Manufactured from 1960 until 1977, the aluminum bus had copper that was “flash-butt welded” to the aluminum at bolted connections. During that time, AK-2A, 3A -25 / 50 / T50 / 75 / 100 (“A” signifies AKD-5 drawout) were produced.
AKR-75 / 100s were introduced during this time. Stab-and-finger connections on 3200A and 4000A breakers were improvements, versus the round the primary disconnects on the AKD-5. The 4000A breaker was also narrowed to same width and phase-phase spacing as the 3200A.
• Ensure lifting equipment has capability for device being lifted. • Wear hard hat, gloves, and safety shoes. • Failure to comply with these instructions could result in serious injury. 10 EntelliGuard R Circuit Breaker Retrofill AKD-5/6 Installation Manual DEH0005240 R01...
5. Remove all product documentation and store properly. 6. Unscrew the mounting screws that fasten the circuit breaker to the bottom of the shipping palette and remove the circuit breaker. 11 EntelliGuard R Circuit Breaker Retrofill AKD-5/6 Installation Manual DEH0005240 R01...
6. Pull out the ears of the Retrofill breaker so that the lifting Rod can be inserted through the ears for hoisting breaker (Figure 7). Figure 7. AKD-5—Breaker Lifting Holes 12 EntelliGuard R Circuit Breaker Retrofill AKD-5/6 Installation Manual DEH0005240 R01...

The cassette also has a new racking mechanism. Two cams in the cassette engage pins on the new breaker to pull it into the cassette. The new breaker for AKD-5 has tubular primary disconnects and AKD-6 breakers have primary disconnect fingers which will directly connect to the primary disconnects in the AKD-5/6 switchgear.
Inspect the Kirk key slide mechanism, grease with Mobilgrease 28 (D50HD38) if required. 9. Install parts to prevent use of the old/original legacy Draw out Mechanism. 16 EntelliGuard R Circuit Breaker Retrofill AKD-5/6 Installation Manual DEH0005240 R01...

When a legacy AK or AKR breaker of this type is replaced with a retrofill EntelliGuard R circuit breaker with 4-wire GF in AKD-5 or AKD-6 switchgear, the incoming wires from the neutral CT typically connect to the Equipment Neutral disconnect on the floor of the switchgear compartment.
Note: The RNCTA1200 is unique because the Rogowski sensors on the breaker are actually 630A & 1250A rated.
