Corrective Action
Ensure that the accessory is inserted in the correct slot, as in
Figure 3, and that the label is upright.
Check that Shunt Trip control power is applied at greater than
75% of the rated de voltage or 55% of the rated ac voltage.
Check that the accessory is completely inserted; reinsert if
necessary.
If a 12 Vdc Shunt Trip is installed, check that the polarity of the
control power matches that shown
Shunt Trip accessory.
Check for the proper voltage rating on the Shunt Trip.
Check that the Shunt Trip accessory is completely inserted.
Check that the Trip Unit is seated correctly. If the Trip Unit
was removed to set the switches, check that it has been
correctly installed; remove and reinstall, if necessary.
Note that an otherwise unpowered Trip Unit is powered up
by an energized Shunt Trip.
Verify that the breaker is closed.
Check that the Shunt Trip with Lockout control power is
applied at greater than 75% of the rated de voltage or 55% of
the rated ac voltage. Check that the accessory is completely
inserted; re-insert if necessary.
Note that an otherwise unpowered Trip Unit is powered by an
energized Shunt Trip accessory.
Check that the Shunt Trip with Lockout accessory is completely
inserted.
Check that control power to the Shunt Trip or Shunt Trip with
Lockout has been removed.
Check that the breaker is not closed; if so, open it and try
again.
Remove the Shunt Trip with Lockout accessory. If the lockout
plunger protrudes out of the accessory, replace the accessory.
If the plunger does not protrude, reinsert the accessory,
ensuring proper alignment of the accessory in the pocket.
Wait at least 0.25 seconds before closing the breaker after
removing control power from the Shunt Trip with Lockout.
