11 EntelliGuard R Circuit Breaker Retrofill AKD-5 Installation Manual DEH-41547 02/12
Quality
All EntelliGuard R circuit breakers have been designed and manufactured to ANSI standards. The design
was based on the original requirements from the Legacy Switchgear and Breaker. The product is
manufactured in the same factory as the AK and AKR; and is inspected using the same master gauges
used on the legacy AK, AKR breakers to confirm electrical and mechanical performance, including
rejections-features.
Information Label
On the side wall of each circuit breaker there is a detailed factory-assembled, side label that details all
features included on both the circuit breaker and on the trip unit.
Product and Catalog Serial Numbers
Product and catalog serial numbers should be kept handy when communicating about the circuit
breaker. Each circuit breaker has a unique serial number located on the left side (viewed from front) of
the front fascia.
Remove Circuit Breaker from Container
Inspect
1. Inspect the shipping container for obvious signs of rough handling and/or external damage incurred
during transportation.
2. Record any observed damage for reporting to the carrier. Ensure all recorded reports and claims
include the order number and name plate information.
3. Remove the banding straps and lift off the top cover.
4. Remove all packaging material.
5. Remove all product documentation and store properly.
6. Unscrew the mounting screws that fasten the circuit breaker to the bottom of the shipping palette
and remove the circuit breaker.
Use Lifting Truck
1. Use a lifting truck to lift and mount the assembly so that you can avoid personal injury or damaging
the breaker.
2. Contact the nearest sales office for availability of a hoisting device.
3. Avoid using hooks and chains since hooks can damage the fascia of the circuit breaker. Lifting bars
are available from GE.
• AK breakers use the EntelliGuard G lifting device.
• AKR breakers use the legacy lifting bar.
4. Pull out the ears of the AKD—5 so that the bar can be inserted through the ears for hoisting breaker
( Figure 7).
