SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
POWER CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE EQUIPPED
WITH HIGH SPEED, HIGH ENERGY OPERATING
MECHANISMS.THE BREAKERS ANDTHEIR
ENCLOSURES ARE DESIGNED WITH SEVERAL
BUILT-IN INTERLOCKS AND SAFETY
FEATURES INTENDEDTO PROVIDE SAFE AND
PROPER OPERATING SEQUENCES.TO PRO-
VIDE MAXIMUM PROTECTION FOR PERSON-
NEL ASSOCIATEDWITHTHE INSTALLATION,
OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OFTHESE
BREAKERS,THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES
MUST BE FOLLOWED. FAILURETO FOLLOW
THESE PRACTICES MAY RESULT IN DEATH,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
• Only qualified persons, as defined in the National
Electric Code, who are familiar with the installa-
tion and maintenance of power circuit breakers
and their associated switchgear assemblies
should perform any work associated with these
breakers.
Digitrip Retrofit System for the General Electric AK-50 Series Breakers:
AK-1-50 (Frameless); AK-2-50; AK-2A-50; AKT-2A-50; AKU-2A-50;
AK-3-50; AK-3A-50; and AKT-3A-50
• Completely read and understand all instructions
before attempting any installation, operation,
maintenance, or modification of these breakers.
• Always turn off and lock out the power source
feeding the breaker prior to attempting any
installation, maintenance, or modification of
the breaker. Do not use the circuit breaker as
the sole means for isolating a high voltage
circuit. Follow all lockout and tagging rules of
the National Electric Code and all other
applicable codes, regulations, and work rules.
• Do not work on a closed breaker or a breaker
with the closing springs charged.Trip (open) the
breaker and be sure the stored energy springs
are discharged before performing any work.The
breaker may trip open or the charging springs
may discharge, causing crushing or cutting
injuries.
• For drawout breakers, trip (open), and then
remove the breaker to a well-lit work area before
beginning work.
• Do not perform any maintenance: including
breaker charging, closing, tripping, or any other
function which could cause significant movement
of the breaker while it is on the extension rails.
Doing so may cause the breaker to slip from the
rails and fall, potentially causing severe personal
injury to those in the vicinity.
• Do not leave the breaker in an intermediate
position in the switchgear cell. Always leave it
in the connected, disconnected, or
(optional) test position. Failure to do so
could lead to improper positioning of the
breaker and flashover, causing death, serious
personal injury, and / or property damage.
• Do not defeat any safety interlock. Such
interlocks are intended to protect personnel
and equipment from damage due to flashover
and exposed contacts. Defeating an interlock
could lead to death, severe personal injury,
and / or property damage.

Cutler-Hammer Digitrip Retrofit Kits are available in
a number of configurations that provide a wide
range of features.The Digitrip System starts with
the 510 Basic Kit which offers true RMS sensing,
overcurrent protection, and self-testing features.
Advanced Digitrip Retrofit Kits feature zone
interlocking, digital alphanumeric displays, remote
alarm signals, IMPACC communications, energy
monitoring capabilities, power factors, and
harmonic content measurements.
The following table provides a quick reference of
the components supplied with each level of Retrofit
Kit. Before beginning the Retrofit process, take a
minute to review the information contained in the
table. It is important that the Retrofitter understand
which level of Retrofit Kit is to be installed and
which components are included with the Kit.
The instructions contained in this manual cover the
installation of all levels of Retrofit Kit.If the Kit you
are installing does not contain a certain component,
skip the instructions for that component and
proceed to the next.
Throughout the Retrofit process, refer to the Torque
Tables at the back of this manual for
specific torque values.
If you have any questions concerning the Retrofit
Kit and / or the Retrofit process, contact

Beginning the Retrofit Process
Identifying the Breaker and the Retrofit Kit
Before beginning the Retrofit Process, it is
important to verify exactly which version of
G. E. AK-50 Series Breaker(s) is to be Retrofitted
and to insure that the correct Cutler-Hammer
Retrofit Kit(s) was ordered. Each Breaker must be
identified using all of the following sources that are
applicable:
1. Nameplate Information;
2. Breaker Rating;
3. Framed or Frameless;
4. Fused or Non-Fused; and if fused
5. Location of Fuses
(on Top or Bottom Breaker Stabs).
Please refer to the following chart and verify that
the first three (3) characters of the Digitrip Retrofit
Kit Code Number correspond to the Breaker being
Retrofitted. If you find that the Retrofit Kit does not
match the Breaker, do not attempt the Retrofit.
Contact your purchasing agent and have the
correct Retrofit Kit ordered for the Breaker.
Following the Icons to a Successful Retrofit
During certain parts of the Retrofit Process,
procedures may differ depending on the version
of the Breaker being Retrofitted.To enable the
Retrofitter to quickly identify the correct procedures
for the Breaker, the following Icon System has
been developed. As you are working through a
procedure and the Icons appear, simply follow
only the instructions identified by the Icon for the
Breaker being Retrofitted.

Step 1: General Breaker Preparation
Before attempting to remove the Breaker from the
Cell or perform any Retrofit Operation, be sure
to read and understand the Safety Precautions
section of this manual. In addition, be sure to read
and understand the Instructions for the Application
of Digitrip RMS Retrofit Kits on Power Circuit
Breakers (Retrofit Application Data - Publication
AD 33-855-1), supplied with the Digitrip Retrofit Kit.
NOTE:
For Breakers Utilizing a Remotely
Mounted Neutral Sensor Connected to the
Breaker via Neutral CT Disconnect Only.
The
rating of the Neutral CT Disconnect, originally
supplied with the Breaker, does not meet the
specifications / requirements of the Retrofit Kit.
The Neutral CT Disconnect must be removed
and scrapped.The remotely mounted fourth
Sensor must be wired into the system via
Secondary Disconnects.
If the Breaker being Retrofitted is NOT
equipped with Secondary Disconnects, the
Secondary Disconnects for both the Breaker
and the Cell, as well as all mounting brackets
and hardware, must be secured from the
original manufacturer of the Breaker BEFORE
beginning the Retrofit Process.
DO NOT ATTEMPTTO INSTALL OR PERFORM
MAINTENANCE ON EQUIPMENTWHILE IT IS
ENERGIZED. SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH CAN RESULT FROM CONTACT WITH
ENERGIZED EQUIPMENT.VERIFYTHAT NO
VOLTAGE IS PRESENT BEFORE PROCEEDING.
A. Trip the Breaker and remove it from the Cell.
Move the Breaker to a clean, well-lit work
bench.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the Retrofitter
to insure that the Breaker and all original com-
ponents are in good condition.Visually inspect
all Breaker components for signs of damage or
wear. If any signs of damage or wear are
detected for components not included in the
Retrofit Kit, secure the necessary replacement
parts before beginning the Retrofit Process.
The force necessary to trip the Breaker should
not exceed three (3) lbs.
To begin the Retrofit Process, refer to the compo-
nents list at the end of this manual. Lay out the
components and hardware according to the steps
outlined.The components and hardware will be
used to complete each step in the Retrofit Process.
NOTE: For most photographs contained within
this manual, a G. E. AK-2-50 Breaker was used
as the subject. Depending on the version and
age of the Breaker being Retrofitted, some
components / views depicted in this manual
may differ from the Breaker being Retrofitted.
