Check Before Installing - GE EntelliGuard R7 Installation Manual

Check Before Installing

• Ensure only qualified personnel install, operate, service, and maintain all electrical
equipment.
These breakers are supported on two extendable rails; each breaker has four rollers. Racking arms on both
sides of the breaker frame engage the drawout mechanism pins fastened to both sides of the compartment.
1. Check to see that the breaker or breakers match their respective compartments. Look on the breaker
summary sheet, the front view drawings, breaker nameplate, and on the identification card on the
breaker shipping carton.
2. To locate the breaker for its proper compartment, refer to the breaker location list on the front view
drawing. Find the proper breaker by the identification card on the breaker carton, or the mark number
on the breaker nameplate. All identical legacy breakers have the same mark number.
3. If the Retrofill breaker is meant to replace a WavePro breaker with catalog number beginning with WE or
W1, check to be sure the breaker has a wider racking cam slot on the right side which works with the
larger diameter pin on the right side of switch gear compartment.
4. If the Retrofill breaker is meant to replace a WavePro breaker with catalog number beginning with WS or
W2, check to be sure the breaker has equal sized racking cam slots on both sides.
NOTE: GE Switchboard plants initially shipped "WS" style breakers and later shifted to "WE" style breakers
to be consistent with GE Switchgear from Burlington, Iowa
