Cutler-Hammer Universal Moulded
Case Circuit Breakers, in one-, two-,
and three-pole configurations, are
designed to provide an economical
alternative for applications that do
not require the higher interrupting
ratings and internal accessories
provided by Series CT Breakers.
As with other members of the Cutler-
Hammer family of moulded case
circuit breakers, Universal Breakers
provide high quality, reliability,
unmatched performance, and out-
standing value.

For NEMA and IEC
Standard Voltage Systems
These breakers have been desig-
nated Universal because they can be
applied to both NEMA and IEC stand-
ard voltage systems: 277/480 volts
AC, 220/380 volts AC, and 240/415
volts AC at 60 or 50 Hz.
Cutler-Hammer Universal Breakers
are rated from 15 through 800
amperes and are available in five
frame sizes. Each frame size has the
same compact outside dimensions
as Series C Breakers.
Additionally, Universal Breakers are
suitable for 50°C applications and
have been rigorously tested to the
IEC 947-2 standard and are assem-
bled in an ISO certified facility.
1
Trip Units and Terminals
Universal Breakers are provided
with factory sealed thermal-
magnetic trip units.
The Gi-Frame Breaker (15-125
amperes) includes line and load ter-
minals with breaker mounting hard-
ware. Frames Fi (15-225 amperes),
Ji (250 amperes), Ki (300-400
amperes), and Li (500-630 amperes)
include line and load end caps with
termination hardware installed. The
Li-Frame (700-800 amperes) is fitted
with both line and load bus bar
extensions that utilize standard
hardware. A full complement of
terminals is available to customize
Universal Breakers as required.
External Accessories
Universal Breakers use the same
external accessories as Series C
Breakers: handle mechanisms,
motor operators, lock-off devices,
bus bar extensions, and multiple
terminal arrangements.

Typical Specifications
for UniversalE Moulded
Case Circuit Breakers
Electrical circuits shall be protected by Moulded Case
Circuit Breakers as manufactured by Cutler-Hammer.
Each pole of the one-, two-, and three-pole circuit break-
ers shall provide complete circuit overcurrrent protection
by having inverse time and instantaneous tripping char-
acteristics and, where applicable, be current limiting.
The circuit breakers shall be operated by a toggle-type
handle and have a quick-make, quick-break, over-centre
switching mechanism that is mechanically trip-free from
the handle so that the contacts cannot be closed against
short circuit currents. Tripping due to overload or short
circuits shall be clearly indicated by the position of the
handle. The ON and OFF positions shall be clearly
marked on the cover of the circuit breaker (F-Frame and
larger) along with the international symbols I for ON and
O for OFF on the handle, providing positive indication
of the circuit breaker contact position. Additionally,
a colour-coded indication of the circuit breaker contact
position shall be provided for the F-Frame and have red
for ON, green for OFF, and white for TRIPPED. An easily
accessible Push-To-Trip button for mechanically exercis-
ing the trip unit shall be provided on the cover of each
circuit breaker (F-Frame and larger). All poles of a multi-
pole circuit breaker shall be so constructed as to ensure
simultaneous open, close, and trip operations.
Moulded case circuit breakers shall be of the inverse
time and instantaneous trip type as provided by thermal
magnetic trip elements.
Noninterchangeable trip circuit breakers shall be factory
sealed to prevent tampering. Ampere ratings shall be
clearly visible from the front of the circuit breaker. Con-
tacts shall be nonwelding silver alloy. Arc extinction
shall be accomplished by means of DE-ION® arc
extinguishers, consisting of metal grids mounted in
an insulating support.

Circuit breakers shall be completely enclosed in a high
strength glass-polyester case.
The minimum interrupting ratings of the circuit breakers
shall be at least equal to the available short circuit cur-
rent at the line terminals. The circuit breakers can be
applied in series rated applications and subject to test
data verification.
Circuit breakers in frame sizes 100 amperes through
800 amperes shall be equipped with thermal-magnetic
trip units.
Circuit breakers in the 125 ampere frame size shall be
supplied in one-, two-, and three-pole models, as speci-
fied on the drawings. Circuit breakers in ratings of 225
ampere frame size shall be supplied in two-, or three-
poles as specified on the drawings. The 250 amperes
through 800 amperes frame sizes shall be supplied as
three-pole models only as specified on the drawings.
Electrical operators for circuit breakers of the 400 am-
pere frame size and below shall be of the solenoid type
with maximum five cycle closing characteristics. Electri-
cal operators for circuit breaker frame sizes 630 amperes
through 800 amperes shall be of the motor driven type.
All electrical operators shall be cover mounted.
Circuit breakers shall be provided with uniformly
designed nameplates to clearly indicate the type, rating,
listing/recognition/certification marks, accessory details,
and other information defined in IEC 947-2.
