Shunt Trip

The Shunt Trip allows the breaker to be opened remotely by

the EntelliGuard Messenger™. It is always provided on

electrically operated breakers. The catalog number and

operating voltage for the Shunt Trip are listed in Table D-1.

For installation instructions see DEH168 or DEH169.

The Shunt Trip causes the circuit breaker to trip when its coil

is energized. An “A” auxiliary switch, which is closed when

the breaker is closed, is in series with the Shunt Trip coil, as

illustrated in Figure D-1. The external tripping source is

connected to positions 5 and 7 on the secondary disconnect.

Charging Motor

The Charging Motor provides a means of electrically charging

the springs that close the breaker. The Charging Motor is

available only as a factory-installed option. It is always

provided on electrically operated breakers.

The circuit breaker closing springs are charged automatically

when 120Vac is applied to terminals 8 and 17 of the

secondary disconnect. When the springs are fully charged, a

cutoff switch automatically de-energizes the motor. The

closing springs will recharge automatically after the breaker

closes.

Remote Close

The Remote Close accessory provides a means of remotely

closing the circuit breaker after the closing springs have

been charged. It is always provided on electrically operated

breakers. The catalog number and operating voltage for the

Remote Close accessory are listed in Table D-2. For

installation instructions see DEH-172 or DEH-173.

Table D-2. Catalog number and operating voltage for the Remote Close

accessory.

A circuit breaker equipped with the Remote Close accessory

can be closed remotely by applying control voltage to

terminals 9 and 18 of the secondary disconnect.

The Remote Close accessory is continuously rated and has an

antipump feature that prevents a motor-operated breaker

from repeatedly closing if the closing signal is maintained.

The closing control voltage must be removed for 1–2.5

seconds and then reapplied for each breaker closure.

Open-Fuse Lockout

The Open-Fuse Lockout is supplied on integrally fused

breakers or when the breaker is used in combination with a

Fuse Rollout Element. When any fuse blows, the Open-Fuse

Lockout trips the breaker to prevent single-phasing. This

accessory is available only as a factory-installed option.

The Open-Fuse Lockout contains an individual trip solenoid

for each pole, connected directly across the fuse in that

phase. When any fuse blows, its solenoid is energized and

trips the breaker. An indicator shows which fuse has blown.

The breaker is mechanically trip-free and cannot be reclosed

until the Open-Fuse Lockout is reset.

The Open-Fuse Lockout is internally wired to the fuses on

800- and 1,600-ampere frame breakers. On 2,000-, 3,200-,

4,000-, and 5,000-ampere frame breakers, the Open-Fuse

Lockout is wired to the secondary disconnect as illustrated in

Figure D-3. The Open-Fuse Lockout connects to the fuses in

a Fuse Rollout Element through the secondary disconnect.
