SECTION SAFE PRACTICES

VB-serles breakers are equ pped with h gh speed, h gh energy
operatlng ..echanisrns They are des gned w th sevelal bu lt n
interlocks and safety leatures to provide safe and proper operating
sequences.

A WARNING
TO PROTECT THE PERSONNEL ASSOCIATED WITH INSTAILATION,
OPEBATION, AND IVIAINTENANCE OF THESE BBEAKEBS' THE IOTTOWING
PRACIICES MUST BE FOITOWED:

Only qualified persons, as detined in the National Electrical

Safety Code, who are lamiliar with the installation and main-
tenance ol medium voltage circuits and equipment, should
be permitted to work on these breakers.
Read these instructions carelully before attempting any
installalion, operation or maintenance of these breakers
Always remove the breaker from the enclosure before per-
lorming any maintenance. Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock leading to death. severe personnel injury or
property damage.
Do not work on a breaker with the secondary test coupler
engaged. Failure to disconnect the test coupler could result
in an electrical shock leading to death, personnel injury or
property damage.
Do not work on a closed breaker or a breaker with closing
springs charged. The closing spring should be discharged
and the main contacts open belore working on the breaker.
Failure to do so could result in cuttinq or crushing injuries.
Do not use a circuit breaker by itself as the sole means of
isolating a high voltage circuit. Remove the breaker to the
Disconnect position and follow all lockout and tagging rules
of the National Electrical Code and any and all applicable
codes, regulations and work rules.
Do not leave the breaker in an intermediate position in the
cell. Always have the breaker either in the Test or Connected
position. Failure 1o do so could result in a flash ovet and pos-
sible death, personnel injury or property damage.
Always remove the maintenance tool from the breaker after
charging the closing springs.
Breakers are equipped with safety interlocks. Do not defeat
them. This may result in death, bodily injurY or equipment
damage.
