Why does my Eaton 150 VCP-T16 Other circuit breaker keep opening?
- A
  Austin VaughanAug 9, 2025
  If your Eaton Other circuit breaker undesirably opens, it could be due to several reasons: * The undervoltage release may be operating because the voltage is too low or zero. In this case, check and correct the UVR supply voltage to be within 85-110% of the rated voltage. * The shunt trip might be operating. Inspect the control signal(s) to the shunt trip and correct if necessary. * The trip latch could be defective. Inspect the latch condition and engagement before closing.

  If your Eaton Other circuit breaker can be closed locally but not remotely, here are some possible reasons: * The spring release (closing) coil supply voltage might be low, or the spring release itself could be faulty. Check the power supply voltage and replace the spring release if necessary. * There might be a secondary contact wiring problem. Ensure that the electrical pin and socket connectors are properly seated in the molded plug and verify the wiring. * The latch check switch could be open, either due to a bad switch or because it hasn't been reset.

  If your Eaton Other circuit breaker can be opened locally but not remotely, consider the following: * The shunt trip control signal might be absent or too low. Check that the supply voltage exceeds the minimum of the voltage range when a signal is applied to the shunt trip. * The shunt trip could be faulty or improperly installed. Remove the front cover and check the voltage supplied to the shunt trip. Ensure the shunt trip is correctly seated and the retainer is snapped into place. Check for shunt trip motion; replace the shunt trip if it's faulty. * A secondary contact wiring problem might exist. Make sure the electrical pin and socket connectors are properly seated in the molded plug and verify the wiring.

Why Eaton 150 VCP-T16 circuit breaker won't recharge electrically?
- C
  Corey ScottAug 29, 2025
  If your Eaton Other circuit breaker recharges manually but not electrically, it could be due to: * Absent or low charging motor supply voltage (below the minimum range). Check the charging motor electrical circuit voltage, ensuring you check it under load. * A faulty charging motor. Consider replacing the charging motor assembly.

What to do if Eaton 150 VCP-T16 Other circuit breaker won't close and springs don't discharge?
- K
  Karen MartinezNov 13, 2025
  If your Eaton Other circuit breaker doesn't close using local or remote controls and the springs don't discharge, consider these potential causes: 1. The closing spring might not be fully charged. Check the SPRING CHARGED indicator and manually charge the spring. Also, check the voltage to the electrical operator and replace it if faulty. 2. If equipped with an undervoltage release, it might not be energized or is faulty. Unplug the undervoltage release and retry closing. If it works, check the voltage supply to the undervoltage release (should be >85%) and replace the undervoltage release if it’s faulty. 3. The circuit breaker may be locked in the OPEN position. Check the reason for the lock. 4. The circuit breaker could be interlocked with another circuit breaker or device. Check fo...
