Remote Racking Operator for AKD-10
Section 3.Description
3-1 Description – Small Frame remote
racking Operator – 800- 2000A frame
WavePro Breakers
The remote racking operator consists of a drive
train, control switches, and attachment brackets.
The drive train is made of a gear motor (1, fig. 1),
And a square drive socket (2, fig. 1), which
couples to the breaker drawout mechanism.
Two control switches and a circuit breaker are
included with each remote racking operator. The
Start switch (3, fig. 1) housed in the hand-held
box (4, fig. 1) controls the power to the motor.
Pushing the button closes the switch and in turn
supplies power to the motor. This control switch
is spring loaded; therefore, continuous pressure on
the button is required to keep the motor running.
The motor directional control switch (5, fig. 1) is
mounted on the motor housing. Two positions are
provided , “IN” and “OUT”. For racking toward
the CONNECT position the switch should be set
in “IN”. For racking toward the DISCONNECT
position, the switch should be set to “OUT”. The
circuit breaker (6, fig. 1) senses the motor stall
current when the breaker reaches the end of its
travel which causes the motor to stall. The higher
motor stall current trips the circuit breaker to the
OFF position and in turn shuts off the power to
the motor. The sliding latch (7, fig. 1) is designed
to provide the means for attaching the remote
racking operator to the front of the Small Frame
Breaker. The sliding latch (7, fig. 1) hooks into
the breaker cover (8, fig. 1) for mounting the
remote racker to the Breaker.
ATTACHMENT / REMOVING OF DEVICE
Attaching the Remote Racking Operator to the
Small Frame WavePro circuit breaker.
Attach the Remote Racking Operator to the
WavePro breaker by first depressing the OPEN
button on the front of the breaker. While
depressing the OPEN button, slide the Racking
Screw Access Door, located below the OPEN
button, to the right. Position the Remote Racking
Operator so that the square drive coupling is
aligned with the square shaft of drawout (racking)
mechanism. Push the Remote Racking Operator
toward the breaker to engage the square drive
coupling with the shaft of the racking mechanism.
If the coupling and the shaft are not in alignment,
the motor shaft extension on the back of the motor
housing can be rotated in either direction until the
square drive aligns with the square racking shaft.
When they are in alignment, the Remote Racking
Operator will slide further into the breaker front
cover and the Remote Racking Operator should
latch into the cover. Check the latch on the left
side of the Remote Racking Operator to make sure
it is fully engaged into the breaker front cover
(indicated by the label on the latch).
Removing the Remote Racking Operator from
the Small Frame WavePro circuit breaker.
Hold the Remote Racking Operator securely and
press the latch release (located on the left side of
the Remote Racking Operator) to the right. This
should allow the Remote Racking Operator to be
pulled from the breaker front cover. If the breaker
is in the CONNECT or TEST position, the OPEN
button must be depressed to allow the Racking
Screw Access Door to close.
