3.2.7 Forced tripping release (Code 13)

Optionally, the forced tripping release (FT) can be installed
in the breaker [Fig. 6]. This mechanical trip releases the

breaker, by pressing the pin located in the bottom plate.
Force required to trip the breaker is about 110 N (~25 ft-

lb). The tripping pin position is shown on Fig. 6.

WARNING: This device, when active, does not prevent
breaker from closing. Closing the breaker against
activated FT may lead to damage of this release.

With a correctly designed interlock in an enclosure, FT
provides safety-tripping function. During withdrawal

operation of the trolley, the breaker is tripped BEFORE its
main terminals disconnect from the bus.

3.2.8 Lever for manual operating (Code 16)

Optionally, a hand lever for manual closing and opening
operation during maintenance is available. This tool must

not be use while breaker is energized!

To close the contacts, install hand lever (1) on the drive’s
rod, and pull it out smoothly until latches snap [Fig. 7].

Safe manual closing is shown on the Fig. 26, chapter 6.1.2.

To open the contacts, insert lever’s pin (3) into the ring (2)
and push it hard until breaker opens [Fig. 8] and [Fig 27].

WARNING: Manual closing and opening – only during
maintenance!

Alternative manual closing and opening operation is
possible by rotating the main shaft of the breaker
mechanism, which is accessible from both side. Use

10 mm hexagon-box wrenches to OPEN/CLOSE [Fig. 9]. To

close the breaker, shafts from both sides have to be
rotated simultaneously.

WARNING: Pay attention to control rotation speed of the

shaft during manual opening and closing. Impede the
wrench to avoid hitting it to the ground, which may lead

to a hand injury.
