AIR
CIRCUIT
BREAKERS
WESTINGHOUSE
AIR
CIRCUIT
BREAKERS
TYPE
"
Type
"
DB
"
air
circuit
breaker
is
designed
to
give
continuous
and
reliable
service
as
the
protective
link
between
the
power
source
and
associated
pro
-
ductive
equipment
.
This
breaker
is
built
to
operate
with
a
minimum
of
main
-
tenance
,
while
at
the
same
time
its
simplified
construction
permits
maximum
accessibility
for
inspection
and
adjustment
when
required
.
The
ease
with
which
attachments
may
be
added
or
removed
is
an
outstanding
feature
of
the
"
DB
"
design
.
For
the
greatest
measure
of
safety
to
operating
personnel
and
also
to
min
-
imize
maintenance
requirements
,
the
breaker
should
be
mounted
in
an
enclosure
suitable
to
local
operating
conditions
.
A
selection
of
standard
enclosures
is
available
for
various
applications
.
Important
:
To
assure
proper
functioning
,
inspect
each
breaker
at
reg
-
ular
intervals
in
accordance
with
a
systematic
maintenance
schedule
.
The
frequency
and
character
of
the
inspections
will
for
the
most
part
be
determined
by
the
severity
of
the
duty
performed
.
The
minimum
requirements
,
however
,
should
consist
of
a
light
monthly
inspection
,
with
a
thorough
inspection
semi
-
annually
.
Occasional
checks
on
cali
-
bration
as
well
as
on
coordination
and
freedom
of
all
moving
parts
,
must
be
included
in
the
maintenance
schedule
.
Consult
Westinghouse
engineering
and
service
personnel
for
recommendations
pertaining
to
special
operating
or
maintenance
conditions
.

"
,
Part
III
of
this
book
.
Note
:
It
is
not
advisable
to
lubricate
any
parts
of
the breaker
.
The
lubrication
supplied
during
factory
assembly
is
sufficient
for
years
of
service
.
The
lubricant
is
of
a
special
form
which
is
used
sparingly
.
The addition
of
oil
will
only
promote
the
accumulation
of
dust
and dirt

INSPECTION
The
"
DB
"
breaker
assembly
consists
of
a
co
-
or
-
dinated
group
of
sub
-
assemblies
mounted
on
a
sup
-
porting
panel
.
The
complete
breaker
assembly
is
to
be
mounted
with
the
panel
in
a
vertical
position
.
All
inspections
for
proper
operation
should
,
therefore
,
be
made with the breaker
in
this
position
.
Final
in
-
spection
should
preferably
be
made
with
the
break
-
er
in
its
permanent
mounting
.
Inspect
the breaker
as
follows
:
1
.
Lift
trip
finger by
hand
to
make
sure
that
it
does
not
bind
.
2
.
Remove
any
foreign
particles
from
the
hinge
end
of
the
moving
contacts
.
3
.
Insert
the
maintenance
operating
handle and
slowly
close
the
breaker
.
STORING
If
circuit
breakers
are
not to
be
installed
in
their
permanent
locations
at
once
,
they
should
be
care
-
fully
inspected
for
loose
or
damaged
parts
and then
stored
in
a
clean
,
dry
place
in
an
upright
position
to
avoid
damage
to
the
circuit
breaker
parts
.
A
covering
of
paper
will
prevent
dust
from
settling
on
the
circuit
breaker
parts
and
is
preferred
to
packing
or
other materials which
are
apt
to
absorb
moisture
.
FOR
SAFETY REASONS
,
STORE
THE
BREAKER
IN
THE
OPEN
POSITION
.

.
The
connecting
cables
or
bus
bars
should

conducted
to
the
circuit
breaker
resulting
in
possible
excessive
temperature
rise
.
Connecting
cables

the
circuit
breaker
studs
will
not
be
subjected
to
unnecessary
stresses
.
ENCLOSURES
The
breaker
is
normally
mounted
in
the
enclosure
along
with
accompanying
bus
work
terminating
in
cable
clamps
.

covers
are
mounted
on
en
-
closures
,
they
are
to
be
removed
and
drilled
to
provide
for
connecting
cable
.
All
connections
should
be
clean
,
smooth
and
free
from
burrs
to
assume
full
contact
area
.
They
should
be
firmly
clamped
or
bolted
in
place
to
prevent
excessive
heating
.
Cable
must
be

angle
mounting
bracket
and
merely
have
to
be
loosened
;
they
do
not
have
to
be
removed
from
the
mounting
frame
.
The
trip
unit
is
then
free
to
be
removed
from
the
breaker
by
lowering
it
down
behind
the
breaker
platform
.
To
install
a
tripping
device
on
a
breaker
,
first
make
certain
that
the
breaker
is
open
and
is
not
connected
to
live
circuits
.
Then
loosen
the
upper
mounting
bolts
on
the
trip
unit
so
that
the
bolts
can
slide
into
the
slotted
mounting
brackets
on
the
stationary
yoke
.
Then
install
the
trip
unit
from
the
bottom
of
the
breaker
,
sliding
it
up
behind
the
mechanism
platform
.
Start
the
bottom
two
mounting
bolts
,
but
do
not
tighten
completely
.
Next
,
align
the
trip
unit
so
that
the
gaps
between
the
tapered
portions
of
the
main
armature
are
approximately
equal
when
the
main
armature
is
closed
.
Then
tighten
all
four
mounting
bolts
securely
.
Adjustment
of
Trip
Screw
.
The
trip
screw
mounted
on
the
trip
finger
must
be
adjusted
properly
to
obtain
proper
tripping
.
Caution
:
Since
this
adjustment
involves
tripping
the
breaker
,
care
must
be
taken
to
keep
fingers
and
face
away
from
all
contact
arms
and
operating
linkage
.
To
proceed
with
the
adjustment
,
turn
the
long
time
dial
at
the
bottom
of
the
calibration
box
counter
-
clockwise
to
the
stop
so
that
the
trip
unit
is
set
for
minimum
time
delay
.
Then
close
the
breaker
and
carefully
reach
under
the
mechanism
with
both
hands
and
push
the
lower
armature
fully
closed
with
the
thumbs
.
Hold
it
closed
for
at
least
the
minimum
long
delay
time
(
20
to
40
seconds
)
.
If
the
breaker
trips
,
reset
the
screw
at
the
end
of
the
tripping
finger
until
the
breaker
just
barely
trips
.
Before
re
-
adjusting
the
trip
screw
,
make
sure
that
the
breaker
is
in
the
open
position
.
After
finding
the
position
of
the
trip
screw
at
which

MAINTENANCE
armature
(
B
)
to
be attracted toward
the
stationary
core
(
A
)
.
The
motion
of
the
armature
is
retarded
by
the
diaphragm
(
D
)
whose
motion
is
in
turn
controlled
by
the
amount
of
air
admitted
by
the
long
time
delay
valve
(
F
)
.
After
a
time
delay
,
determined
by
the
setting
of
valve
(
F
)
,
the
armature
will
have rotated
the
trip
crank
(
J
)
far
enough
to
trip
the
breaker
by
moving
the
trip
lever
(
K
)
.
During
this
type
of
tripping
,
the
tension
spring
(
C
)
is
not
stressed
beyond
its
normal
length
.
On
larger
overload
currents
,
the
action
is
essen
-
tially
the
same
as
above
except
that
the
moving
armature
(
B
)
will close
completely
as soon as
the
overload
is
applied
.
When
the
armature
closes
,
the
just
trips
,
turn
the
screw
exactly
one
full
turn
in
the
direction
to
trip
the
breaker
sooner
.
Check
to
make
sure
that
the breaker will
trip
when either
armature
is
closed
if
long
and
instantaneous
type
trip
units
are
used
,
or
when both
armatures
are
closed
if
long
and short
delay
type
trip
units
are
used
.
The short
delay
armature
is
for
timing
only
.
Closing
it
alone will
not
trip
the
breaker
.
