A. Circuit Breakers

B. Fuses 1.2 INTERRUPTING RATING (NEC 240.83C)

A. Provide over-current protection devices in accordance with NEC 240.83C. Coordinate fault current (AIC) ratings for devices. If available fault current is not indicated on drawings request available fault current from service utility and provide fault current calculations through over-current protective devices. If fault currents are provided on drawings verify before purchasing devices. Notify Engineer if fault currents are not indicated on drawings or of conflicts between available fault current ratings provide by service utility, distribution fault current calculations, and drawings.

1.3 SUBMITTALS

A. Provide submittals for over-current protective devices. B. Provide documentation of available fault current from service utility and

distribution fault current calculations. PART 2 - PRODUCTS 2.1 CIRCUIT BREAKERS

A. Breakers shall be fully interchangeable without disturbing adjacent units, quick make, quick break, ambient compensated, and trip indicating. Construction of the breaker shall allow the device to operate manually for normal switching functions and automatically under overload and short circuit conditions. It is to provide circuit and self-protection when applied within its ratings. The operating mechanism shall be entirely trip-free so that contacts cannot be held closed against an abnormal over-current or short circuit condition.

B. The operating handle of the breaker shall open and close all poles

simultaneously. The trip unit for each pole shall have elements providing inverse time delay under load condition and instantaneous magnetic tripping for short circuit protection. The trip element shall operate a common trip bar which shall open all poles in case of an overload or short circuit through any pole. Provide ground fault interrupter breakers where require by Code, or where shown on the Drawings.

C. Circuit breakers and switches used for motor disconnects and not in sight of the

motor controller shall be capable of being locked in the open position.
