Vehicle Description The basic operation is for the nut to turn onto the screw Vehicle Function and Operational Interlocks which is mounted on the rear wall of the cubicle. Since Type DPR circuit breakers are comprised of the interrupter/ the nut is securely fastened to the chassis, it pulls the cir- operator module fitted to a vehicle.
Vehicle Description Floor Interlock and Operating Lever The circuit breaker interlocking system prevents closing the circuit breaker while the circuit breaker is being le- vered into or out of the CONNECTED position. This is done by the Floor Interlock and the Automatic Trip- ping Lever (Figure 2).
Vehicle Description Automatic Floor Tripping and Closing Spring Release The closing spring, if charged, will automatically discharge when the circuit breaker is withdrawn from the switchgear. The Floor Interlock and Automatic Tripping Lever activates the tripping trigger as the circuit breaker is withdrawn from the cubicle Test position.
Purchaser’s purposes, the mat- ter should be referred to the local Siemens sales office. Regardless of the length of the maintenance and lubrica- tion interval, Siemens recommends that circuit breakers and switchgear should be inspected and exercised annu- ally.
Maintenance 2. The second step in the removal procedure is to de-en- ergize control power to the circuit breaker. Open the control power disconnect device. 3. Rack the circuit breaker to the “DISCONNECT” position. 4. Perform the spring discharge check. This is done by first pressing the red Trip pushbutton.
Maintenance Insulation and Contact Resistance Test Racking Mechanism Refer to Circuit Breaker Operator Manual E50001- Remove existing lubricant from racking mechanism. Ap- F710-A251-V3-4A00. ply Klueber Isoflex Topas L 32 lubrication (part # 3AX11333H.) to the slid- ing, rotating and articulating Note: Maximum Contact Resistance is read from surfaces.
Maintenance Cubicle MOC Forces Reference Table 2 for the nominal and maximum forces required to operate the cubicle MOC’s. The force measure- ment is made by operating the cubicle pantograph. The force is measured when operating the pantograph at the location corresponding to the MOC actuator pin interface with the pantograph when the circuit breaker is in the Connect position.
Maintenance Floor Interlock and Operating Lever Adjusting Instructions The circuit breaker must be open and discharged prior to removing any covers. Tools required: • 1/2 inch wrench or socket (5DPR only) • Midsize flat tip screwdriver • 7/16 inch wrench or socket •...

Maintenance With the circuit breaker closing spring discharge roller (large roller) displaced 0.19 inches above the floor using the adjustment tool, the roller should have some resistance to rotation but must be able to be rotated manually. Note: This is an initial setting and may be changed per these instructions.

Maintenance Step 6 Verify that the actuating push rod fully rests to its original position by observing the grease wipe on the actuating push rod at the eyebolt. (Push rod shown with the circuit breaker rolled off the adjustment tool.) No grease wipe should be shown! This confirms that the rod is at its reset position.
Maintenance Step 7 Roll the circuit breaker trip roller (smaller roller located towards the outer edge of the circuit breaker) onto the 0.70 inch step of the adjustment tool. Step 8 Charge circuit breaker closing spring until it is latched and closing spring indicator reads CHARGED.
