MAINTENANCE CLOSING:
During Inspection prior to installation and
for routine maintenance Inspections, the breaker contacts may be closed
slowly to check clearances, contact adjustments. and movement of links
and latches. The manual closing handle is used for maintenance closing
the breaker.
Electrically•operated breakers do not have a manual closing handle, but
a manual closing handle-cam assembly is available as a maintenance item.
Figure
5
shows the maintenance closing handle being Inserted in an
electrically-operated breaker after removal of the front cover from the
breaker. When the hole in the maintenance closing handle assembly is
aligned with the holes in the operating mechanism frame, the pin which
is attached to the chain Is inserted, This pin holds the assembly In
place and acts as a pivot point for the cam.
After insertion of the maintenance closing handle assembly on the
electrically-operated breaker, the actual maintenance closing operation
is the same fo1· both the electrically-operated breaker and the manually
operated breaker. Refer to Table
