G Power Circuit Breaker
Section 4. Accessories
A wide range of optional accessories are interchangeable
across all EntelliGuard G power circuit breakers, regardless
of nominal rating or envelope/frame size. As shown in Figure
4.1, each accessory incorporates easy-fit design features for
quick installation, either at the factory or in the field. NOTE:
Replacement accessories have an “R” at the end of the
catalog number as shown in the tables. All Coils are
Conformal Coated for increased reliability in humid/damp
environments

Motorized Spring Charging Unit
The unique motor/gearbox unit is specially designed to
operate with the full range of EntelliGuard G breakers. It is
easily installed with three heavy-duty bolts. After a breaker
close operation, the unit automatically recharges the spring
and makes it ready for immediate re-close should the need
arise. High speed recharging ensures that the springs are
fully charged within approximately three seconds following
a release. All electrically operated (EO) ANSI/UL breakers are
equipped with “Spring Charged” contacts for status
indication (Table 4.1).
Circuit Breaker Closing Coils – Standard and Commanded
Two, easy-to-fit, clip-on closing coil options with simple,
plug-in connections are available. Both options offer
electrical remote release of the spring charged closing
mechanism. Both options include a standard anti-pump
safety feature ensuring that the close signal must be
released before further close commands are allowed. The
Command Close Coil additionally provides for local breaker
close and remote breaker close over communications via
the EntelliGuard Trip Unit (Table 4.2).
