Since fault current owing through the conductors causes large electromagnetic forces, the conductors should be
secured rmly, using the values in the below table as a reference. Max. distance between xing support and breaker
bus bar should be less than 200mm.
When selecting conductors to be connected to the breakers, ensure that they have a sufcient current capacity. Refer to the right table.

Insert the lock plate, and rotate the drawout handle
clockwise. When the breaker is inserted to the CONNECT
position, the lock plate is protruded automatically,
completing the insert operation. At this time, the drawout
position indicator shows the CONNECT position. For all
breaker types, the operation load becomes heavy during
operation from the TEST position to the CONNECT position
or at the main circuit junction insertion position, but this is
not a fault.

(Caution)
(a) After completing the insertion, do not rotate the
drawout handle.
(b) The drawout position indicator shows the position
(CONNECT, TEST) when the lock plate is protruded.
When the lock plate is unlocked, it shows a
reference position.
(c) The breaker cannot be closed with the drawout
handle inserted.

Electric open/close operation
< Closing >
Opening operation can be performed electrically by using a
closing coil (CC). By applying the rated voltage to
A1
and
A2
on the control circuit terminal block, the breaker can be
closed.
The pumping preventing relay that performs only one oper-
ation with one input command is built in.
To close again, turn OFF the closing coil control supply
(between
A1
and
A2
) once, and apply the rated voltage
again. For a closing command to CC, wait at least a 0.5
sec. interval after completing charging and turning OFF the
breaker.
When an undervoltage trip device (UVT) is equipped, the
breaker does not close unless the power supply is applied.
(After applying the control supply to UVT, wait 1.5 sec. for
the closing operation to become available.)
If undervoltage tripping device（UVT）is UVT with
a-contact, wait for 1.8 sec. Instead of 1.5 sec.
(Caution)
For a closing command to CC after completing
charging, wait at least a 0.5 sec. interval. If a clos-
ing command is given within 0.5 sec. after charging
completion, the design life of the opening/closing
operation may be shortened.
In some cases, the breaker does not close by a
closing command given within 0.5 sec. after a
manual OFF operation or an OFF operation by SHT.
< Opening >
Opening operation can be performed electrically by using a
shunt trip device (SHT) or undervoltage trip device (UVT).
For SHT, apply a rated voltage to
C1
and
C2
of the control
circuit terminal block.
For UVT, open between the trip terminals
DT1
and
DT2
of the control circuit terminal block. (A short-circuit bar is
equipped when shipped from the factory. Remove this be-
fore using.)
Alternatively, turn OFF the voltage applied to
D1
and
D2
.
