Ordering replacement parts
When ordering replacement parts for a 
Siemens Power
Circuit Breaker, it is very important to give 
complete
information. This information should 
include:
1.    Type SDV6 distribution circuit breaker 
serial number listed on circuit breaker 
nameplate.
2.    Type of operator listed on operator 
nameplate.
3.    Type of circuit breaker.
4.    Rated continuous current of circuit 
breaker.
5.    Rated voltage of circuit breaker.
6.    Description of part. Use instruction 
book description insofar as possible.
7.    Instruction book number listed on 
circuit breaker nameplate.
8.    Instruction book item number.
9.    Number of pieces required.
While the circuit breaker can be identified 
by the serial number alone, all additional 
information that is given will serve as a 
check to be certain that the part or parts 
furnished are correct for the circuit breaker 
in question. Without this serial number, 
Siemens cannot be sure of the correct 
identity of the desired parts.
If any doubt exists as to the instruction 
book reference number or the description, 
a dimensional sketch of the desired part 
will help to properly identify it.
Siemens recommends that a supply of 
repair parts be kept on hand so that 
emergency repairs can be made without 
waiting for shipment of parts from the 
factory.
A list of recommended spare parts is sent 
with the circuit breaker. Before removing 
any part to be replaced, observe its 
function and adjustment. This usually 
saves adjustment time during installation.
