Transportation Precaution
DANGER
z
Never stand under the ACB that has been lifted or suspended by a lifter or lifting attachments. The weight of the ACB may
cause serious injury.
Installation Precautions
CAUTION
z
Electrical work must be done by competent persons.
z
Do not place the ACB in such an area that is subject to high temperatures, high humidity, dusty air, corrosive gases, strong
vibration and shock, or other unusual conditions. Mounting the ACB in such an area could cause a fire or malfunction.
z
Be careful to prevent foreign objects (such as debris, concrete powder, dust, chippings, and iron powder) and oil or
rainwater from entering the ACB. These materials inside the ACB could cause a fire or malfunction.
z
Prior to commencing any work on the ACB, open an upstream circuit breaker or the like to isolate all sources of
power/voltage. Otherwise, electric shock may result.
z
Fix the draw-out cradle of the ACB firmly on a flat, level surface using mounting screws. Otherwise, the draw-out
operation may cause the breaker body or the draw-out cradle to fall, resulting in damage to the ACB or personal injury.
z
Take care not to deform or bend protrusions in the bottom face of the draw-out cradle when fixing the draw-out cradle with
mounting screws. Deformation of the protrusions may cause a malfunction.
z
When terminating conductors to the ACB, tighten terminal screws to the torque specified in this manual. Otherwise, a fire
could result.
z
For 4-pole ACBs, be sure to connect a 3-phase, 4-wire neutral conductor to the N-phase pole (on the right end). Otherwise,
an overcurrent may hinder the ACB from tripping, resulting in a fire.
Operation Precautions
DANGER
z
Never touch live terminal parts. Doing so will result in electric shock.
z
Do not leave the ACB body in the draw-out position. If the ACB body is accidentally dropped, its weight may cause
serious injury.
CAUTION
z
Do not force down the spring charging handle after completion of manual charging operation. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
z
The permissible operating voltage of the spring charging motor is 85 to 110% of the rated ac voltage or 75 to 110% of the
rated dc voltage. Be sure to supply a voltage within the above ranges to the motor. Otherwise, a malfunction, burnout, or fire
may result.
1 KRB-5249
Operation Precautions (continued)
CAUTION
z
Repeated open/close operation by the motor charging mechanism without pause should not exceed 15 times. If repeated
continuous open/close operation is inevitable, a pause of at least 20 minutes should be provided after the repetitions of 15
times. Otherwise, a spring charging motor may be burnt out.
z
Do not bring your hand or face close to arc gas vent of the arc chamber while the ACB is closed. Otherwise, a burn may
result from high-temperature arc gas blowing out of the arc gas vent when the ACB trips open.
z
If the ACB trips open automatically, remove the cause of tripping operation before re-closing the ACB. Otherwise, a fire
could result.
z
If the ACB has the breaker fixing bolts, be sure to loose the fixing bolts before draw-out operation. Otherwise, damage to
the ACB may result.
z
Make sure the draw-out cradle is secured with mounting screws before inserting or drawing out the breaker body.
Otherwise, the insertion or draw-out operation may cause the breaker body or the draw-out cradle to fall, resulting in
damage to the ACB or personal injury.
z
When retracting the draw-out rail into the draw-out cradle, be sure to push the rail end. Do not hold the hook pin, body
stopper, or body stopper shaft. Doing so may cause your fingers to be pinched, resulting in injury.
z
Do not forcedly turn the draw-out handle clockwise when the breaker body is in the “CONN.” position. Doing so may
cause a malfunction.
z
If the ACB has the breaker fixing bolts, make sure the bolts on both sides are securely tightened before using the ACB.
Loosened fixing bolts may cause a malfunction of the ACB, in particular when it is installed in such an area that is subject
to strong vibrations.
OCR (Overcurrent Release) Handling Precautions
CAUTION
z
OCR field tests and setting changes must be performed by competent persons.
z
After completion of OCR tests, be sure to return the settings to the original values. Failure to do so may cause a fire or
burnout.
Maintenance and Inspection Precautions
CAUTION
z
ACB maintenance, inspection and parts replacement must be performed by competent persons.
z
Do not touch ACB current carrying parts and ACB structural parts close to a current carrying part immediately after the
ACB trips open. Remaining heat may cause a burn.
z
Prior to commencing any work on the ACB, open an upstream circuit breaker or the like to isolate all sources of
power/voltage from the main and control circuits. Otherwise, electric shock may result.
z
Take care to avoid adhesion of dust to main and control circuit contacts. Dust on the contacts may result in a fire.
z
Prior to commencing maintenance, inspection, or parts replacement, make sure that the closing springs are released and the
ACB is open. Otherwise, unintentional open/close operation may lead to fingers or tools to be pinched by the open/close
mechanism, resulting in injury.
z
Retighten the terminal screws periodically to the specified torque. Otherwise, a fire could result.
z
When grinding a contact tip, be careful to prevent grinding dust from entering the breaker operating mechanism. Wipe the
tip clean after grinding. Otherwise, a malfunction or fire could result.
z
Do not perform dielectric withstand tests under other conditions than specified. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
z
Be sure to reinstall the arc chamber if removed. Failure to do so or incorrect installation of the arc chamber may result in a
fire or burn.
z
When charging the closing springs or performing open/close operation of the ACB with the arc chamber, front cover and/or
side covers removed during maintenance or inspection work, do not touch parts other than those required for the above
operation (charging handle, ON/OFF buttons, moving core and the like). Doing so may cause fingers or tools to be pinched,
resulting in injury.

4. OPERATION
4-1. Charging and Opening operation
DANGER
z
Never touch live terminal parts. Otherwise, electric shock may result.
CAUTION
z
Do not force down the spring charging handle after completion of manual charging operation. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
z
The permissible operating voltage of the spring charging motor is 85 to 110% of the rated ac voltage or 75 to 110% of the
rated dc voltage. Be sure to supply a voltage within the above ranges to the motor. Otherwise, burnout may result.
z
Repeated open/close operation by the motor charging mechanism without pause should not exceed 15 times. If repeated
continuous open/close operation is inevitable, a pause of at least 20 minutes should be provided after the repetitions of 15
times. Otherwise, a spring charging motor may be burnt out.
z
Do not bring your hand or face close to arc gas vent of the arc chamber while the ACB is energized. Otherwise, a burn may
result from high-temperature arc gas blowing out of the arc gas vent when the ACB trips open.
z
If the ACB trips open automatically, remove the cause of tripping operation before re-closing the ACB. Otherwise, a fire
could result.
z
If the ACB has the breaker fixing bolts, make sure the bolts on both sides are securely tightened before using the ACB.
Loosened fixing bolts may cause a malfunction of the ACB, in particular when it is installed in such an area that is subject
to strong vibrations.
The ACBs are available in two types in terms of the closing spring charging method and the remote operation capability: a
manual charging type and a motor charging type. The manual charging type requires the charging and ON-OFF (close/open)
operation to be done manually while the motor charging type allows the operation to be done either manually or by using a motor.
KRB-5249 16
z
Motor charging
When the charge indicator (Fig. 13 1 ) changes to “DISCHARGED” while both the specified operation and control voltages
are applied, the charging motor is activated to start charging the closing springs. Upon completion of the charging operation,
the charge indicator shows “CHARGED” and the charging motor is automatically deactivated. The time required for the
motor charging operation depends on the operation voltage or the ACB types, but does not exceed 10 seconds.
z
Electrical closing
Make sure both the specified operation and control voltages are applied, and then press the ON switch shown in Fig. 10. The
latch release coil (LRC) (Fig. 10) will be excited and the ACB is closed with a sound. The ON-OFF indicator (Fig. 13 10 )
shows "ON", the spring charge indicator (Fig. 13 1 ) shows "DISCHARGED", and the charging motor starts charging the
closing springs.
z
Electrical opening
Make sure both the specified operation and control voltages are applied, and then press the OFF switch shown in Fig. 10. The
shunt trip device (SHT) or the adjustable undervoltage trip device (UVT) (Fig. 10) will be excited so that the ACB trips open
with a sound. The ON-OFF indicator (Fig.13 10 ) shows "OFF".

5. OVERCURRENT RELEASE (OCR)
Options available for the type AR ACBs include a highly reliable, multi-functional overcurrent release (OCR) with a built-in 8-
bit microprocessor.
This OCR is supplied with power through a CT and main circuit current signals from current sensors. When the OCR detects a
fault, it sends a trip signal to the tripping coil (TC) or provides a trip indication or an alarm depending on the type of the fault.
The OCR uses the root mean square sensing for the long time delay (LTD), N-phase protection (NP), and pretrip alarm (PTA)
functions. (When six times the CT rated primary current is exceeded, the peak value sensing is used instead.) If a harmonic
current flows through the ACB continuously, the root mean square sensing allows the ACB to operate normally.
The OCR is available in the three types that follows:
z
AGR-22L L characteristic for general feeder (for works and transformer protection)
z
AGR-22R R characteristic for general feeder (3 characteristics conforming to IEC60255)
z
AGR-22S S characteristic for generator protection

•㩷Voltmeter㩷 㩷 •㩷Cables㩷 㩷 •㩷Power supplies (UVT and control power supplies)㩷
2) Open the ACB, turn off an upstream breaker to isolate the ACB main and control circuits from any power, and draw out the
ACB body to the “TEST” position.
3) Make sure existing control power cables 08 , 18 , 28 , 01 , 11 , and 21 are not energized and disconnect the cables, and then
arrange the testing circuit as shown in Fig. 40.

Checking the UVT attraction voltage
4) Gradually increase the UVT supply voltage ( 08 , 18 , 28 ) starting from zero until the UVT operation indication LED (Fig. 38
7 ) turns green. Because it takes about 2 seconds for the UVT to start attraction after the attraction voltage is applied, the
supply voltage must be increased stepwise at intervals of at least 2 seconds. The UVT characteristic is acceptable if the
supply voltage at which the UVT operation indication LED turns green falls within the specified range.
5) Manually close the ACB to make sure the ACB can be closed.
z
Checking the UVT tripping voltage
6) Increase the UVT supply voltage ( 08 , 18 , 28 ) to the rated voltage [Uc].
7) Gradually decrease the UVT supply voltage until the UVT operation indication LED (Fig. 38 7 ) turns red indicating the
ACB trips open. If a time delay is set, the UVT supply voltage must be decreased stepwise at appropriate intervals. The
UVT characteristic is acceptable if the supply voltage at which the UVT operation indication LED turns red is within {[Uc]
x 0.65} ±5%.
8) Remove the UVT supply voltage, and press the reset button (Fig. 38 9 ) to turn off the LED.
z
Checking the UVT trip timing
9) Apply the rated voltage [Uc] to the UVT power supply terminals ( 08 , 18 , 28 ) and manually close the ACB.
10) Rapidly decrease the UVT supply voltage to [Uc] x 0.4 or less. At this time, use a stopwatch to measure the time required
for the UVT operation indication LED (Fig. 38 7 ) to turn red indicating the ACB trips open. The UVT characteristic is
acceptable if the time required for the UVT operation indication LED to turn red falls within the specified range.
11) Remove the UVT supply voltage, and press the reset button (Fig. 38 9 ) to turn off the LED.
12) Remove the testing circuit and restore the ACB wiring, body position and power supply.

6. MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION AND PARTS REPLACEMENT
This chapter describes the maintenance and inspection procedure for the AR series ACBs.
The service life of the ACB depends on the working and environmental conditions. The ACB is exposed to mechanical and
electrical stresses and thus suffers gradual degradation during use, which will increase the possibility of malfunctions. Preventive
maintenance and periodical inspection are very important to avoid any functional degradation, prevent malfunctions, extend the
service life, and ensure safe operation.
The appropriate frequency of maintenance and inspection of the ACB varies depending on the installation conditions, the number
of tripping operations, the magnitude of breaking current, and other factors that are to be considered empirically. As a guideline,
Table 24 shows the recommended inspection frequency. See section 6-1 for detailed maintenance and inspection procedures.
z
About the service life
The expected service life of AR series ACBs is shown in the "Endurance in number of ON-OFF cycles" rows in Tables 3 and
4. "With maintenance" in the tables means that appropriate inspection, maintenance, repair, and parts replacement are
performed according to the instructions in this chapter. But, when an ACB performs three times of tripping operation nearly at
the rated breaking current (three standard operating duty cycles), it is at the end of its safe service life even if thorough
inspection is done every time it trips open. Such an ACB will be apt to suffer malfunctions and should be replaced without
delay to avoid frequent inspection and parts replacement.
See section 6-2 for detailed parts replacement procedures.
43 KRB-5249
6-1. Inspection Procedures
CAUTION
z
ACB maintenance, inspection and parts replacement must be performed by competent persons.
z
Do not touch ACB current carrying parts and ACB structural parts close to a current carrying part immediately after the
ACB trips open. Remaining heat may cause a burn.
z
Prior to commencing any work on the ACB, open an upstream circuit breaker or the like to isolate all sources of
power/voltage from the main and control circuits. Otherwise, electric shock may result.
z
Take care to avoid adhesion of dust to main and control circuit contacts. Dust on the contacts may result in a fire.
z
Prior to commencing maintenance, inspection, or parts replacement, make sure that the closing springs are released and the
ACB is open. Otherwise, unintentional open/close operation may lead to fingers or tools to be pinched by the open/close
mechanism, resulting in injury.
z
Retighten the terminal screws periodically to the specified torque. Otherwise, a fire could result.
z
When grinding a contact tip, be careful to prevent grinding dust from entering the breaker operating mechanism. Wipe the
tip clean after grinding. Otherwise, a malfunction or fire could result.
z
Do not perform dielectric withstand/insulation resistance tests under other conditions than specified. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
z
Be sure to reinstall the arc chamber if removed. Failure to do so or incorrect installation of the arc chamber may result in a
fire or burn.
z
When charging the closing springs or performing open/close operation of the ACB with the arc chamber, front cover and/or
side covers removed during maintenance or inspection work, do not touch parts other than those required for the above
operation (charging handle, ON/OFF buttons, moving core and the like). Doing so may cause fingers or tools to be pinched,
resulting in injury.
z
When replacing an auxiliary, do not damage the control wire for the auxiliary or pinch the wire between the auxiliary and
the breaker body. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
To ensure safety, be sure to perform the preparation work described in section 6-2-1 unless otherwise specified in the inspection
procedures. The normal inspection procedure and the detailed inspection procedure are shown in Tables 26 and 27 respectively.

6-2. Parts Replacement Procedure㩷
CAUTION
z
ACB maintenance, inspection and parts replacement must be performed by competent persons.㩷
z
Do not touch ACB current carrying parts and ACB structural parts close to a current carrying part immediately after the
ACB trips open. Remaining heat may cause a burn.㩷
z
Prior to commencing any work on the ACB, open an upstream circuit breaker or the like to isolate all sources of
power/voltage from the main and control circuits. Otherwise, electric shock may result.㩷
z
Take care to avoid adhesion of dust to main and control circuit contacts. Dust on the contacts may result in a fire. 㩷
z
Prior to commencing maintenance, inspection, or parts replacement, make sure that the closing springs are released and the
ACB is open. Otherwise, unintentional open/close operation may lead to fingers or tools to be pinched by the open/close
mechanism, resulting in injury.㩷
z
Be sure to reinstall the arc chamber if removed. Failure to do so or incorrect installation of the arc chamber may result in a
fire or burn.㩷
z
When replacing an auxiliary, do not damage the control wire for the auxiliary or pinch the wire between the auxiliary and
the breaker body. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
