BOOK MUST BE CAREFULLY READ AND FOL-
LOWED IN ORDER TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM PERFOR-
MANCE FOR LONG USEFUL LIFE OF THE CIRCUIT
BREAKER ELEMENTS.
THE CIRCUIT BREAKER ELEMENTS DESCRIBED IN
THIS BOOK ARE DESIGNED AND TESTED TO OPER-
ATE WITHIN THEIR NAMEPLATE RATINGS. OPERA-
TION OUTSIDE OF THESE RATINGS MAY CAUSE
THE EQUIPMENT TO FAIL, RESULTING IN DEATH,
BODILY INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE.
ALL SAFETY CODES, SAFETY STANDARDS AND/OR
REGULATIONS AS THEY MAY BE APPLIED TO THIS
TYPE OF EQUIPMENT MUST BE STRICTLY ADHERED
TO.
