INTRODUCTION
GE Conversion Kits are designed for upgrading existing Allis
Chalmers®, Siemens/Allis®, and Siemens® low-voltage
power circuit breakers, rather than replacing the entire breaker.
The Conversion Kits include Entelliguard TU™,
MicroVersaTrip Plus™ or MicroVersaTrip PM™ Trip Units,
the latest technological advance in GE trip systems.
Entelliguard, MicroVersaTrip Plus and MicroVersaTrip P
Conversion Kits are designed and tested to conform to ANSI
Standard C37.59, allowing the retrofitter to properly install the
kit and acceptance test the breaker.
This publication covers installation of Entelliguard,
MicroVersaTrip Plus and MicroVersaTrip PM Conversion Kits
on Allis Chalmers®, Siemens/Allis®, and Siemens® LA-4000
low-voltage power circuit breakers. Each Conversion Kit
contains all the components needed to convert from the existing
trip system.
