of the racking crank arms
is only opening the shutters. Once
the shutters are open, the circuit
breaker begins to move toward the
stationary primary disconnecting
devices. When the movable primary
disconnecting devices of the circuit
breaker engage with the stationary
primary disconnecting devices of the
compartment, the force required to
rotate the racking handle will increase
appreciably. This force will decrease
as the primary disconnecting devices
spread and engage fully. Continuing
rotation of the racking handle will cause
the circuit breaker to travel further into
the compartment ensuring wipe or
overlap of the primary disconnecting
devices. Continue racking until the
breaker position indicator displays
“BREAKER CONNECTED”. When the
circuit breaker reaches the end of the
racking travel, the user will notice
an increased amount of force. If the
operator continues to apply force, a
torque limiter on the racking handle
will produce a sharp clicking sound
indicating the torque limit is reached at
35-ft-lb. At this time, cease from racking
in any further.
d. Once the circuit breaker has reached the
connected position, remove the racking
handle, visually verify the emergency
racking drive shaft shutter has returned
to its normal position, close the
compartment door and operate the
circuit breaker as required.
Note: This is the Connected Position.

Prior to removing the circuit breaker from the
circuit breaker compartment, make sure that
the control circuits are deenergized.
!
CAUTION
Prior to removing the circuit breaker from the
circuit breaker compartment, make sure the
circuit breaker is in the open position and all
springs are discharged.
!
CAUTION
1) Removing the Circuit Breaker from the
Connected to the Test/Disconnected Position
The preferred method of racking an ARG or
ARM Series 4 circuit breaker is electrically
from a remote location via Sentry remote
controller. Refer to the instruction bulletin
provided with the controller for detailed
information on the automatic racking
procedures.
