.
It
is
recommended
that
any
circuit
breaker
be
withdrawn
and
stored
in
the
test
position
whenever
it
is
to
be
main
-
tained
in

It
is
recommended
that

MAINTENANCE
AND
ADJUSTMENTS
5.1
GENERAL
INFORMATION
HK
circuit
breakers
are
designed
for
minimum
mainte
-
nance
and
tested
to
ensure
that
minimum
maintenance
will
be
required
.
Only
one
basic
adjustment
is
normally
re
-
quired
and
that
is
contact
adjustment
.
This
should
be
checked
to
the
dimensional
values
required
as
described
in
paragraph
5.2
.
Other
adjustments
are
required
only
when
operational
check
indicates
a
need
.
During
maintenance
checks
,
all
accessible
bolts
,
nuts
and
screws
should
be
routinely
checked
to
ensure
that
they
are
tight
.
It
is
recom
-
mended
that
the
5
HK
75
,
5
HK
150
and
5
HK
250
circuit
breakers
be
normally
inspected
after
2000
operations
and
that
the
5
HK
350
circuit
breakers
be
normally
inspected
after
1000
operations
.
These
operations
can
be
either
no
-
load
mechanical
or
load
current
switching
where
the
power
factor
is
relatively
high
.
When
the
circuit
breakers
are
used
for
direct
bulk
capacitor
or
reactor
switching
operations
or
for
motor
starting
applications
,
it
is
recommended
the
5
HK
75
,
5
HK
150
and
5
HK
250
circuit
breakers
be
inspected
after
1000
operations
and
that
the
5
HK
350
circuit
breakers
be
inspected
after
500
operations
because
of
the
switching
severity
If
however
,
after
the
first
inspection
period
,
there
is
no
indication
of
any
problem
,
actual
operating
experience
can
dictate
the
inspection
cycle
.
Regarding
maintenance
recommendations
following
fault
duty
,
reference
is
made
to
ANSI
Standard
C
37.04
to
which
the
circuit
breakers
have
been
tested
.
In
accordance
with
this
standard
,
a
total
of
400
%
asymmetrical
fault
duty
can
be
accumulated
.
This
is
to
be
ten
or
less
close
-
open
operations
at
less
than
85
%
of
full
duty
;
but
it
can
be
an
accumulation
over
a
long
time
period
of
lower
currents
.
The
condition
of
the
breaker
should
be
such
that
after
this
duty
it
is
capable
of
one
more
close
-
open
operation
at
full
fault
current
.
Inspection
is
to
be
made
at
this
time
to
ensure
compliance
with
this
requirement
.
Final
operation
can
be
made
if
everything
is
satisfactory
.
At
this
time
,
maintenance
should
be
performed
,
reconditioning
done
and
replace
-
ment
made
as
indicated
.
In
accordance
with
the
same
standard
it
is
recommended
that
after
a
major
fault
duty
cycle
(
CO
-
15
SEC
CO
)
Which
is
known
to
be
between
85
and
100
%
of
the
circuit
breaker
