Corrective maintenance (cont.)
Trouble shooting
Upon circuit breaker tripping
Identification of causes
Upon circuit breaker tripping, the circuit must never be re-closed, before having
identified and eliminated the tripping cause.
There may be multiple causes:
b depending on the type of control unit, refer to the appropriate manuals (see Sepam
user)
b in function of the type of fault and the priority of installation re-starting, certain
precautions should be taken, in particular insulation and dielectric tests on parts or on
the entire installation. These checks and tests must be piloted and conducted by
qualified personnel.

Symptoms
Impossible to charge
Impossible to close the

circuit breaker
the indicator remains in the

Probable causes and remedies

Voltage too low at motor terminals
b restore voltage
b possibly change the motor
b check connections of auxiliary circuits
No power to coil
b power up the release or latch
artificially in the "closed circuit" position
The release is not connected properly
b check the circuit
The coil is cut off
b change the release
The control unit is not armed
b arm the unit
There is a fault on the main HV circuit or
poor setting of protection circuits
b eliminate this fault
b adjust the protection circuits
The release is not connected properly
b check the circuit
The coil is cut off
b change the release
b check the protection circuit

Corrective maintenance (cont.)

Symptoms
The circuit breaker on its truck was just inserted into its
cradle.
The selector is in the circuit breaker extraction authorisation
and removal position:
The selector cannot be turned to the rack-in authorised
position.
The circuit breaker is racked-in

The truck selector is in the closing authorised position.
The circuit breaker is CLOSED:
The selector cannot be turned to the rack-out authorised
position
The circuit breaker is racked-in
The truck selector is in the closing authorised position.
The circuit breaker is OPEN:
The selector cannot be turned to the rack-out authorised
position.
The circuit breaker on its truck was just racked-in:

b either by manually pushing it (manual version)
b or by using the handle (version using propulsion)
Selector rotation to the closing authorised position is
not possible.
The circuit breaker on its truck is in the test position after

racking-out (selector in the rack-in authorised position):
The selector cannot be turned.
Faulty mechanisms
The low voltage plug and the upper front
cover of the circuit breaker.
Probable causes and solutions

Check that the low voltage plug was connected,
the upper cover on the circuit breaker is correctly
closed.
The notching pins of the circuit breaker truck. Make sure that nothing blocks the notching pins
movement on the rails.
A lock on the cubicle's front door.
Make sure that any possible locks on the
cubicle's door do not act against the circuit
breaker's truck. Close the cubicle's door.

The truck selector is ready to receive a padlock.
Close the padlock hole.

(see cradle installation manual).
Shutter lock
Adjust the shutter lock and the raising roller
located on the side of circuit breaker's truck. (see
cradle installation manual).
Shutter raising system
Re-adjust the operating roller setting for shutter
raising on the side of the circuit breaker truck
(see installation manual).
If the shutters are bent, contact a Schneider
Electric service centre.
The shutter movement cable
The cable is broken.
Shutter padlocking
Shutter padlocking was maintained and when
the rack-in operation took place the system was
damaged.
In both cases, contact a Schneider Electric
service centre.
LV plug interlocking.
The low voltage plug interlocking prevents the
selector from rotating:
Open the circuit breaker's low voltage cover.
Press the low voltage plug lock.
Turn the selector to the operating position.
The shutters are not locked when the circuit breaker is on

its truck and extracted from the cradle.
The circuit breaker's cluster arm touches the shutters.
