1. Check circuit breaker for proper mounting, conductor size and feeder designation.
2. Inspect case for cracks or other defects.
3. Check tightness of connection with torque wrench in accordance with manufacturer's
recommendations or requirements of P-000.
4. Operate circuit breaker to insure smooth operation.
ELECTRICAL TESTS
1. Measure contact resistance. For circuit breakers 600 amps and larger values in excess
of 200 micro-ohms or deviation of more than twenty percent (20%) shall be
investigated. For circuit breakers less than 600 amps values may be higher and
deviation should not any greater than 50%.
2. Perform time-current characteristic test by passing three hundred percent (300%)
rated current through each pole separately. Record results on field data test sheet. All
trip times shall fall within values listed in the attached table, or the circuit breaker
shall be replaced.
3. Check instantaneous (magnetic) pickup current by run-up of pulse method. Clearing
time and pickup current levels should be within manufacturer's published values.
4. Insulation resistance should be determined pole to pole , line to load across pole the
pole, and pole to ground. Test voltage shall be 1000 volts DC Insulation resistance
shall not be less than (50) fifty megohms.
5. Check auxiliary devices that may be supplied i.e., shunt trip, ground fault, under
voltage.

-----------
Note: MCPs only have magnetic pickup. Therefore, only the instantaneous trip is checked. Few circuit
breakers rated less that 600 amps have thermal and magnetic trip units. Usually they contain only thermal trip
units. Therefore, only the long delay or thermal trip time is checked.
