Closing conditions
E51291A
Closing (i.e. turning the circuit ON) is possible only if the circuit breaker is
"ready to close".
The prerequisites are the following:
b device open (OFF)
b springs charged
b no opening order present.
E51292A
The circuit breaker will not close unless it is "ready to close" when the order
is given.

Under pick-up conditions, the level of consumption is approximately 150 to 200 VA.
Consequently, for low supply voltages (12, 24, 48 V), cables must not exceed a
maximum length determined by the supply voltage and the cross-section of the
cables.

Initial tests
A general check of the circuit breaker takes only a few minutes and avoids any risk of
mistakes due to errors or negligence.
A general check must be carried out:
b prior to initial use
b following an extended period during which the circuit breaker is not used.
A check must be carried out with the entire switchboard de-energised.
In switchboards with compartments, only those compartments that may be accessed
by the operators must be de-energised.
Procedure
Electrical tests
Switchboard inspection
Check that the circuit breakers are installed in a clean environment, free of any
installation scrap or items (tools, electrical wires, broken parts or shreds, metal
objects, etc.).
Check device mounting in the switchboard and the tightness of power connections.
Check that all auxiliaries and accessories are correctly installed:
b electrical auxiliaries
b terminal blocks
b connections of auxiliary circuits.
Operation
Check the control unit of each circuit breaker using the respective user manuals.
40
51201116AA - 06/2009
Faults are signalled locally and remotely by the indicators and auxiliary contacts
installed on circuit breakers (depending on each configuration). See page 12 in this
manual and the user manual of the control unit for information on the fault indications
available with your circuit breaker.
A circuit must never be reclosed (locally or remotely) before the cause of the fault
has been identified and cleared.
A fault may have a number of causes:
b depending on the type of control unit, fault diagnostics are available. See the user
manual for the control unit.
b depending on the type of fault and the criticality of the loads, a number of
precautionary measures must be taken, in particular the insulation and dielectric
tests on a part of or the entire installation. These checks and test must be directed
and carried out by qualified personnel.
The circuit breaker can be reset locally or remotely. See page 12 in this manual for
information on how the circuit breaker can be reset.

Masterpact NT devices have successfully passed the tests defined by the following
standards for extreme atmospheric conditions:
b IEC 68-2-1: dry cold at -55 C
b IEC 68-2-2: dry heat at +85 C
b IEC 68-2-30: damp heat (temperature +55 C, relative humidity 95 %)
b IEC 68-2-52 level 2: salt mist.
Masterpact NT devices can operate in the industrial environments defined by
