The armature will strike the tripping
arm which will raise the trigger on the
coverplate and allow the circuit-breaker
to open. The armature is not reset by
the circuit-breaker in opening and must
be reset by rotating the retrieving handle
to the left before the coil is re-energized.
The coil will burn out if the current is
flowing in the coil when the armature
is not in the retrieved position. The re­
trieving handle must be released quickly
to secure positive tripping action, in case
the undervoltage coil is not energized.
If noise develops, the face of the
armature and magnetic circuit should
be inspected to. see that a good clean
seat is obtained when they are together.
