Figure 9
Circuit Breaker in Shipping Carton
When a metal-clad switchgear assembly is
installed in a Power Control Room, a circuit
breaker housed in the lower circuit breaker
compartment may be shipped installed in the
equipment. In these cases, the circuit breaker
will be in the test/disconnected position and
it will be bolted to the compartment floor by
use of a shipping bracket (
). The
horizontal leg of the bracket is bolted to the
compartment floor and the vertical leg is
bolted to the front of the circuit breaker using
the lower cover bolts. Remove these bolts,
discard the shipping angle, and then replace
the cover bolts.
