Safety hints:
Securing against falling parts
Hint 1 Place a cloth into the lower area of the arcing
contact [Fig. a]. Remember to secure the closing drive
according to Hint 3.
Fig. a Protecting of the arcing area against falling parts
Maintenance with zero voltage release
Hint 2 If an optional zero voltage release is installed, it
must be energized to enable closing of the breaker. Only
then maintenance of the arcing contacts is possible.
Hint 3 To prevent the risk of injury, it is recommended
to secure the breaker in the closed position with a simple
mechanical interlock device [Fig. b]. A piece of tubing
having ~50 mm [~2 in] length and inner diameter of
minimum 14 mm [0,55 in] works well. The outer diameter
of the locking rod shall be less 8 mm [0,3 in]. GE does not
offer this locking device.
