It
is
designed

application
and
service
;
therefore
*
the
dimensional
data
is
given
ixi
both
the
me

trie
and
English
systems
.
The
hardware
is
based
on
the
metric
system
.
It
is
composed
of
three
separate
poles
supported
by
a
welded
steel
frame
(
1
)
and
provided
with
wheels
(
2
)
so
it
can
be
easily
moved
in
and
out
of
its
cell
.
Each
pole
consists
of
two
separate
parts
:
(

)
Arc

Is
a
chamber
filled
with ceramic
baffles
.
It
has
a
magnetic
structure
that
forces
the
arc
into
constric

tions
provided
by
the
baffling
.
The
magnetic
field
is
generated
by
coils

)
within

and
the
arcing
contacts
,
fixed
(

.
The
main
contacts
,
of
silver
plated
copper
,
carry
the
normal
service
current
.
They
are
not
affected
by
the
interruption
since
they
open
before
the
arcing
contacts

.
The
fixed

are
made
with
tungsten

copper
arc
resistant
inlays
and
are
capable
of

interrupting

current
without
damage
.
The
puffer
nozzles
(

)
are
located
under
the fixed

The

group
is
operated
by
the

The
metal

A

General
Maintenance

PERIODIC
INSPECTION
A
schedule
for
maintenance
of
a

is
included
in
Appendix

.
3
;
In
addition
\
o
the
listed
operation
it
is
recommended
to
carefully
clean
the
breaker
at
least
every
six
months
.
The
contacts
and
arc
chutes
should
be
frequently
and
carefully
inspected
,
as
instructed
in
6.1
.
1
-
6.1
.
5
,
if
the
breaker
has
been
subjected
to
frequent
operations
on
short
circuits
or
overload
.
The
breaker
,
and
in
particular
the
operating
mechanism
,
should
be
frequency
inspected
if
the
breaker
has
been
subjected
,
to
dust
or
corrosive
industrial
atmospheres
.
for
defects
,
especially
the
condition
of
the
con
-
strictor

.
(

If
further
transportation
is
required
,
the
arc
-
chutes
must
be
repacked
,
as
they
were
received
,
in
the
original
crates
.
(

)
The
arc
-
chutes
must
not
be
transported
individ
-
ually
lying
on
their
sides
because
of
the
various
fragile
porcelain
parts
