motor
and gear-reduction unit, _
proceed
as
follows:
1 • . Remove the
front
frame
(see
SEPARATION
OF FRONT
AND
R~AR FRAME.)
2.
.Remove closing
springs
and
crank-shaft
as

from
motor and remove
the -wires attached to
gear
unit housing.
4.
Remove four bolts
at
the bottom of the
front
frame
and one
bolt
at
top of
gear

motor
and
gear
unit may
n!JW
be removed .•
NOTE
:
If
it
is
desired
to
replace
only the
motor unit, disconnect the
motor

remove only the hardware fastening
it
to the
. - -gear-reduction unit. When removing the motor
· only, the front
frame
should be placed
front

QUICK
CLOSE
BREAKER
· .
ADJUSTMENTS
.
The quick close
breaker
basically differs
from
the standard
breaker
in
that
~e
p~echarging
_ operati<;m
is
extended
to
and slightly
past
the top
dead-
center
position of the closing
spring
assembly.
As
_.!tie
springs
start
. to discharge~ to close the
bre_aker, the discharge operation
is
arrested
by
~
pi:ap
and latch arrangement. The subsequent
closing operation
is
accomplished · by tripping
the
-latch to
release
the
prop
which in
turn
allows
the springs
to
continue the interrupted discharging
operation and close the
breaker.
The
gear
reduction unit
for
the
standard
breaker
is
· not interchangeable with the
gear
reduction
uniLon the quick
close
unit because the quick
close
gear
reduction unit employs a
slip
clutch
to relieve the
pressure
that would otherwise
be
. exerted between the output
crank
plate and
the prop. . ·
After the· closing springs have been completely
charged and the prop and latch
system
are
pre-
venting
closure
of
the
breaker,
the closing
opera-
tion may
be
.accomplished by energizing the closing
relay.
thni
the control relay contacts,
or
man-
ually- by
depressing
the push to
close
lever
which
mechanically displaces the latch to allow the
break~r to
close.
· .
. . .
On
drawout
breakers
an interlock between the ··
breaker and enclosure
requires
the springs
to
be
discharged before the
breaker
can be removed
from the
enclosure.
