Instruction manual
Checks of the spring-charging motor
No additional checks of the spring-charging
motor are necessary. If it is necessary to
remove or replace the spring-charging
motor, torque the motor-mounting
hardware to 7.3-8 ft-lb (10-11 Nm).
Anti-pump relay
If it is necessary to remove the connections
to the anti-pump relay, use care to avoid
damaging the relay. Replace the relay if the
relay terminals are damaged or loose in the
relay body.
Vacuum interrupters
The life expectancy of vacuum interrupters
is a function of the numbers of interruptions
and magnitude of current interrupted.
The vacuum interrupter contact life curve
(Figure 26: VSG/VSS40-0-40-A1 electrical
contact life) is offered as a guide to
expected life.
High-potential tests employ hazardous voltages.
Will cause death and serious injury.
Follow safe procedures, exclude unnecessary personnel, and use safety
barriers. Keep away from the circuit breaker during application of test
voltages.

Vacuum interrupters may emit X-ray radiation.
Can result in serious injury.
Keep personnel more than six feet away from a circuit breaker under
test.
