are met and followed

• Ensure the main springs are fully discharged

• Do not touch the circuit breaker’s isolating contacts

during lifting

Failure to comply with these instructions could result
in death or serious injury.

WARNING

IMPROPER INSTALLATION, OPERATION, SERVICE, AND
MAINTENANCE
• Ensure only qualified personnel install, operate, service

and maintain all electrical equipment

• Do not perform any maintenance, including breaker

charging, closing, tripping, or any other function that
could cause significant movement of circuit breaker
while it is on the draw-out extension rails

• Ensure circuit breaker is always left in the CONNECTED,

TEST or DISCONNECTED position to avoid
mispositioning of the breaker and flashback

Failure to comply with these instructions could result
in death or serious injury.

WARNING

FALLING OBJECT

• Ensure lifting equipment has capability for device being

lifted

Failure to comply with these instructions could result
in death or serious injury.

CAUTION

Product Damage

• Contact GE for rewiring information before using the

EntelliGuard TU trip unit to replace the Micro-Versa PM
trip unit. This is because connecting the MicroVersa’s
24 V (commnet system) directly to the EntelliGuard
(Modbus system) will damage the EntelliGuard’s RS485
chip

• Ensure circuit breaker and its accessories are always

used within their designated ratings

circuit breaker

• Do not use excessive force when installing a trip unit.

• Do not allow circuit breaker to hit a hard surface while

handling.

• Do not drag or slide circuit breaker across a hard or

rough surface.

Failure to comply with these instructions may result in
product damage.

TRIP UNIT REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT

Power Break I, Power Break II, WavePro and AKR Trip Units
have rejection pins, installed on the rear of these trip units,
to prevent installation of an incorrect trip unit into a
breaker.

Replacement of a trip unit always requires repeating the
setup procedures

Power Break I and Power Break II Insulated Case Circuit
Breakers

The trip unit procedures for Power Break I and Power Break
II circuit breakers are very similar and are outlined below.
The EntelliGuard TU trip unit for a Power Break I is different
than that for a Power Break II (see SECTION 1: “General
Information”
). Ensure the correct trip unit is used.
