,
150
and
250
,
remove
nut
(
6
)
and
gently
disconnect
return
connection
(
5
)
.
Grasp
the
arc
chute
(
I
)
at
the
front
and
top
and
gently
tilt
on
its
pivot
towards the
rear
until
it
rests
on
the lead
support
molding
(
2
)
.
If
other than
visual
inspection
is
to
be done
,
the
arc
chute
,
in
the tilted
position
,
should be
lifted
straight
out
of
the
pivot
guide
slots
and
fingers
and removed
from
the circuit breaker
.
For
5
HK
350
,
remove
nut
(
6
)
and
gently
disconnect
return
connection
(
5
)
.
Remove bolt
connecting
the
front
leg
of
the
arc
chute
to
the block
on
the base sheet
of
the
circuit
breaker
.
Attach the
accessory
lifting
bracket
to
the tie bar
bushing
at
the
top
front
of
the
arc
chute
and
slowly
raise
the
arc
chute
as
required
by
means
of
a
hoist
.
It
will
pivot
at
its
terminal connection and then should be
guided straight
out
of
the
pivot
guide
slot and
fingers
and removed
away
from
the circuit breaker
.
If
only
a
visual
examination
is
to
be
made
,
each
arc
chute
may
be
tilted back
gently
,
hand held
and
then
slowly
lowered
.
3.5
ARC CHUTE EXAMINATION
Examine
arc
chutes
carefully
before
placing
into
service
.
Look
for
any
breakage
to
liner
plates
and
arc
chute
plates
.
Check
for
presence
of
any
foreign
particles
such
as
chips
of
ceramic and metal
.
Inspect
exterior
for
any
damage
or
deformation
.
The
polyester glass moldings
occasionally
have
some
small cracks
develop
in
resin
-
rich
areas
,
but
these cracks do
not
indicate
defective
material
and
should
not
cause
concern
.
3.6
INSULATION STRUCTURE
All
insulated
parts
should be checked
for
damage
.
Any
dust
or
dirt should
be removed
by
compressed
air
or
wiped
with
a
clean
,
lint
-
free
cloth
saturated
with
an
oil
-
free
solvent
.
This is
important
because the
soot
or
dirt
can
accumulate
and
,
with
moisture
,
place
the circuit
breaker
in
jeopardy
,
dielectrically
.
The
lead
support
moldings
are
polyester
glass
and
occasionally
have
some
resin
-
rich cracks
or
crazing
develop
,
but
these
do
not
indicate
defective
mate
-
rial
and should
not
cause concern
.

MAINTENANCE
AND
ADJUSTMENTS
5.1
GENERAL
INFORMATION
HK
circuit
breakers
are
designed
for
minimum
mainte
-
nance
and
tested
to
ensure
that
minimum
maintenance
will
be
required
.
Only
one
basic
adjustment
is
normally
re
-
quired
and
that
is
contact
adjustment
.
This
should
be
checked
to
the
dimensional
values
required
as
described
in
paragraph
5.2
.
Other
adjustments
are
required
only
when
operational
check
indicates
a
need
.
During
maintenance
checks
,
all
accessible
bolts
,
nuts
and
screws
should
be
routinely
checked
to
ensure
that
they
are
tight
.
It
is
recom
-
mended
that
the
5
HK
75
,
5
HK
150
and
5
HK
250
circuit
breakers
be
normally
inspected

operations
and
that
the
5
HK

circuit
breakers
be
normally
inspected
after

operations
.
These
operations
can
be
either
no

load
mechanical
or
load
current
switching
where
the
power
factor
is
relatively
high

When
the
circuit
breakers
are
used
for
direct
bulk

reactor
switching
operations
or
for

applications
,
it
is
recommended
the

5
HK
150
and
5
HK
250
circuit
breakers
be
inspected
after

and
that
the
5

breakers
be
inspected
after

because
of
the

severity
If
however
,
after
the
first
inspection
period
,
there
is
no
indication
of
any

experience
can
dictate
the
inspection
cycle
.
Regarding

85
%
of

;
but
it
can
be
an
accumulation
over
a
long
time
period
of
lower

.
The
condition
of

should
be
such
that
after
this
duty
it
is
capable

Inspection
is
to
be
made
at
this

to
ensure
compliance
with
this
requirement
.
Final
operation
can
be
made
if
everything
is
satisfactory
.
At

,
maintenance
should
be
performed
,

CONTACT
AND
INSULATION
CLEANING
All
dirt
,
soot
or
grease
should be removed
from
circuit
breaker
contacts
and
surface of
entire
current
-
carrying
structure
,
as
well
as
ail
insulation
surfaces
,
with
a
cloth
saturated
with
an
oil
-
free
OSHA
-
approved
solvent
.
Clean
-
ing
of
insulation is
important
because
soot
and dirt
can
accumulate
and
,
with
moisture
,
place
the circuit breaker
in
jeopardy
,
dielectrically
.
A
degree
of
burning
and
pitting
of
circuit breaker
arcing
contacts
is
to
be
expected
from
normal
operation
;
also
,
on
highly
inductive
or
capacitative
circuits and
after
major
interruptions
,
some
pitting
may
occur on
main
contacts
.
A
moderate
amount
of
pitting
will
not
interfere
with
operation
of
the
contacts
.
When
necessary
to
dress the
contacts
,
cover
the
puffer
nozzle
(
5
,
Figure
1
)
with
a
cloth
,
then
follow
the
contour
of
the
contacts
with
a
fine file
.
Do
not
attempt
to
eliminate
pitting
entirely
.
Afterthis
maintenance
,
contact
pressure
(
paragraph
5.2
)
;
and
millivolt
drop
(
paraqraph
5.4
)
should
be
checked
.
NOTE
:
Replacement
of
contacts
is
required
when
:
after
repeated
dressing
of
any
contacts
,
less than
50
%
of
the
original
contact
material thickness is
left
;
*
the
tips
of
the
stationary
arcing
contacts
have been eroded
away
;
any

Breakers
operating
with
normal
loading
will
require
no
maintenance
if
the millivolt

%
of
the
listed
values
.
If
the
millivolt
drop
does
exceed
150
%
of
the
above
values
,
the
main and
arcing
contacts
should be
dressed
with
a
fine
file
,
cleaned
and
adjusted
for
proper
contact
pressure
and
then
rechecked
.
If
the values
are
still
in
excess
of
the
150
%
value
,
the
bridge
pivot
pressure
should
be
readjusted
as
outlined
in
Paragraph
5.6
.
NOTE
:
For
optimum
performance
of
the
circuit
breakers
during
periods
of
increased
loading
,
it
is
recommended
that
the
listed
values be
met
.
After
all

steps
have been
taken and the millivolt

CAUTION CAUTION
CAUTION CAUTION
FOR
SAFETY
KEEP
CLEAR
OF
ALL
MOVING
PARTS
.
The
performance
of
the
puffers
should be
checked
during

normal maintenance interval
.
Each
puffer
should
provide
a
moderate
blast
of
air
at
breaker
contacts
,
on
opening
of
thecircuit
breaker
.
This
can
be detected
by holding
a
piece
of
paper
approximately

"
over
the
top
of
the

action
or
the circuit breaker
must not
be
placed
in
service
.

DC
MILLIVOLT DROP
TEST
During
normal
maintenance
periods
the condition
of
the
circuit breaker
can
easily
be
determined
by
performing
a
millivolt

test
.
This
test
shou Id
be
performed
regardless
of
whether the

ARC
CHUTES
The
arc
chutes
should be
inspected
internally
to
ensure
that
no
breakaqe
occurred
to
liner
plates
or
arc
plates
.
Further
,
there
may
be
a
crust
formed
on
the
liner
plates
if
load
current
interruptions
were
close
to
the
continuous
current
rating
of
the breaker
,
or
moderate
faults
were
interrupted
.
This
crust
should be removed
by
carefully
using
a
carbo
-
rundum
stone
or
scraper
.
The
arc
chute should then be
blown
out
with
compressed
air
to
remove
the resultant
dust
and
particles
.
After
400
%
accumulated
current
or
major
interruptions
occur
,
the
circuit
breaker
should be
inspected
immediately
.
All
maintenance
checks
or
tests
noted above should be
carried
out
,
plus
close examination
of
the
arc
chute
.
Arc
plate
and liner
plate
breakage
should be
carefully
looked
for
,
along
with
excessive
erosion
of
the
arc
plates
.
Arc
plates
are
made
of
ceramic material
and
perform
the
function of
extracting
heat
from
the
arc
as
it
is
beinq
forced
into
and
elongated
by
them
.
The
leading edges
become
coated
with
glass
that
comes
to
the
surface from
the
extreme
heat
.
Direct
measure
of
use
is the
amount
of
glass
beads evident
.
When
the entire
leading edge
and
portions
of
the
flat
arc
plate
are
heavily
encrusted
with
glass
beads
,
the
arc
chute
should be
replaced
.
It
should be noted
that this condition
will
vary
between
arc
chutes
on
the
same
breaker because
of
single
-
phase
fault
and
asymmetrical
current
incidences
.

,
whereby
should
a

occur
at
the
instant
of

,
if
applicable
,
prevents
