EntelliGuard R Circuit Breaker Retrofill AKD-6 Installation Manual DEH-41548 02/12

Check Before Installing

It must be ensured that the supply power

to the compartment is turned off/ compartment is

de-energized for all the incoming and outgoing

circuits of the LVS prior to any work being

conducted on it.

During the installation and related work on the

equipment, it must be ensured that the operator is

using the prescribed PPE for the specified tasks.

Ensure only qualified personnel install, operate, service, and maintain all electrical equipment.

These breakers are supported on a rollout track in the same manner as the AK breakers. However, since the rack-
out mechanism is mounted on the breaker, there are no jackshafts in the enclosure. Racking arms on both sides of
the breaker frame engage the drawout mechanism pins fastened to both sides of the compartment.

1. Check to see that the breaker or breakers match their respective compartments. Each breaker is assigned a

part or mark number.

2. Look on the breaker sheets summaries, the front view drawings, breaker nameplate, and on the identification

card on the breaker shipping carton.

3. To locate the breaker for its proper compartment, refer to the breaker location list on the front view drawing.

Find the proper breaker by the identification card on the breaker carton, or the mark number on the breaker
nameplate. All identical breakers have the same mark number.

Clean and Grease Breaker

1. Before installing or operating a breaker, refer to the breaker instruction manual for pre-operation inspection

and test.

2. Check thoroughly for any damaged or loose parts and for any dirt or foreign matter which may be in the

breaker.

3. Clean those areas if necessary with a clean, lint-free rag and isopropyl alcohol or acetone.
4. Be sure to apply a thin film of electrical grease (red, D50H47) to the contact areas (fingers) for better electrical

connections on the breaker.
