MOUNTINGDistribute weight of the equipment uniformly over a rigid mounting surface (such as crossbeams or a metal floor).The mounting plate should be perfectly flat. This eliminates any risk of deformation which could interfere with correct operation of the circuit breaker.
Cable ConnectionIt is essential that mechanical stresses are not applied to the circuit breaker terminal pads if a cable connection is used. Vertical terminal pads are recommended, and should be installed as indicated below.
With bus bar extensions: if the circuit has only a single cable, use method (A). if the circuit has several cables, use method similar to (B).
In all cases, the same general rules apply for cables that apply for bus bars: position cable ends correctly before the bolts are inserted, and attach cables securely to framework (C).

Bus Bar ConnectionBus bar dimensions shown in Table 6, Bus Bars have been extrapolated from test data based on UL 891. They should be used only as a guide and not replace industrial experience or a temperature rise test.
Correct clamping of bus bars depends on, among other things, the torque used to tighten the nuts and bolts. Excessive torque may cause the same problems as insufficient torque.
The bus bars should be adjusted to ensure that the mounting holes (A, see Figure 21, page 15) are aligned with the terminal pads before the bolts are inserted. The bus bar is held by support (B) which is attached to the framework of the switchboard, so that the terminal pads do not have to support the weight of the bus bar. Dimension (C) must be maintained (Table 7, next page) to withstand the electrodynamic stresses between phases in the event of a short circuit.

Connection or disconnection of the circuit breaker requires insertion of the racking crank. Insertion of the racking crank can be prevented by the following stationary assembly accessories: Padlock Key lock Racking interlock
Disconnecting and connecting instructions are summarized on the label provided with the installation instructions. The label must be affixed to the door of the switchboard.
In the CONNECTED position, the primary and secondary disconnecting terminals are engaged, and the circuit breaker is ready for service.
In the TEST position, the primary terminals are disengaged, however, control contacts are connected to permit operation of the circuit breaker. The TEST position is used for testing circuit breaker operation and control system functions. In this position, the circuit breaker is not suitable for internal inspection or any maintenance function.
In the DISCONNECTED position, the primary and secondary disconnect terminals are disengaged and separated by a safe distance from the corresponding stationary terminals.
In the WITHDRAWN position, both primary and secondary contacts are disconnected. The circuit breaker may be removed for complete accessibility.
When a racking crank remains inserted or a circuit breaker is not completely disconnected, the extraction of the right rail is prevented.

OPERATING
Charging Instructions All basic circuit breaker and drawout operations can be performed from the front of the circuit breaker. Suitable electrical and mechanical interlocks are provided to prevent incorrect operation of the circuit breaker. To manually charge an electrically- or manually-operated circuit breaker, push or pull down on the charging handle, six full strokes should be used. When the spring is fully charged, the yellow charged indicator will appear in the stored-energy window on the circuit breaker front cover, the handle stops, and it will return to normal position when released.
Closing Instructions All that is required to close the circuit breaker locally is to push the mechanical push ON button. Pre-charged circuit breakers may be closed remotely via a spring-released solenoid which is standard for electrically operated circuit breakers and optional for manually-operated circuit breakers. Before attempting to close the circuit breaker locally, the stored-energy indicator window must show a yellow charged.''
Circuit breaker can be closed only if: It is opened It is charged Pop-out type fault indicator is correctly reset No remote opening order is intended.
The closing coil (XF) withstands a continuous voltage, providing anti-pumping function. If the circuit breaker is not ready to close when the closing order is intended, inhibit it and try again as soon as the circuit breaker is ready to close. To inhibit the anti-pumping function, wire in series the ready-to-close switch (terminals 251-252) with the closing coil.

CONTROL UNIT OPTIONS
Pre-trip and Overload Indication OptionThe pre-trip and overload indication is standard with all control units except STR 18 M. The overload indicator is a light-emitting diode (LED) which is: On when the current exceeds 90% of the current setting. Flashing on overload when current exceeds 105120% of current
setting.
The pre-trip alarm switch is a contact (LR1LR2) which closes when the circuit breaker is in the overload zone. It opens if the load decreases below the overload zone or if the circuit breaker trips.For wiring diagram, see page 46.
When a dc power source is used, power has to be temporarily disconnected to reset the optical triac contacts.

Thermal Memory Limitation Thermal memory is standard on the STR 38 S and STR 58 U trip units. The thermal memory function remembers the thermal heating from each time the pickup setting is exceeded.It operates: Before tripping on long-time and ground-fault protection (if provided). After tripping on long-time protection only; the time-constant depends on
the internal temperature of the circuit breaker.
Any temporary overload generates an overheating value, which is stored. A series of temporary overloads will be integrated into this overheating value. Storing of this value results in reduced tripping time so the reaction of the trip unit will be closer to the real heating seen by the system. The internal temperature rise of the circuit breaker is measured by thermal resistors. The cooling time constant of the memory depends on the over-temperature condition. The standard version of the control unit STR 58 is fitted with a min/max position switch.The min position cancels the thermal memory and must only be used in emergencies where reclosing on a fault is essential.WARNING
HAZARD OF PERSONAL INJURY OR EQUIPMENT DAMAGE.Use min position only for emergency, when reclosing on fault is absolutely necessary.Failure to follow this instruction can result in serious personal injury or equipment damage.

Fault Indication OptionThree light-emitting diodes (LEDs) indicate separately long-time, short-time/instantaneous and ground-fault trip. A flat push button allows resetting of the indicator after tripping.A separate power supply is required to maintain the fault indication after the circuit breaker trips. Two options are offered: Connecting a reliable 24 Vdc control voltage on F1-F2. Auxiliary power
module is used for other voltages. When the control source is unreliable, a bettery pack (BAT) is added to power module.
From a built-in battery module. When no external control source is available, a built-in battery module may be ordered (option PIL). This module integrates battery testing and indicator resetting buttons.

Battery Option
Load Monitoring OptionThe option R provides two independant static contacts which operate when the current exceeds adjustable pickup limits. When the current exceeds the limit Ic1 (or Ic2) the contact C-R1
(or C-R2) closes, following an inverse time characteristic a. When the current drops below the limit Ic1 (or Ic2) the contact C-R1
(or C-R2) opens with constant time delay (10 seconds) b.For wiring diagram see page 46.

Segregated Alarm Switch OptionThis switch works like the standard overcurrent trip switch (SDE) except a selector switch on the control unit is used to choose the type of fault which will operate the contact: overload, short-circuit, ground-fault or any combination of these types. This option can be used in addition to the SDE switch for remote signaling of particular types of faults.A flat push button allows resetting of the indicator after tripping.
Ground-fault Protection Option
Use 24 Vdc module when circuit breaker has ground-fault trip unit and when load is less than 20% of sensor or ground-fault pick-up is set in the red* (lower) zone.

Zone-selective Interlocking Option Option Z on the STR 58 U trip unit provides selective interlocking of short-time or ground-fault tripping.A control wire links several trip units in the distribution network, as shown in the figure below.In the event of a fault, the trip unit will obey the pre-set delay only if receiving a signal from the downstream unit. If not receiving a signal, tripping will be instantaneous (time delay corresponding to 0.1 setting of short-time protection). The fault is cleared instantaneously by the nearest circuit breaker. Thermal stresses (It) in the network are minimized, without any affect on
the correct time delay coordination in the installation.NOTE: On drawout circuit breakers, terminals are delivered with in terminals jumpered. Remove the jumper when interlocking with a downstream circuit breaker. The MASTERPACT circuit breaker may also be interlocked with
COMPACT CK type molded case circuit breakers with zone-selective interlocking option.
Do not ground.Fault 1
Circuit breaker (A) will clear the fault instantaneously, regardless of its time delay setting.Fault 2
Circuit breaker (B) will inform upstream circuit breaker (A) that it is clearing the fault so that circuit breaker (A) does not trip instantaneously. Circuit breaker (A) will trip at the end of its time delay setting if the fault is not cleared during this time.
Transmit Data from Trip Unit OptionThe DIGIPACT connections communicate over MODBUS (J Bus) and require the STR 58 U control unit with option C (communications) and modules: DC 150: Data concentrator SC150: Product indication and control interface

STACKING CONFIGURATIONS The following table shows some possible circuit breaker stacking configurations. These examples apply when the circuit breaker is used either as a main, a tie or a feeder circuit breaker.
The depth of the circuit breaker zone (14.25 in. [362 mm]) is equal to the depth of the circuit breaker compartment.
NEC 380-8 requires all switches and circuit breakers used as switches to be located so that they may be operated from a readily accessible location. They shall be installed so that the center of the switch or circuit breaker operating handle grip, when in its highest position, will not be more than 6.5 ft. (1.98 m) above the floor or working platform.
Customer allowable cumulative loading is as recommended in ANSI C 37.20.1.
Type MP, which is UL Listed under UL 489, is intended to be mounted in switchboards.
Type MC, which is UL Listed under UL 1066, is intended to be mounted in switchgear.
