fully
protected
against
condensation
,
preferably by

room
.
Circuit
breakers
for
outdoor
equipment
should be stored
in
that
equip
-
ment
only
when
power
is
available and heaters
are
in
operation
,
to

is
stored
for
any
length
of
time
,
it
should be
inspected
periodically
to
ensure
good

Operation
The Bell

with Lockout
prevents
reclosing
of
the breaker
after
a
trip
until
the
reset
button
on
the
front of
the module
is
pressed
.
This
trip
can
be
caused
by
an
overcurrent
condition
detected
by
the
Trip
Unit
or
can
be
generated
by
the
Shunt
Trip
or
Undervoltage
Release
,
if
installed and
if
the
