Metal-enclosed and metal-clad switchgear ships in sections. Indoor sec-
tions ship on throw away steel bases.
Un load the units as close to the installation site as possible. Secure alldoors and panels. Raise the units with jacks and move on rollers with
the shipping bases attached or with an overhead h oist and spreader bar.
Do not move the shipping splits with drawout units installed. See Fig-
ures 2 th rough 7.
In many locations the best way of moving the equipment is with jacks
and rollers.
Use of fork lift trucks for jacking or placing the jacks otherthan as described may result in stress distortions and irrep-arable damage to the equipment.
Do not remove the shipping bases until the units are set inplace. Moving the units without the shipping base willcause irreparable damage and a hazardous condition.

The preferred method to check the control circuit is to furnish a sepa-
rate temporary source of control power of the required control voltage
rating. T he temporary source must have a properly coordinated backup
protective device in th e circuit. Set th e device to clear any faults th at
might occur. Initially all circuit b reakers should be in t he DISCON-NECT position and the main circuit de-energized and grounded.
When ac control power is from control power transformers in the
switchgear, rem ove all fuses in th e transformer circuits. O n electrically
operated circuit b reakers, discharge the springs and place the motor-dis-
connect-switch in t he OFF position.
6. Rack drawout circuit breakers to the DISCONNECT position.
7. Open all normal control power source disconnects, if supplied.
8. Check each control switch or push-button. Make sure that it isin the OPEN position.
9. Connect a temporary control power source to the circuit loadterminals in the switchgear. Energize the control circuit from
the temporary control power source.
10. Rack one circuit breaker into the TEST position. When the on-off switch is in the ON position, the charging of the closingsprings of an electrically operated circuit breaker indicates con-nection to the control power.
11. Rack the remaining circuit breakers into the TEST position, oneat a time.
The breaker or cutout device of the local control power circuit mustremain open when using a separate control power source.
OPEN the circuit breaker before racking.

12. Test all electrically and manually operated breakers for closingand tripping, while they are in the TEST position. Use theoptional test set available with the trip unit for testing solid statetripping.
13. De-energize the control circuit. If ac control power is fromtransformers in the switchgear, remove the temporary separatesource of control power. Reinstall all fuses in the transformercircuit.
14. Set all relays, regulators, and other devices for proper opera-
tion of loads. The factory does not set the relays.
15. Remove shorting screws from the terminal blocks in the currenttransformer circuits. See Step 16. Store screws in the tappedholes in the corners of the blocks.

C ircuit b reakers have th ree positions in th e housing.
1. The DISCONNECT position disengages the main disconnect-ing devices, and the control contacts on the breaker. They area safe distance from the stationary part of the devices locatedon the housings.
2. The TEST position disengages the main disconnectingdevices, and engages the control contacts. This positionallows operation of the circuit breaker for testing.
3. The CONNECTED position engages the main and control dis-connecting devices on the breaker.
Mechanical interlocks prevent moving a circuit breaker from one posi-
tion to anoth er unless th e circuit breaker is open . T he interlocks also
prevent closing the breaker between positions.
