Persons who apply, use, and service these breakers will acquire the knowledge they ‘need by gaining the information contained in these Instructions. 1.1—Inspection and Maintenance Breakers should be cared for under a systematic maintenance program. Taking each breaker out of service « Periedically for inspection and maintenance is an excellent means of establishing high service reliability. It is good policy to have one or more spare breakers to instal in place of breakers sequiring maintenance. Keeping @ stock. of recommended renewal parts will Insure that, maintenance work can be done quickly. How frequently an individual breaker should be inspected will depend on the ciroumstances of its use. It would be well to inspect any breaker at least once a yoar. If itis frequently operated, or installed in an area of high humiaity or a dusty, dirty atmosphere, inspections should be more often, Inspections might be monthly under adverse conditions, Table 1—AKS 50 Designations ‘A basic maintenance inspection should consist of an, overall visual check, plus observation of a few closing and opening operations. Ifa breaker is seldom operated such that it remains open or closed for a period of six months or more, it is recommended that arrangements be made to open and close it several times in succession. Dirt, grease of other foreign material on any parts of the breaker should be removes by a thorough and careful Cleaning. Insulating surfaces should be checked for conditions that could degrade insulating properties. During an inspection, the breaker's contacts should be slow-closed manually (with closing springs restrained by the safety pin) to observe contact alignment and to insure that all mechanism parts move freely. A complete contact, inspection, including measurement of wipe and force, should also be done. ‘To properly inspect contacts, the arc quenchers must be removed. At this time thoroughly inspect the insiae surfaces of the arc quencher side plates and inner ‘components. 1,.2—Renewal Parts ‘The AKR breakers contain a variety of parts and assemblies. Many of these parts and assemblies are available as replacoment parts when the need arises. See publication GEF4552, Renewal parts, for a complete listing of these parts.

Among these cond tions, the more common are short circuits and sustained ‘overloads and undervoltages. ‘The type AKR breakers are of the “quick-make, quick- break" description, having the feature of storing energy in a closing spring for quick release in closing. In closing, some eneray is transferred to an opening spring to be used subsequently for fast tripping Knowledge of how the breaker is designed and how it operates will enable the purchaser to make proper use of tne breaker and to avoid mistakes in its operation. Specific, directions on adjustments and maintenance procedures will be treated later. ‘The three main functional components of a breaker are its mechanism, an assembly comprising the conductive members, and the interrupter. ‘The mechanism unit is designed to receive energy, store it land later (when called upon to do so) deliver it to close the breaker contacts. It must be able to reverse its ‘commitment to close the breaker at any point upon the activation of an automatic trip device (\.e., be “Trip-Free"), Finally, it also must be able to trip open a closed breaker uicky enough to minimize arc erosion and in such a manner as to effect proper arc transfer to the arc runner. ‘The current-carrying members of the breaker are. assembled on the back frame, which provides the ‘mechanical support required and also the insulating structure needed. The conductive members are the studs for external connections, movable and stationary contact sets, pivots for the movable contacts, and provision for ‘mounting the current transformers. The interrupter components are, in addition to the arcing contacts, the arc runners mounted on the back base and the removable arc quencher assemblies, In addition to these basic components, a breaker may be equipped with any combination of many accessories and Interlocking devices, Individual breakers may differ in a variety of areas as shown in Tables t and2. A brief description of these areas follow. ‘An outline drawing Is avallable for each breaker frame size ‘showing critical dimensions. The drawing number appears. ‘on the breaker nameplate and can be obtained trom GE. 2.1—Frame Size AKR 75 breakers are avallable In three {rame sizes—3200 ‘amperes A.C. and 4000 amperes D.C. There is also available, for replacement or hole filler application on AKD or AKDS switchgear a 3000 amperes A.C. frame. AKR 100 breakers are available in two frame sizes—4000 amperes A.C. and 6000 amperes D.C. AKS 50 (replacement breaker for the AKS0) is available in two frame sizes—1600 amperes A.C. and 2000 amperes AC. of D.C, depending on trip device. ‘These values represent the maximum continuous current capability of the respective frames. However, each breaker carries a specific rating which is determined by the current sensor ampere rating or tap setting of the trip device with which it is equipped, Individual breaker rating data is shown in Table 5. 2.2—Operation ‘There are Manual and Electrical models, The Manual breaker has an operating handle which is used to manually ccharge the mechanism closing spring. Figure 1 shows a typical Manual breaker. Fig. 1. Manually operated, AKD type ‘The Electrical breaker contains an electric motor which charges the mechanism closing spring. External control power is required to energize this motor and its control circuit, A nameplate indicates what voltage is required by the mator circuit. Figure 2 shows a typical Electrical breaker.Fig, 2. Electrically operated, AKD type 2.3—Mounting AKR-7S and -100 breakers are furnished in both drawout and stationary construction. Drawout breakers are equipped with features which make them easy to install in or withdraw from their associated switch-gear equipment. Stationary breakers are designed to be mounted in a switchboard or enclosure. Mounting consists of bolting the breaker frame to a support- ing structure within the switchboard or enclosure. If control power connections are needed, a suitable terminal board is supplied.

The breaker should be carefully protected against ‘condensation, praferably by storing it in a warm dry room, since water absorption has an adverse effect on the insulation parts, Gircult breakers for ‘outdoor switchgear should be stored in the equipment only when power is available and the heaters are in operation to prevent condensation, 2. The breaker should be stored in a clean location {ee from corrosive gases or fumes. Particular care should be taken to protect the equipment from moisture and cement dust, as this combination has avery corrosive effect on many parts, CAUTION: IF THE BREAKER IS STORED FOR, ANY LENGTH OF TIME, IT SHOULD BE INSPECTED PERIODICALLY TO SEE THAT RUSTING HAS NOT STARTED AND TO ASSURE GOOD MECHANICAL CONDITION. SHOULD THE BREAKER BE STORED UNDER. UNFAVORABLE ATMOSPHERIC CONDI- TIONS, IT SHOULD BE CLEANED AND DRIED OUT BEFORE BEING PLACED IN SERVICE 3.2 Each user must maintain & safety program for the protection of personnel, as well a5 othor equipment, from the potential hazards associated with electrical equipment, ‘The following requirements are intended to augment the User's safety program, but NOT supplant the user's respon- sibilly for devising a complete safety program. The follow ing basic industry practiced safety requirements are appll- cabo to all major electrical equipment such as switchgear or switchboards. General Electric neither condones nor assumes any responsiblity for practices which deviate from the following: 1. ALL CONDUCTORS MUST BE ASSUMED TO BE ENER- GIZED UNLESS THEIR POTENTIAL HAS BEEN MEASURED AS GROUND AND SUITABLE GROUNDING CONDUCTORS HAVE BEEN APPLIED TO PREVENT ENERGIZING, Many accidents have been caused by back feeds from a wide variety of sources, 2. Although interiocks to reduce some of the risks are provided, the individual's actions while performing service or maintenance are essential to prevent accidents, Each person's knowledge; his mental awareness; and his planned and executed actions often determine if an accident will occur. The mast important method of avoiding aceidents is forall assotiated personnel to carefully apply a thorough understanding of the specific equip- ‘ment from the viewpoints of it's purpose, its construction, i's ‘opration and the situations which could be hazardous, All personnel associated with installation, operation and mainte- ;nanse of electrical equipment, such as power circult breakers, and other power handling equiament, must be thoroughly in- structed, with petiodle retraining, regarding power equlpment in {general as well as the particular model of equipment with which they are working. instruction books, actual devices and appro- priate safety and maintenance practices such as OSHA publica: tions, National Electric Safety Code (ANS! C2), The National Electiical Code, and NFPA 70B Electrical Equipment Maintes nance must be closely studied and followed. Ouring actual work, supervision should audit practices to assure conference, 2, Excalit maintenance is essential for relablity and safety of any electrical equipment. industry publications of recom- mended maintenanes practices such as ANSUNFPA 708, Elec trical Equipment Maintenance, should be carefully studied and applied in each user's formation of planned maintenance. 3.3 Both long and short term maintenance of all electrical equip- ment is essential for reliabllty and safety. Maintenance pro- {grams must be tuned to the specific application, wall planned and carried out consistent with bath industry experience and manufacturer's recommendations, Local environment must always be considered in such programs, Including such vari- ables as ambient temperatures, extreme molsture, number of operations, corrosive atmosphere or major Insect problems ‘and any ather unusual or abusive condition of the application, ‘ne of the critical service activities, sometimes neglected, Invalves the calibration of various control devices. These monitor conditions in the primary and secondaty circuits, sometimes initiating emergency ccvrective action such as ‘opening ar closing circuit breakers. In view of the vital role dof these devices, Its important that a perlodic test program be followed, As was outlined above, it is recognized that the interval between periodic checks will vary depending upon environment, the type of device and the user's experience. It J the General Electric recommendation that, until the user has accumulated enough experience to select a test interval botter suited to his individual requiraments, al significant calibrations be checked at an interval of one to two years. To accomplish this, some items, such as "EC" direct operating ttip systems for low voltage breakars, must be tested with primary current injection, Others can be adequately tested using test sets. Specific calibration instructions on particular devices typically are provided by supplied instruction books. Instruction books supplfed by manulacturers address com- ponents that would normally require service or maintenance during the useful lite of the equipment, However, they can not include every possible part that could require attention, particularly over a very long service period or under adverse environments, Maintenance personnel must be alert to dete- rioration of any part of the supplied switchgear, taking ac- tions, as necessary to restore it to serviceable status, Industry publications of recommended maintenance practices such as ANSI/NFPA 708, Electrical Equipment Maintenance, should be carefuly studied and applied in each user's forma- tion of planned maintenance. Some users may requiee additional assistance from General Electric in the planning and performance of maintenance. ‘The General Electric Company can be contracted to either undertake maintenance ot to provide technical assistance such as the latest publications. ‘The performance and safety of this equipment may be com= promised by the modification of supplied parts or thelr re placement by non identica! substitutes. All such design ‘changes must be qualified to ANSVIEEE Standard C37.59, ‘The user should methodically keep written maintenance records as an aid in future service planning and equipment reliability Improvement. Unusual experiences should be pramptly communicated f0 the General Electric Company, 9SECTION 4—Breaker Operation Breaker Operation The AKS-50, AKR-75 and AKR-100 breakers are closed by the discharging of the energy stored in the closing spring of the breaker. As the closing springs are discharged. ine energy is directed into the closing cam of the breaker which causes the moveable breaker contacts to be forced against the stationary contacts, and, at the same time causes the opening springs to be charged so they may ‘open the breaker during a subsequent opening operation, 4.1—Manual Closing Manually operated breakers are equipped with a handle which extends from the escutcheon of the breaker. Alternately rotating the closing handle counterclockwise then clockwise through approximately 120 degrees of rotation through four complete cycles will cause the breaker to close. During the four counterclockwise movements and the first three clockwise movements of the handle, the springs are progressively charged, After approximately seven degrees travel of the fourth clockwise handle movement, the spring charge mechanism is driven “over center” and the energy stored in the closing springs, is directed into the closing cam and causes the breaker to ‘lose, A charge-indicator, numbered one to four, visible through the breaker escutcheon, indicates the number of complete handle movements that have been performed REMOTE ‘close Ky _ contage | ein co 4.2—Electrical Closing (On electrically operated breakers, the closing springs are charged by a gear mator. With the springs discharged, volt- ‘age applied to the control circuit will energize the motor through the “G" switch contacts-soe figs. 3A & 3B, The mo- tor, through the gear reduction output crank, compresses the closing springs until they are fully charged. As this fully harged position is reached, mechanically operated switch (G" reverses its shown position, deenergizing the motor. In the fig. 3 diagram switch "F* reverses its position and es- tablishes a circuit for the "X" relay. At the same time, a me- ‘chanical prop is positioned to prevent the discharge of the {uly charged closing spring. With the closing spring propped fully-charged, the breaker is ready for closing. This may be accomplished electrically, by depressing the closing button on the breaker (if 30 equipped) or by a remote closing switch. Operation of the closing switch energizes the "x" relay, which in turn energizes the closing solenoid. This removes the prop, releasing the closing springs to close the breaker. As the closing relay is energized, it energizes anti-pump relay "W". If the closing switch is maintained closed, the anti-pump relay will remain picked-up to prevent a second, Closing operation on the breaker in the event itis tripped ‘open automatically. The closing impulse must be released {and reapplied before a second closing operation can occur.

This may be accomplished electrically bby depressing the closing switch on the breaker (if so equipped) or by a remote closing switch, Operation of the closing switch energizes the W-relay, which in turn energizes the closing solenoid. This removes the prop, releasing the closing springs to close the breaker. It the closing switch is maintained closed, the anti-pump re- lay will remain picked-up to pravent a second motor charge ‘and closing operation on the breaker in the evert itis tripped ‘open automatically. The closing impulse must be released land reapplied after the closing springs are fully-charged be- fore a second closing operation can occur.

In addition, the bus or cable conductors must have ample ampacity to prevent overheating ‘The outgoing connections to breaker accessories and control devices must be in accordance with the specific wiring diagram applicable to that breaker. 4.3.1—Stationary Breaker Control connections to stationary breakers are made to a terminal board mounted on the breaker. Figure 4 shows typical closing and tripping connections. If equipped with, an overcurrent trip device which includes a ground fault element for use on 4-wire circuits, an additional terminal board is provided on the breaker for connecting to the ‘equipment-mounted neutral sensor (physically located in the neutral conductor). 4.3.2—Drawout Breaker (On drawout breakers the control circuits terminate in the breaker compartment on the stationary portion of separable secondary disconnects — soe fig. 5.

Fig, 62 shows the neutral sensors available, The current sensor supplies the power and signal inputs necessary to operate the trip system. Each sensor has four taps which provide field adjustment of the trip device's continuous ampere rating The SST Ground Fault trip eloment operates on the principle that the instantaneous values of curent in the three conduc: tors (four on 4.wire systems) add to ze70 unless ground current fexists, On SST's equipped with Ground Fault, the ground trip signal is developed by connecting each phase sensor in series with 3 companion primary winding on a ground differential transformer mounted in the programmer unit. Its secondary Output is z2r0 50 long as there is not ground current 48, Fig. 60. AKS-5A-50 Application of the Ground Fault element on 4-wire systems with neutral grounded at the transformer requires tne additional, separately maunted neutral sensor (Fig. 62) Inserted in the neutrat conductor; ts secondary is connected to 2 fourth primary winding on the ground differential transformer. See Fig, 72, This “fourth-wire" sutral sensor ig an electrical duplicate of the phase sensor, including taps. Therefore, when taps are changed fon the phase sensors, those on the neutral sensor must be correspondingly positioned When used, the neutral sensor Is separately mounted in the bus or cable compartment of the switchgear.

Typical Neutral Sensor Fig, 104 shows the neutral sensor. The neutral sensor is re quired when integral ground fault protection is used on single phase-three wire or three phase-four wire systems. It is inserted into the neutral conductor and therefore is sepa- —1 ‘ately mounted in the cable or bus compartment The outputs of the phase sensors and neutral sensors are connected to a programmer circult which sums these values. The total value will remain zero as long as there is no ground current flowing. See cable diagram in Fig, 108. ‘The neutral sensor isan electrical duplicate of the phase sensor. Therefore, when phase sensors are changed, the Fig. 103. ‘H’ Option Phase Sensor neutral sensor must be correspondingly changed. 74Since the neutral sensor is mounted separately from the breaker, a disconnect means is required to connect its output to the breaker. Fig. 88 shows the breaker and equipment mounted 4th wire secondary disconnect used with the RMS-9 system, 11.3.1—Replacement of Current Sensors Referring to Fig. 88, replacement of RMS-9 & Epic MicroVersaTrip® current sensors is accomplished by the ‘same procedure as the MicroVersalTrip® current sensors. 11.4—Flux Shifter Trip Device ‘The only difference between the RMS-9/Epie MicroVersatrip” and the SST flux shifter trip devices is the solenoid winding. Refer to Section 8.3 for details When replacing a RMS-9/Epic MicroVersaTrip* flux shifter, AMP extraction tool Cat. No. 455822-2 is required to remove the socket leads from the AMP cannactor. 11.5—Troubleshooting When maifunctionion is suspected, the first step in troubleshooting is to examine the circuit breaker and its power system for abnormal conditions such ai a) Breaker tripping in proper response to overcurrents or incipient ground faults. b) Breaker remaining in a tripfree state due to mechanical maintenance along its trip shaft. ) Inadvertent shunt trip activations, WARNING: DO NOT ADJUST THE PROGRAMMER UNIT (KNOBS) WHILE THE BREAKER 1S CARRYING CUR- Once it has been established that the circuit breaker ‘can be opened and closed normally from the test position, attention can be directed to the trip device proper. Testing is performed by either of two methods: 1. Conduct high-current, single;phase tests on the breaker using a high current-low voltage test set. NOTE: For these single-phase tests, special connections must be employed for FIMS-9 breakers equipped with Ground Fault, Any single-phase input to the programmer cir- cuit will generate an unwanted “ground fault” output signal which will trip the breaker, This can be nullified either by 4) Using the Ground Fault Defeat Cable as shown in Fig. 94 This special test cable energizes the pro- grammer circuit in a sell-cancelling, series;parallel Connection so that its output is always zero, 2. Test the components of the RMS-9 system using portable Test Set Type. The applicable test procedures are detailed in instruction Book 97367. ‘The time-current characteristics for the RMS-9 & Epic MicraVersaTrip Trip Device are given in curves GES-6227 and GES-6228, Fig. 105.

As indicated by the cabling diagram of Fig. 106, each phase sensor is connected to summing circuitry in the programmer. Under no-fault condi- tions on 3-wire load circuits, the currents in this circuitry add to zero and no ground signal Is develaped. This current sur willbe zero only if all three sensors have the same electrical characteristics. If one sensor differs from the others (.e. dif- forent rating), the circuitry can produce output sufficient to trip the breaker. Similarly, discontinuity between any sensor and the programmer unit can cause a false trip signal If nuisance tripping Is encountered on any breaker whose RMS-9 or Epic MicroVersaTrip components have previously demonstrated satisfactory performance via the TVRMS Test Set, the sensors and their connections should be closely scrutinized. After disconnecting the breaker from all power sources, a) Cheok that all phase sensors are the same type (am- pere range) ) Verify that the harness connections to the sensors meet the polarity constraints indicated by the cabling diagram ©) On Ground Fault breakers serving 4-wire loads, check that the neutral sensor is properly connected (see cabling diagram Fig. 108). 'n particular, (1) Verity that the neutral sensor has the same rating as the phase sensors, (2), Check continuity between the neutral sensor and its equipment-mounted secondary disconnect block. Also check for continuity from the breaker-mounted neutral secondary disconnect block through to the female harness connector. (3) If The breaker lower studs connect to the supply source, then the neutral sensor must have its LOAD end connected to the source. See Fig. 109, (4) Ensure that the neutral conductor is carrying only that neutral current associated with the breaker load cur: rent (neutral not shared with other loads). ¢) Ifthe preceding steps fail toidentity the problem, then the sensor resistances should be measured. Since the phase and neutral sensors are electrically identical, their tap-to-tap resistances should closely agree.

The system consists of the MVT-Plus/MVT-PM programmer current sensors and a flux shifter trip device, Figure 111 shows location of features on programmer. See user manual GEH-S891A. 12.1—Trip Unit MicroVersaTrip Plus Trip Unit MicroVersaTrip Plus trip units utilize a digital, LCD display with @ four-button keypad to provide iocal set-up and read- ut of trp settings. A S-phase ammeter and trp indicators are standard, as isa clear plastic cover with provisions for, sealing fo allow tamper resistant installation. The trip unit digitally measures the current waveform in each phase to de- termine the true RIMS value of the current, regardless of the waveshape. MicraVersaTrip* Plus trip units provide accu- rate, predictable overload and short circuit protection for dis~ tribution systems that include ac and dc variable spead drives, rectifiers, Induction heating, and other foads that cause high harmonic distortion as well as standard circu. ‘They provide maximum breaker-to-breaker selectivity and custom load grotection.

CAUTION: Neutral current sensors are required for three- ‘phase, four-wire systems, When the trip unit is connected to a three-phase, three-wire aystem, the neutral sensor termi- nals are left open. Do not short any neutral current sensor terminals in a three-phase, three-wire system, as this Could result in damage to or malfunction of the electrical system, Fig, 119 shows the neutral sensor. The neutral sensor Is re- ‘ured whan integral ground fault protection is used on single phase-three wire or three phase-four wire systems. It is inserted into the neutral conductor and therefore is sepa- rately mountad in the cable or bus compartment. The outputs of the phase sensors and neutral sensor are connected to a programmer circult which sums these values. The total value will remain zero as long as there is no ground current flowing, The neutral sensor is an electrical duplicate of the phase sensor.

The EC-18 tripping device can be constructed to supply a variety of different types of time-current charac- teristics, either alone or in combination. These are long time delay, short time delay, and instantaneous, and they are identified respectively by numbers 1, 2 and 3. Chara teristics are further broken down within each of the first two of these general classifications into maximum, Intermediate and minimum values of the time delay period. ‘These are coded respectively as AA, BB and CC. Time and current relationships for the various device characteristics are given by the curves listed in Table 18, TABLE 22—Time-Current Curves Tp Characteristic (€c Deviees curve ‘only. tip peviee | ete & s u (See Curves Es-60008, 1083 (GES. 6003 1ce3 reve es-6004 st u (See Cues) 1A GES-6010, 183 Ges-6011 163 15-6012 (GES-6005, Oe Tong Times 13.1.1—Long Time Delay Tripping ‘Short Time 1 = Instantaneous Referring to Fig, 123, the long time delay is obtained as follows: The long time delay armature (22) is restrained by the long time delay calibration spring (15). After the magnetic force produced by the overcurrent condition overcomes this. restraint, the velocity of the armature movement is. governed by the flow of oil through an orifice in the piston of the dashpot (17). The time required to displace the piston is inversely proportional to the force tending to close the magnetic circuit 13.1.2—Short Time Delay Tripping Reterring to Fig. 101 the short time delay is obtained 2s follows The short time delay armaturd (1) is restrained by a calibration spring (6). If the force tending to close the armature against the magnet (11) is great enough to overcome the spring force, the speed of movement is ‘governed by the mechanical escapement mechanism consisting of parts (2), (3), (4) and (5). 13.1.3—Instantaneous Tripping—High Set Referring to Fig. 129 adjustable instantaneous tripping Is. ‘accomplished by varying the amount of tensile torce on the high-set instantaneous spring (21). When a magnetic force greater than the restraining spring force is produced by an over-current condition, the armature (22) is pulled upward against the magnet (24), thus tripping the breaker by the movement of the connecting rod (13) against the trip padale (14) The pickup value of the device may have one of the following ranges: 4 to 9, 6 to 12, or 8 to 18 times coil rating, Three calibration marks will appear on the calibration scale (18) and the vaiue of these calibration marks will be Indicated by stampings on the scale as follows: (4X-6.5X- 8X) oF (6K-9X-12K) or (9X-12X-15X), depending on the desired range. To set the device at a particular pickup value, loosen the clamping nut (20) and slide the index. pointer on the calibration washer (18) to @ position which lines up horizontally with the desired pickup value on the. calibration scale (18). 13.1.4—Instantaneous Tripping—Low Set Low-set instantaneous tripping is adjustable from 80 percent to 250 percent of the continuous current rating of the device. Whenever this is used, Its the only characteristic of the device. Instantaneous tripping used in conjunction with any other characteristic is always. high-set. It the characteristic of the device Is low-sat, adjustable instantaneous, a link is installed in place of spring (21) and the instantaneous calibration spring is located where spring (15) is shown in Fig, 26. Dashpot (17) is omitted from assembly. See Fig. 101 13.2—Replacement The EC-18 device is replaced as follows, referring to Fig. 123 1, Remove stud (28) 2, Remove mounting clamp. 3, Remove two screws fastening magnet (11) to lower stua. 4, Device is now free of breaker. Reassembly Is accomplished by reversing the procedure When reassembling the magnet fo the lower stud, be sure to replace any spacing washers In the same location in which they were found during disassembly. If this is not done, misalignment and consequent malfunction may result. 87SECTION 13—Type EC Overcurrent Trip Device 13.3—Adjustments Before the EC-18 overcurrent device is calibrated at the factory, the alr gaps between magnet (11) and armatures (1.and 22) are set. Those gaps are measured at their widest point, between the front edge of the armature and magnet, ‘The gap for the short time delay armature is 17/64 in., and for the long time delay armature is 17/64 in, Both have @ plus and minus tolerance of 1/64 in. The air gap setting Is a factory adjustment and is not to be attempted in the field. If any change occurs, the calibration cof the device will not be true. If any calibration difficulties ‘are experienced, they may be due to the fact that the air ‘gap setting has been altered by rough handling or shipment damage. If a check of the alr gap measurement reveals that the tetting is beyond the tolerance, the device should be returned tothe factory for recalibration. ‘The adjustment screw (7) is provided so that the short-time ‘mechanism will pick up the trip link (8) at the same point at ‘which it is picked up by the tong-time mechanism. This, may be checked before the device is mounted by pulling forward on the connecting link (10) and checking visually to see that trip link (8) contacts both the set pin in the long time linkage and the end of adjustment screw (7) Alter the device is mounted on the breaker, a final adjustinent that must be made in the length of the ‘connecting rod (10). This is made by varying the amount of thread engagement between the connecting rod and the insulated coupling which ties onto the trip paddle (14). The approximate distance between the pivot centers on the fends of the connecting rod assembly is six inches. The correct exact distance is that which will just cause tripping of the breaker when the armature is closed to a point 1/32 in. short of contact with the magnet. A step-by-step procedure for making this adjustment follows. 1. Before mounting the trip device, set the center distance between the pivot centers of the connecting rod at six inches. 2. Close the breaker and insert a feeler gage 1/92 in. thick between the armature and magnet, This should be done from the rear of the breaker. The feeler gage should eno wider than 1/2 in, and at least 4 inenes long 3. Close the armature against the gage and magnet. 4. Ifthe breaker does not trip, fo"m paddle 14 to obtain positive trip. '5. Check visually to make sure that the connecting rod does not restrict the engagement of the breaker trip latch when the breaker mechanism resets. It should always be possible to adjust its length to a point where resetting is, ‘not interferred with and yet positive tripping by the overcurrent device is achieved ‘Short Time Mechanism Long Time & High Set Inst.

Dual overcurrent trip, with long-time delay and high- sat instantaneous tripping. 2. Low-set instantaneous tripping 8, High-set instantaneous tripping, The dual trip has adjustable long-time and instantaneous pick-up settings and adjustable time settings. Both forms of instantaneous trip have adjustable pick-up settings. Adjustment Note Before attempting any checks or adjustments on breaker with EC trip devices, the breaker mechanism and trip latct. should be checkad to assure thelr proper functioning so that tre breaker trip shaft is free of high friction loads. The trp latch of the breaker should also be checked for proper trip latch engagement. See Section 6.3.1 Roter to Fig. 124 for the discussions given below. 13.4.1—Long Time-Delay and High-Set Instantaneous Tripping By means of the adjustment knob (3), which can be manipulated by hand, the current pick-up polnt can be varied from 80 to 160 percent of the series coll rating. The indicator {and a calibration plate (2) on the front of the case provide a ‘means of indicating the pick-up point setting In terms of percentage of coll rating. The calibration plate is indexed at percentage settings of 80, 100, 120, 140, 160 ‘As in the case of the EC-1 over-current trp, the long-time, delay tripping feature can be supplied with any one of three time-current characteristics which correspond to the NEMA standards maximum, intermediate and minimum long-time delay operating bands. These are identified as 1A, 1B and 1C characteristics, respectively. Approximate tripping time for each of these, in the same order are 30, 416, and 5 seconds at 600 percent of the pick-up value of current. (See time-current characteristic curves) ‘The tripping time may be varied within the limits shown on the characteristic curves by turning the time adjustment screw (4). ‘Turing in @ clockwise dlrection increases the tripping time; counterclockwise motion decreases it. The dashpot arm (8 Is, Indexed at four polnts, MIN-1/92/3-MAX, as indicated In Fig. 124. Wren the Index mark on the connecting link (8) lines up with a matk on the dashpot arm, the approximate tripping time ‘as shown by the characteristic curve Is indicated. The 1A and 1B characteriaic devices are shipped with this setting at the 218 mark and the 1C characteristic at the 1/3 mark. Standard Characteristic curves are plotted at these settings. Timo values are inversely proportional to the effective length of the dashpot arm. Therefore, the linkage setting that gives the shortest time value is the one at which dimension “A”, Fig, 123 is greatest. The time adjustment screw (4) may be turned by inserting a Phillips head screwdriver through the hole in the front of the case. If tis desired to relate the linkage setting to the index marks on the linkage it will be necessary to remove the case, This ‘may be done by removing the two mounting screws, one. (on each side of the case, which may be taken off without disturbing the trip unt itselt, 13.4.2—Instantaneous Low-Set Tripping ‘The low-set instantaneous pick-up point may be varied by the adjustment knob (3). The calibration in this case Usually ranges from 80 percent ot 250 percent of the series coll rating, with the calibration plate indexed at values of £80, 100, 180, 200, and 250 percent of the rating, 13.4.3—Instantaneous High-Set Tripping ‘The high-set instantaneous pickup value may have one of the following three ranges: (4 to 9), (6 to 12), (9 to 16) times coll rating. The plek-up setting may be varied by turning the instar ‘taneous plek-up adjusting serew (12) ‘Three calibration marks (16) will appear on the operating arm (18) and the value of these calibration marks will be indicated by stampings on the arm as follows: (4X-6.5X-9X) (oF (6X-9X-42X) oF (OX-12K-15X), At the factory, the pick-up point has been set at the nam plate value of the Instantaneous trip current. (Usually ‘expressed in times the ampere rating of the trip coil). The variation in pick-up setting is accomplished by varying the tensile force on the instantaneous spring (6). Turning the adjustment screw changes the position of the movable nut (11) on the screw. The spring's anchored to this movable ‘ut so that when the position of the nut is changed, there {sa corresponding change In the spring load. As the spring Is tightaned, the pick-up point Is increases. ‘The top edge of the movable nut (11) serves as an index pointer and should be lined up with the center of the. desired calibration mark (18) to obtain the proper instantaneous trip setting. The trip screw (6) on the end of the armature (7} should be set so that it does not contact the trip paddle on the trip shaft until the air gap between armature and pole pisce Is reduced to 3/32 in. or ess, measured at the rivet in the pole piece. Also, the armature must have a minimum of 1/82 in. of travel beyond the point in its motion at which the breaker is tripped. 29SECTION 13—Type EC Overcurrent Trip Device TEE 2 1, Low set instantaneous spring 9, Connecting link 2.

After the magnetic force produced by an overcurrent condition overcomes this restraining force, the armature movement is further retarded by an escapement mechanism which produces an Inverse time delay characteristic. The mechanism is shown on Fig. 126 13.5.2—Long Time-Delay Tripping ‘The armature (10) is restrained by the calibration spring (11). After the magnetic force produced by an overcurrent condition overcomes this restraining force, the armature ‘movement is further retarded by the flow of siicone oll In a dashpot, which produces an Inverse time delay characteristic.

EC-1 Devices may have their pick-up settings varied by Changing the positions of the sliding callbration plates on the front of each device, The clamping nut holding the piate must be loosened to make the change, and then Fetlgttened. fa new detice is installed, the adjusting screw on the tripping arm must be set to give 1/32nd of an inch ‘overtravel in tripping. The method for making this check is demonstrated in Figure 127. The rod shown is used for Bushing the armature of davice closed: If this is done with the device mounted on a closad breaker, it will simulate the action which occurs when the device reacts to an overload condition 13.6—Positive Trip Adjustment Betore attempting any checks or adjustments on breaker with EC trip devices, the breaker mechanism and trip latch should be checked to assure their proper functioning so that the breaker trip shaft is free of high friction loads. Tho wip latch of the breaker should also be chacked for proper trip latch engagement. See Section 6.3.1 In addition to the pick-up settings and time-delay adjustments already described, overcurrent trip devices ‘must be adjusted for positive tripping. This adjustment is made at the factory on new breakers, but must be made in, the field when the breaker mechanism or the overcurrent trip devices have been replaced, Positive tripping Is achieved when adjustment screw (9) Figure 126 is in such a position that it will always carry the trip paddle on the trip shat beyond the point of tripping the mechanism, when the armature closes against the magnet. In order to make the adjustment, first unscrew trip screws (9), Figure 126, until it will not trip the breaker even though the armature is pushed against the magnet. Than, holding the armature in the closed position, advance the screw ntl it just trips the breaker. After this point has been reached, advance the screw two additional full turns. This will give an overtravel of 1/16 of an inch and will make sure that activation of the device will always trip the breaker. Adjustment screw (8), Figure 126 can best be manipulated by an extended 1/4 inch hex socket wrench Fig. 127. Checking travel distance of series overcurrent tripping device 9213.7—Reverse Current Tripping Device ‘The device is enclosed in a molded case and is mounted Cn the right pole base similar to the series overcurrent tripping device. ‘The reverse current tripping device (see Fig. 126) consists ofa series coll (2) with an iron core mounted between two pole pieces (8), also a potential coll (7) connected across Constant source of voltage and mounted around a rotary- type armature (10). Calibration spring (6) determines the armature pick-up when a reversal of current occurs. ‘As long as the flow of current through the breaker is in the normal direction, the magnetic flux of the series coil and ‘ne magnetic flux of the potential coil produce a torque which tends to rotate the armature counterclockwise. The calibration spring also tends to rotate the armature in the same direction, This torque causes the armature to rest against the stop screw (12) attached to a bearing plate on the right side of the device. If the current through the series coil (2) is reversed, the armature (10) tends to move in the clockwise direction against the restraint of the calibration spring (6). When the current reversal exceeds the calibration setting, the armature revolves clockwise causing the trip rod (3) to move upward engaging the trip paddle (1), thereby 1. Trip paddle 2.

EC-1 reverse currrent triping device 93SECTION 13—Type EC Overcurrent Trip Device 13.7.1—Adjustments Tho only adjustment to be made on the reverse current device is to make sure that the trip rod has @ minimum overtravel of 1/82 in. beyond the point of tripping the breaker. This adjusiment should have to be made only when an old device is being replaced by anew one, ‘The new device will be factory adjusted so that the top end of the trip rod (3) will extend 1/2 in, above the top of the device case, and no additional adjustments of the trip rod should be required. To obtain the proper 1/32 in overtravel, close the breaker and proceed as follows: 1, Loosen the locking nut, (2B), 2. Manually lift the trip rod and vary the position of the adjusting nut (2A), this establishing the position of the adjusting nut where the breaker is just tripped. NOTE: Be sure to keep clear of moving breaker parts when tripping the breakers. 3. With this position of the adjusting nut established, advance the adjusting nut upward one and one-half turns. 4. Tighten the locking nut and the minimum 1/32-in overtravel of the trip rod should be obtained 13.7.2—Replacement After removing the wiring for the potential coil the reverse current device can be removed and replaced by following the procedure outlined for replacing the series overcurrent device, See Section 11.9. For wiring, see Fig. 128. 13.8—Switchette Feature ‘The switchette is operated by the long-time delay function, Its purpose is to provide a sot of contacts that will close afore an overload occurs, This device will not trip the breaker on overload it will tip on instantaneous only. 94 The switchette feature is available only in type EC-1 devices The switchette is used in one pole and EC-1 trips in the other poles. For the alarm to be effective in indicating the overload before the other poles trip the breaker, the device ‘must have less time delay than the other two poles; this is ‘accomplished by using a lower characteristic on the alarm device than the other poles or setting the alarm devices long time setting at 80%. 13,9—Trip Device Replacement Overcurrent devices on the AKS50 breakers can be replaced as follows: a. Separate frames as described in Section 5.3 », Referring to Fig. 126, remove bolts securing the series coil (1) to the lower stud. 6. Remove the clamping bracket (20) 4, Before installing the replacement device, check the travel of trip arm as described in Section 11.5.4 and Fig. 127, @. Replace new device in reverse order. f. Adjust the new device as described in Section 11.5.4 When replacing an EC-1 device with an EO-2 or EO-2A device, it may be necessary to replace the trip paddles on the trip shalt with slightly longer ones. If paddle replacement is required, new paddles are provided with the replacement trip units Pickup settings on the cover of the EC-2, EC-2A device are calibrated for the specific device. When replacing covers, replace on associated device.SECTION 14— Electrical Characteristics Table 23 Table 27 Charging and closing operating currents.
