Trouble shooting
Upon circuit breaker tripping
Identification of causes
Upon circuit breaker tripping, the circuit must never be re-closed, before having
identified and eliminated the tripping cause.
There may be multiple causes:
b depending on the type of control unit, refer to the appropriate manuals (see Sepam
user)
b in function of the type of fault and the priority of installation re-starting, certain
precautions should be taken, in particular insulation and dielectric tests on parts or on
the entire installation. These checks and tests must be piloted and conducted by
qualified personnel.

The circuit breaker on its truck was just racked-in:
b either by manually pushing it (manual version)
b or by using the handle (version using propulsion)
Selector rotation to the closing authorised position is
not possible.
The circuit breaker on its truck is in the test position after
