quick-break type, electrically and mechanically trip-free, to prevent maintaining circuit
breaker closed against overcurrent condition whether under manual or automatic operation.
Breakers are to have mechanical built-in charging lever and are to include open and close

direct acting push buttons. Stored energy provision is to allow open/close/open sequence
of operation without use of external energy. Safety feature is to allow discharging stored
energy without closing circuit breaker. Circuit breaker is to have arc quenching device on
each pole and replaceable arcing contacts.

X225 RATING: 3-pole, 600 V class, with continuous current rating (frame size) as shown
on the Drawings, fully rated (100%) for service under worst site conditions. Breakers are
to be rated for a symmetrical rms service short-circuit breaking capacity as shown on the
Drawings, to IEC 947-2 sequence II (rated service short-circuit breaking capacity) at
specified voltage and frequency, meeting IEC 947-2, sequence I, II, III and IV tests (for
circuit breakers of utilization category B), tested in an enclosure substantially the same as
the enclosure in which they are to be installed.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 INSTALLATION
