SECTION 4: INITIAL INSPECTION AND IN-

STALLATION

4 1 INTRODUCTION



WARNING

BEFORE PLACING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IN SERVICE, CAREFULLY FOLLOW

THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE GIVEN BELOW. NOT FOLLOWING THE

PROCEDURE CAN FAIL TO UNCOVER SHIPPING DAMAGE THAT MAY

RESULT IN INCORRECT CIRCUIT BREAKER OPERATION LEADING TO DEATH,

BODILY INJURY, AND EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.

Before attempting to place a circuit breaker in service, it should be

carefully examined and operated manually and electrically. In addi-

tion, carefully examine the breaker for loose or obviously damaged

parts. The following information is a guide for performing recom-

mended checks and tests.



CAUTION

BEFORE INSERTING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER EXAMINE THE INSIDE OF

THE CELL STRUCTURE FOR EXCESSIVE DIRT OR ANYTHING THAT MIGHT

INTERFERE WITH THE CIRCUIT BREAKER MOVEMENT.



WARNING

EXTREME CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED TO INSURE THAT PRIMARY

CIRCUITS ARE NOT ENERGIZED WHILE CHECKS ARE PERFORMED IN THE

CIRCUIT BREAKER COMPARTMENT. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN

PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

The circuit breaker is normally tested electrically in its cell structure

in the TEST position. To achieve the TEST position, the circuit breaker

must first be placed in the cell structure and the secondary contacts

engaged. To complete this testing procedure, the operator should

first be familiar with inserting and removing the circuit breaker into

and from the cell structure.



WARNING

DO NOT PULL ON OR USE THE MAIN (PRIMARY) CONDUCTORS AND OR

THE PRIMARY DISCONNECTS TO MANEUVER THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IN

ANY FASHION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS CAUTION COULD RESULT

IN SIGNIFICANT EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. .

4-8.1 CIRCUIT BREAKER INSERTION AND REMOVAL

The drawout VCPW-HD circuit breaker is designed to be in one of

three different positions within the structure with the door closed,

DISCONNECT, TEST and CONNECT. Before inserting the breaker into

the structure be sure that the cell secondary slider is in the front

most position. (See Section 5-4.3) While in the structure, the circuit

breaker should never be allowed to remain in an intermediate posi-

tion between the TEST and CONNECT positions.

a) DISCONNECT POSITION: (See Figures 4-3 to 4-5)

Position the circuit breaker squarely in front of the structure.

Integrally mounted wheels facilitate circuit breaker movement out-

side of and into the structure. Once the side mounted circuit breaker

alignment rollers are aligned with the structure mounted alignment

rails, pull the shoot bolt handles in to retract the shoot bolt pins on

the side of the breaker. Then push the breaker into the structure until

the pins line up with the first set of slots in the cell rail blocks.

b) TEST POSITION: (See Figures 4-3, 4-4 & 4-6)

Pull the shoot bolt handles in, which will remove the retractable

pins from the first set of slots in the structure alignment rail blocks

and then push the circuit breaker in until the pins line up with the

second set of slots. Then release the shoot bolt handles making sure

handles return back to their outer most position. If handles are not in

outer most position the breaker will not be able to be racked in.

Immediately after insertion into the TEST position (while the motor

is still running) pull the secondary ring handles to ensure secondary

connection is fully made. (See Section 5-4.3.)

c) CONNECT POSITION: (See Figure 4-7 & 4-8)

To move the circuit breaker from the TEST to CONNECT position,

the breaker must be open. Insert the levering in crank socket onto

the square racking screw on breaker, push in firmly to release the

screw rotational interlock and begin turning the handle in a clockwise

direction. If using a motor racking device, ensure that the rotational

interlock is released with the door closed and motor installed prior

to racking. When the circuit breaker reaches the CONNECT position,

the racking screw will stop turning. The torque limiter on the racking

device will slip to prevent damage to the circuit breaker.

When FULLY in the CONNECT (and TEST) positions the square end

of the racking screw on the breaker will be in a diamond shape.

Secondary switches are driven by the screw position for both

CONNECT and TEST positions so it must be fully rotated in both

positions. (See Figure 4-2.)

Figure 4-2. VCPW-HD Racking Screw rotational position when

fully in CONNECT & TEST positions.

To remove the circuit breaker from the structure, reverse the proce-

dure just described by turning the levering crank in a counterclock-

wise direction. Keep in mind that you cannot remove a breaker from

the CONNECT position if it is closed.
