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
poly
-
ester
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
.
3.2
INSTALLATION
INSPECTION
Inspect
condition
of
circuit
breaker
arc
chutes
,
contact
and
electrical
connections
prior
to
install
-
ing
the circuit breaker into
the
switchboard
.
Even
though
the circuit
breaker
is
completely adjusted
and
tested
at
the
factory
,
shipping
and
handling
conditions could
cause
defects
.
3.3
REMOVING
INTERPHASE BARRIERS
(
See
Figure
3
)
Remove
two
lower
front
sheet
screws
(
9
)
and
lift
front
sheet
up
and
away
from
the
breaker
.
Remove
arc
chute
tie bar
(
6
)
at
upper
front of
arc
chutes
.
Pivot
rear
brace
(
1
)
at
rear
of
each barrier
upward
,
and
slide
the
separate
barriers
(
3
)
forward
and
away
from
the
circuit
breaker
.
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
material
and
should
not
cause
concern
.

MAINTENANCE
AND
ADJUSTMENTS
5.1
GENERAL
INFORMATION
HK
circuit
breakers
are
designed
for
minimum
maintenance
and
tested
to
insure
that
minimum
maintenance
will
be
required
.
Only
one
basic
adjust
-
ment
is
normally
required
and
that
is
contact
adjust
-
ment
.
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
insure
that
they
are
tight
.
It
is
recommended
that
circuit
breakers
normally
be
inspected
after
2000
operations
.
These
opera
-
tions
can
be
either
no
-
load
mechanical
or
load
cur
-
rent
switching
where
the
power
factor
is
relatively
high
.
When
circuit
breakers
are
used
for
direct
bulk
capacitor
or
reactor
switching
operations
or
for
motor
starting
applications
,
it
is
recommended
that
the
circuit
breakers
be
inspected
after
1000
opera
-
tions
,
because
of
the
switching
severity
.
If
,
however
,
after
the
first
inspection
period
,
there
is
no
indication
of
any
problem
,
actual
operating
experience
can
dictate
the
inspection
cycle
.
Regarding
maintenance
recommendations
follow
-
ing
fault
duty
,
reference
is
made
to
ANSI
Standard
C
37.04
to
which
the
circuit
breakers
have
been
tested
.
In
accordance
with
this
standard
,
a
total
of
400
%
asymmetrical
fault
duty
can
be
accumulated
.
This
is
to
be
ten
or
less
close
-
open
operations
at
less
than
85
%
of
full
fault
duty
;
but
it
can
be
an
accumulation
over
a
long
time
period
of
lower
cur
-
rents
.
The
condition
of
the
breaker
should
be
such
that
after
this
duty
it
is
capable
of
one
more
close
-
open
operation
at
full
fault
current
.
Inspection
is
to
be
made
at
this
time
to
insure
compliance
with
this
requirement
.
Final
operation
can
be
made
if
every
-
thing
is
satisfactory
.
At
this
time
,
maintenance
should
be
performed
,
reconditioning
done
and
re
-
placement
made
as
indicated
.
In
accordance
with
the
same
standard
,
it
is
recom
-
mended
that
after
a
major
fault
duty
cycle
(
CO
15
SEC
.
—
CO
)
,
which
is
known
to
be
between
85
and
100
%
of
the
circuit
breaker
rated
asymmetrical
short
circuit
current
,
the
circuit
breaker
be
inspected
re
-
gardless
of
any
time
period
or
number
of
operations
.
Also
,
when
the
circuit
breaker
is
applied
on
reclos
-
ing
duty
,
it
should
be
inspected
immediately
after
the
series
of
fault
operations
in
the
same
range
of
currents
.
The
condition
of
the
circuit
breaker
after
inter
-
ruption
depends
on
circuit
conditions
regarding
such
things
as
power
factor
,
X
/
R
ratio
and
relay
delay
times
.
Experience
with
specific
circuits
will
indicate
the
future
amount
of
maintenance
that
will
be
required
for
the
various
breakers
and
then
pro
-
cedural
modification
can
follow
.
Where
unusual
service
conditions
exist
,
as
cov
-
ered
by
ANSI
Standard
C
37.04
,
it
must
be
assumed
that
these
conditions
were
considered
at
the
time
of
order
;
that
the
equipment
supplied
was
designed
for
the
special
application
;
and
that
an
appro
-
priate
supplemental
maintenance
program
has
been
developed
.
These
maintenance
instructions
cover
only
circuit
breakers
used
under
standard
usual
service
conditions
.
After
normal
service
without
major
fault
interrup
-
tion
,
the
following
tests
and
adjustments
should
be
made
.

loading
will
re
-
quire
no
maintenance
if
the millivolt
drop
does
not
exceed
150
%
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
pres
sure
should
be
readjusted
as
outlined
in
paragraph
with
a
cloth
saturated
with
an
oil
-
free
OSHA
-
approved
solvent
.
Cleaning
of
insulation
is
impor
-
tant
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
.
After
this maintenance
,
contact
pressure
(
para

)
and
millivolt
drop
(
paragraph

should
be
checked
.
MOTE
:
Replacement
of
contacts
is
required
when
:
after
repeated
dressing
of
any
contacts
,
less
than
50
%
of
the
original
contact
material
thickness is
left
;
*
the

5.4
DC
MILLIVOLT
DROP
TEST
During
normal
maintenance
periods
,
the condition
of
the circuit
breaker
can
easily
be
determined
by
performing
a
millivolt
drop
test
.
This
test
should be
performed
regardless
of
whether
the
circuit
breaker
had
interrupted
low
or
high
currents
or
has
mini
-
mum
operations
.
The
following
table
lists the
millivolt
drop
and
re
-
sistance
values
for
the
circuit
breakers
,
when
manu
-
factured
,
covered
by
this instruction
book
,
from
terminal

.
5.6
.
IMOTE
:
For
optimum
performance
of
the circuit
breakers
during
periods
of
increased
loading
,
it
is
recommended
that the
listed
values be
met
.
After
all
above
steps
have
been
taken
and
the
milli
-
volt
drop
is
still
excessive
,
contact
the
district
office
for

operation
and should
not
be
disturbed
unless
the
circuit breaker
does
not

.
This
condition
is
caused
when
the latch check

ARC
CHUTES
The
arc
chutes should
be
inspected
internally
to
insure that
no
breakage
occurred
to
liner
plates
or
arc
plates
.
Further
,
there
may
be
a
crust
formed
on
the liner
plates
if
local
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 car
-
borundum
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
interrup
-
tions
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
being
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

,
as
evidenced
by
hardening
and
darkening

.
In
addition
to
lubricant
oxidation
,
frequent
operation
of
the
breaker
causes
lubricant
to
be
forced
out
from

the
bearing
surfaces
.
When
these
changes
occur
,
regreasing
is
required
to
maintain
reliable
operation
of
the
breaker
.
Elimination
of
the
hard
-
ened

is
essential
before
regreasing
is
performed
.
A
simple
lubrication
will
often
clear
up
minor
misoperations
which
might
be
mistaken
for
more
serious

.
If
the

be
done

The
undervoltage
device
,
if
furnished
,
provides
a
direct

undervoltage tripping
feature
.
This
device
must
be
energized
to
initially
close
the
breaker
,
and
also
to
maintain the
breaker
in
a
dosed
position
.
10
.
The latch check
switch
,
if
furnished
,
insures
that
the
operating
mechanism
must
be
reset
prior
to
energizing
the
closing
latch
release
coil
(

)
.

The
remote
mounted
capacitor trip
feature
.
if
furnished
,
provides
an
electrical
energy
storage
network
,
whereby
should
a
loss
of
control
power
occur
at
the
instant
of
a
tripping
signal
,
sufficient
energy
will
be
furnished
to
insure
an
electrical
trip
-
ping
operation
.

.
The
stopping
device
switch
,
if
applicable
,
prevents
electrical
reclosing
of
the circuit
breaker
after
a
manual
trip
until
the
stopping
device switch
has
been
manually
reset
.
When
AC
closing
control
power
is
supplied
,
the
circuit breaker
will
not
reclose
unless
the
reclosing
circuit
has
sufficient
time
delay
to
permit
the
"
Y

coil
to
pick
up

Operation
of
accessories
,
when installed
as
ordered
,
can
affect
electrical
/
mechanical
operations
of
the circuit
breaker
.
When the
circuit breaker is
being
tested
electrically
or
mechanically
,
under
-
voltage
devices
should be
energized
or
otherwise
mechanically
dosed and
mechanical interlocks
