or servicing the ACB.

In this manual, safety notices are divided into “DANGER” and “CAUTION” according to the hazard level:

DANGER : A danger notice with this symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in

death or serious injury.

CAUTION : A caution notice with this symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in

minor or moderate injury and/or property damage.

Note that failure to observe a caution notice could result in serious injury/damage in some situations. Because safety notices contain

important information, be sure to read and observe them.

n Transportation Precaution
DANGER
l 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.
n Installation Precautions
CAUTION
l Electrical work must be done by competent persons.
l 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.
l 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.
l Prior to commencing any work on the ACB, open an upstream circuit bre aker or the like to isolate all sources of
power/voltage. Otherwise, electric shock may result.
l 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.
l 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.
l When terminating conductors to the ACB, tighten terminal screws to the torque specified in this manual. Otherwise, a fire
could result.
l 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.
n Operation Precautions
DANGER
l Never touch live terminal parts. Doing so will result in electric shock.
l 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
l Do not force down the charging handle after completion of manual charging operation. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
l 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.

-5- KRB-5258
n Operation Precautions (continued)
CAUTION
l 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.
l 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.
l If the ACB trips open automatically, remove the cause of tripping operation before re-closing the ACB. Otherwise, a fire
could result.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l Do not forcedly turn the draw-out handle clockwise when the breaker body is in the “CONN.” position. Doing so may cause a
malfunction.
l 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.

n OCR (Overcurrent Release) Handling Precautions

CAUTION
l OCR setting changes must be performed by competent persons.
l Use a small flatblade screwdriver with a torque of not more than 0.1 N·m or a force of not more than 0.1 N when adjusting the
setting switches (rotary step switches or slide switches). An excessive torque or force may cause a malfunction.

n Maintenance and Inspection Precautions

CAUTION
l ACB maintenance, inspection and parts replacement must be performed by competent persons.
l 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.
l 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.
l Take care to avoid adhesion of dust to main and control circuit contacts. Dust on the contacts may result in a fire.
l 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.
l Retighten the terminal screws periodically to the specified torque. Otherwise, a fire could result.
l 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.
l Do not perform dielectric withstand tests under other conditions than specified. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.

4. OPERATION
4-1. Charging and Opening operation
DANGER
l Never touch live terminal parts. Otherwise, electric shock may result.

CAUTION
l Do not force down the charging handle after completion of manual charging operation. Doing so may cause a malfunction.
l 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.
l 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.
l 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.
l If the ACB trips open automatically, remove the cause of tripping operation before re-closing the ACB. Otherwise, a fire
could result.
l 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.

4-1-1. Charging operation

The ACB can be closed only when the closing springs have been charged. Be sure to charge the closing springs before closing the
ACB. The charging operation is permitted, regardless of whether the ACB is ON (closed) or OFF (open). The pro cedure for charging
the closing springs is as follows:
l Manual charging
Pump the charging handle (Fig. 17 ◯2 ) until the charge indicator (Fig. 17 ◯1 ) shows “CHARGED” Pumping the handle with the full
stroke 10 - 13 times will fully charge the closing springs.

l Motor charging
When the charge indicator (Fig. 17 ◯1 ) changes to “DISCHARGED” while the specified operation voltage is applied to the control
circuit terminals □02 and □22 , 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.

4-1-2. Closing operation

The ACB closing operation is not permitted unless all of the following conditions are met.
1) The charge indicator (Fig. 17 ◯1 ) shows "CHARGED".
2) The position indicator (Fig. 17 ◯3 ) shows "CONN.", "TEST" or "ISOLATED" (a halfway position not permitted).
3) The draw-out handle is not inserted in the draw-out handle insertion hole(Fig. 17 ◯5 ) .
4) The OFF button (Fig. 17 ◯6 ) is not locked with the lock-in-OFF plate (Fig. 17 ◯7 ).
5) The specified voltage is supplied to the undervoltage trip device .
l Manual closing
Open the ON-OFF button cover (Fig. 17 ◯8 ) and press the ON button (Fig. 17 ◯9 ). The ACB will be closed with a sound. The ON-
OFF indicator (Fig. 17 ◯10 ) shows "ON" and the charge indicator (Fig. 17 ◯1 ) shows "DISCHARGED".
l Electrical closing
Press the ON switch shown in Fig. 14. The latch release coil (LRC) (Fig. 14) will be excited and the ACB is closed with a sound. The
ON-OFF indicator (Fig. 17 ◯10 ) shows "ON", the charge indicator (Fig. 17 ◯1 ) shows "DISCHARGED", and the charging motor starts
charging the closing springs.

4-1-3. Opening operation

l Manual opening
Open the ON-OFF button cover (Fig. 17 ◯8 ) and press the OFF button (Fig. 17 ◯16 ). The ACB will trip open with a sound. The ON-
OFF indicator (Fig. 17 ◯10 ) shows "OFF".
l Electrical opening
Press the OFF switch shown in Fig. 14. The shunt trip device (SHT) or the fixed type undervoltage trip device (Fig. 14) will be
excited so that the ACB trips open with a sound. The ON-OFF indicator (Fig. 17 ◯10 ) shows "OFF".

4-2. Draw-out and Insertion Operation
4-2-1. General
The draw-out type ACB consists of the breaker body and the draw -out cradle. The main and control circuit terminals are installed on
the draw-out cradle, which permits you to draw out and inspect or service the breaker body without the need for removing wiring
from the terminals.
The draw-out mechanism allows you to move the breaker body to any of the four positions as shown in Fig. 22. The switchboard
panel door can be shut with the breaker body drawn out to the CONN., TEST or ISOLATED position.

Fig. 22 Positions of breaker body in draw-out cradle

l Operation Durability
The AR series ACBs are designed to ensure the operation durability of 100 draw -out and insertion cycles in conformance to IEC
60947-1 (one cycle means that the breaker body is drawn out from the CONN. position to the Rem oved position and inserted back to
the CONN. position). Draw-out and insertion operation of more than 100 cycles could abrade the main circuit contacts, resulting in
an overheat of the contacts during energization.

4-2-2. Draw-out operation
DANGER
l Never touch live terminal parts. Otherwise, electric shock may result.
l Do not leave the ACB body in the removed position. The weight of the ACB may cause serious injury.

CAUTION
l If the ACB has the breaker fixing bolts, be sure to loosen the bolts on both sides before draw-out operation. Otherwise,
damage to the ACB may result.
l Make sure the draw-out cradle is secured with mounting screws before drawing out the breaker body. 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.
l 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 pinc hed, resulting in injury.

Use the separate draw-out handle to draw-out the breaker body.

4-2-2-1. Moving the breaker body from the CONN. position to the TEST position
1) Open the ACB. (If the ACB remains closed, the draw-out handle (Fig. 23 ◯1 ) cannot be inserted).

5. OVERCURRENT RELEASE (OCR)
Options available for the type AR ACBs include a highly reliable, multi -functional overcurrent release (OCR) with a built-in 16-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 magnet hold trigger (MHT) or provides a trip indication or a n alarm depending on the type of the fault.
The OCR uses the root mean square sensing for the long time delay (LTD), and N -phase protection (NP) functions. (When six times
the CT rated primary current is exceeded, the peak value sensing is used instead.) I f 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 type that follows:
l AGR-11BL L characteristic for general feeder (for works and transformer protection)
