Before inst'alling or operating these circuit breakers,  care-
fully read these 
instructions.
Upon 
receipt  of a circuit breaker,  immediately  examine 
for
any damage or 
loss sustained in shipment. lf 
injury, 
loss 
or
rough 
handling 
is 
evident, 
file 
a 
damage claim at once with
the 
transportation 
company 
and notify the nearest General
Electric Sales Office.
Unoack 
the circuit breaker as soon  as 
possible 
after it has
been 
received. Exercise  care in unpacking  to avoid damage
to the 
breaker 
parts. 
Be 
sure that 
no loose 
parts 
are 
missing

or 
left in the 
packaging 
material. Blow out any dirt or 
loose
particles 
of 
packaging 
material  remaining on or 
in 
the
breaker.
lf 
the circuit breaker 
is not to be 
placed 
in 
service 
at once,
store 
it 
in a clean, dry location 
in 
an 
upright 
position. 
Support
it to 
prevent 
bending 
of the 
studs 
or damage 
to 
any of 
the
breaker 
parts. 
Do not 
cover 
the breaker 
with 
packing 
or other
material which 
absorbs 
moisture  that may 
cause 
corrosion  of
breaker 
parts. 
A covering  of kraft or other non-absorbent
paper 
will 
prevent 
dust from 
settling on 
the breaker.
NOTE: Before installing in 
a Nuclear C/ass 7E
application,  verify that 
this 
product 
is 
intended  for
such use 
by checking 
the 
procurement 
records.
LOCATION
In choosing 
a 
location 
for the installation 
of 
these 
breakers
there 
are two factors 
to 
be considered. 
The first is 
the
location's 
environmental impact 
on the 
breaker.  Much better
performance 
and longer life 
can 
be expected if the 
area 
is
clean, 
dry, dust-free and well ventilated. 
The second 
is con-
venience 
for 
operation  and maintenance. 
The 
breaker
should 
be easily  accessible 
to the 
operator and there 
should
be sufficient 
space 
available 
for 
maintenance 
work.
MOUNTING  TYPES
AKR-75 
and 
-100 
breakers 
are furnished in 
both 
drawout
and 
stationary 
construction. The mounting 
type is identified
by 
the second  middle digit in 
the breaker's nameplate 
desig-
nation 
as 
follows:

STATIONARY  BREAKERS
These  breakers  are designed 
for mountlng  in 
a switch-
board  or enclosure  designed 
and 
constructed  by others.
Mounting  consists of bolting the breaker  frame  to a support-
ing 
structure 
within the switchboard  or 
enclosure,  connecting
the 
power 
buses or cables,  and making  any necessary  con-
trol connections. 
The front 
cover of the breaker enclosure
may be a hinged door or a 
plate 
bolted to the 
panel, 
including
a cut-out  opening through 
which 
the 
front 
escutcheon  of the
breaker can 
protrude.
The 
surface on 
which 
the breaker is mounted 
must be flat
to avoid internal 
distortion 
of 
thb 
breaker. The 
supporting
structure  must 
be 
rigid 
enough  to 
avoid 
any 
possibility 
of 
the
breaker 
studs supporting  the weight 
of the breaker. Minimum
cutout dimensions 
as 
given 
by the appropriate 
outline 
draw-
ing 
must be maintained  to 
provide 
adequate 
electrical clear-
ance. Connecting 
bus and cables must 
be rigidly 
supported
to 
prevent 
undue stress 
on 
the 
breaker terminals.

dimensions for 
designing
a suitable  enclosure 
for the stationarv 
AKR-75 
and AKR-100
types are
