MANUALLY OPERATED BREAKERS :
Speed of closing is independent of the
speed of handle movement.
Initially breaker is OFF.
1. For carrying out any operation, the
breaker-operating handle has to be
pulled out fully by holding its top
portion.
2. For extra leverage, the handle can
be telescoped lengthwise
(recommended)
o
3. Rotate the handle by 90 in anti
clockwise direction to reset the ACB.
RESETTING :
Turn the operating handle anti-clockwise
till it becomes horizontal. The breaker will
trip at the beginning of the resetting
operation, if it is in closed condition.
o
4. Rotate the handle by 90 in
clockwise direction to close ACB.
CLOSING :
Turn the handle clockwise till it
becomes vertical.
5. After completing the operation
ensure that the handle is placed
Back in the cavity on the front facia
The sequence of operation is
RESET CLOSE OPEN
Caution :
Resetting the ACB in ON condition will
cause ACB to trip.
Precaution :
Ensure presence of supply voltage to
undervoltage release (if fitted) before
closing the ACB.
In case of manual reset type ACB
actuation of TRIP push button / key of
lockable trip push button, resets the
tripping mechanism of ACB

OPENING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER :
The breaker can be opened by following
means :
LOCALLY (Manually) :
1. Press the TRIP push button
2. Press key of lockable trip push button
(When provided).
3. Press key of racking interlock for
draw out breakers (if provided) when
the breaker is in any position between
Service and Test.
4. Operate handle anti-clockwise.
REMOTELY (Electrically) :
1. Through shunt release
2. Through under voltage release
(Refer section 9: Accessories)

BREAKER :
Initially breaker is OFF & Spring is
discharged
Spring condition is indicated by a
mechanical indicator visible through a
transparent window on the front facia.

YELLOW

CHARGED
DISCHARGED
The spring in the circuit breaker operating
mechanism must be charged to store the
energy required to close the main
contacts. The spring may be charged
manually using the charging handle or
automatically by the motor.
Electrical Charging :
The spring is automatically charged &
automatically recharged after each
closing. (Provided there is a continuous
supply to the motor)
Manual Charging :
Incase of power failure. Charge the main
spring through multiple strokes of
charging handle. The handle has to
pulled outward by gripping its top portion.
o
Charge by giving small strokes (25 ) in the clockwise direction till indicator display shows a spring
charged condition (Yellow colour).
Now the breaker is OFF and spring is charged.

CLOSING THE CIRCUIT BREAKER :
(Ensure precautions before closing same
as manual ACBs)
Breaker is OFF & spring is charged.
LOCALLY (Manually)
Press ON push button.
REMOTELY (Electrically)
The closing electro magnet when
actuated, discharges the spring & closes
the breaker.
OPENING :
The methods of opening are same as those for manually operated breakers (except method 4 of local
opening).
OPERATIONAL FEATURES
ANTI-PUMPING :
After a close - open cycle, it is not possible to reclose the breaker (for electrically operated breakers) if
the closing command is maintained. This feature know as anti-pumping, is assured mechanically, both
in local and remote control operation. This feature prevents auto reclosure of breaker on fault. For
reclosing the breaker, the permanent closing command should be momentarily interrupted.
TRIP FREE MECHANICAL SWITCHING : (Both for Manually & Electrically operated breakers)
The moving contacts of the breaker return & remain in open position, when the opening operation is
initiated after initiation of closing command. In this case the closing command is overruled by the
tripping command.

The indicator on the front, shows the position of the circuit breaker in the Cradle.
Service position : In service position both Power and Control circuits are connected.
Isolated position : In isolated position both Power and Control circuits are disconnected from
supply to ensure complete isolation.
Test position : In test position Power circuit is open ensuring full safety, while Control circuit is
connected for checking accessories as well as breaker operation.

PROCEDURE :
1. Racking operation must be done with
the aid of racking handle, provided in
racking handle storage location.
2. Insert the racking handle in the
racking position.
3. For rack-in rotate racking handle in
clockwise direction and in anti
clockwise direction to rack-out.
Racking out Caution :
Open the circuit breaker before
racking in / out.
Note :
I. If the panel is open, keep the door
interlock key pressed during racking.
II. If racking interlock is provided press
the key inwards and turn it clockwise
before racking.
4. Remove the racking handle from the
racking position, ensuring the breaker
in SERVICE position.
5. After completion of racking operation
ensure that the racking handle is kept
in its exact storage location.
