Opening the knife switch
de-energizes control power to
the circuit breaker. In some
circuit breakers, pullout type
fuse holders or molded-case
circuit breakers are used in
lieu of knife switches.
Removal of the fuse holder or
opening the molded-case
circuit breaker accomplishes
the same result: control power
is disconnected.
If any maintenance is to be
performed, discharge the
capacitors.

NOTICE
Capacitor discharge plug (105.2)
Disconnect control power prior to removing or replacing the capacitor discharge plug. Refer to Figure 7.
To discharge capacitors:
Disconnect control power to the circuit breaker by opening the disconnect device (device 08 in the typical
schematic in Figure 10 on page 51) located in the control compartment.
After control power is off, disconnect the capacitor discharge plug (105.2) from the controller board
(105.0) to discharge capacitors.
To reconnect capacitors:
Disconnect control power to the circuit breaker by opening the disconnect (device 08 in the typical
schematic in Figure 10 on page 51) located in the control compartment.
Insert the capacitor discharge plug (105.2) (with six pins) into the left-hand receptacle on the controller
board (105.0). Ensure that the plug is properly seated and the plug position is level with the power supply
connection plug (105.5) that is located to the right of the capacitor discharge plug.
After the capacitor discharge plug is firmly seated, reconnect control power to the circuit breaker (device
08 in the typical schematic in Figure 10 on page 51).
