Circuit Breaker or Disconnect Switch—Verify proper operation of the
circuit breaker or disconnect switch. Inspect switch blades; if evidence of
arcing or excessive heat is present, replace the switch assembly. Exercise
the push-to-trip feature on the circuit breakers.
Operator Mechanism—Verify proper operation of the operator mechanism
(see Figure 89). Test for proper ON, TRIP, OFF, and RESET positions (F-,
K-, and L-frame circuit breakers) or ON, TRIP, and OFF positions (
H-, J-,
M-, or P-frame circuit breakers). Verify proper door interlock operation.
NOTE: Fusible switch operator mechanisms do not have TRIP or RESET
positions.
Fuses—Inspect all fuses and fuse clips (see Figure 90). Replace any parts
showing signs of overheating or arcing.
Starter Contacts—Check the starter contacts (see Figure 91). Replace any
that are badly worn or pitted. (See the contactor instruction bulletin included
with the original shipment.)
