Introduction

• Eaton’s MRR1000 provides a means of remotely inserting or removing any drawout circuit breaker in the Magnum PXR and Magnum DST families of power circuit breakers. In addition, the MRR1000 enables the operator to remotely open and close any Magnum PXR or Magnum DS circuit breaker using the pushbuttons on the face of the breaker. Increased safety precautions and the need to protect personnel from the dangers of potential arc flash occurrences suggest the need to increase the distance between an operator and the front of a switchgear or switchboard during racking operations. With the MRR1000, an operator can be up to 25 feet away from the breaker compartment door during the rack-in or rack-out process.
• Electric arcs result from thermal ionization that occurs when current flow is interrupted by the separation of conductors. Thermal ionization can generate temperatures as high as 35,000 °F. Conductor materials melt into metal vapor and the surrounding air is ionized. If the arc is external of the interrupting chamber of a power circuit breaker, then a violent explosion occurs resulting in an inferno of ionized gases, molten debris, metal shrapnel, and a flash of light (arc flash). When arc flash initiates within a switchgear/switchboard cabinet, the rapidly escalating pressure can dislodge compartment doors and side sheets of the switchgear and turn hardware into high-speed projectiles.
• Arc flash levels are a function of circuit voltage, maximum available short circuit current at the point of flashover, conditions of confinement, and the distance between the point of flashover and the point of measurement.
• Operating personnel are typically within two feet of the front of the power circuit breaker during the racking process. In the event of an arc flash event, this close proximity could cause serious injury or death. NFPA 70E provides guidance for the requirements of personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect personnel from the dangers of arc flash exposure. PPE for high levels of arc flash can be bulky, hot, and uncomfortable. This may dissuade personnel from wearing proper protection. The best way to limit exposure to arc flash during the process of racking power circuit breakers is to put more distance between the person and the possible point of exposure.
• Eaton’s remote racking device fulfills the objective of increased worker safety by permitting routine operations from an increased distance from the power circuit breaker.

DANGER

• WHEN SWITCHGEAR IS CERTIFIED TO BE ARC-RESISTANT PER IEEE C37.20.7, THE ARC-RESISTANT RATING IS ONLY VALID WHEN ALL DOORS ARE CLOSED AND PROPERLY LATCHED OR BOLTED, AND ALL COMPONENTS ARE INSTALLED AND WORKING PROPERLY. IN ADDITION, REMOVAL OF ANY BREAKER FROM ITS CELL WITHOUT REINSTALLING
• A BREAKER OR ARC-RESISTANT PROVISION COVER WILL VOID THE ARC-RESISTANT RATING. FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING ARC-RESISTANT SWITCHGEAR, SEE IB0191007EN FOR MAGNUM PXR AND IB01900001E FOR MAGNUM DS, LISTED IN SECTION 7.

Compatibility

The remote racking device is compatible with any drawout breaker in the Magnum PXR or Magnum DS families of power circuit breakers. This includes the Magnum PXR and Magnum DS standard frame, narrow frame and doublewide frame rated for switchgear (IEEE), Power Defense SB and Magnum SB switchboard class and IEC 60947-2 applications, as well as CM52 network protector breakers. The application may be used while enclosed in Magnum PXR and Magnum DS low-voltage switchgear and switchboards with the breaker compartment door closed. The MRR1000 is also compatible with arc-resistant Magnum PXR and Magnum DS switchgear and also compatible with Magnum PXR and Magnum DS families of drawout power circuit breakers in other OEM installations.

CAUTION

• THE CASE DIMENSIONS, RETENTION METHOD, AND OPERATING MECHANISM OF THE MRR1000 ARE DESIGNED TO WORK EXCLUSIVELY WITH THE MAGNUM PXR AND MAGNUM DS FAMILIES OF POWER CIR-CUIT BREAKERS. ANY ATTEMPT TO USE THE DEVICE WITH ANOTHER MANUFACTURER’S BREAKER WILL PUT THE OPERATOR AT RISK OF INJURY AND WILL VOID THE WARRANTY.
• Unlike some remote operating devices, the MRR1000 requires no additional mounting kit on the body of the circuit breaker or on the surface of the switchgear/switchboard. In fact, no modification or additional tools are required. The MRR1000 utilizes features found on every breaker of the Magnum PXR and Magnum DS families, making it convenient to install and use.

Procedures

General

Magnum PXR and Magnum DS switchgear and switchboard enclosures use a through- the-door racking method that increases operator safety when inserting or removing power circuit breakers. The MRR1000 permits operation while the breaker compartment door remains closed, even in arc-resistant enclosures. However, in some OEM supplied enclosures, through-the-door racking may not be possible. The MRR1000 is fully functional and not reliant on the presence or absence of a door to operate. However, for the purposes of this instruction, it will be assumed the breaker compartment door is closed.
Follow all procedures defined by the using company’s Personal Protective Equipment and Safety Policy. Follow all precautions and requirements listed in the installation, operating, and maintenance instructions of the subject circuit breakers.

Unpacking—preparations for use

1. Remove all packing materials, unwind power cord and pendant control cord.
2. Obtain 120 Vac power. Use of a standard extension cord is permissible with a minimum of 6 A current capacity.
3. Connecting power to the unit will activate the “READY” light on the faceplate (there is no “on/off” switch). However, no operation will begin until use of pendant buttons as described in Steps 4.3.3 and 4.4.3, below.

Procedure for removing a power circuit breaker

Installation on the circuit breaker face

1. The face of a typical Magnum PXR circuit breaker is shown in Figure 1, and a typical Magnum DS circuit breaker is shown in Figure 2. Note the small recessed cavity in the upper right-hand corner. This cavity is the principal element for retention of the MRR1000—ensure this cavity is free from contaminants such as dust, grease, or oil.

2. Ensure the shaft/motor assembly is in the rear-most position. Pull the handle attached to the shaft/motor assembly firmly rearward to verify the assembly is seated in the rear detent.

3. Ensure the locking handle is in the unlocked position (Figure 3). If the handle is in the locked position, pull out the locking pin as shown to release the handle.

4. Lift the MRR1000 to the level of the selected power
   circuit breaker.

5. Align the top flange and two side flanges of the housing with the nose of the circuit breaker and insert through the breaker compartment door. The rubber gasket that surrounds the breaker face will easily push aside. (On arc-resistant style breaker doors, the retractable bellows will also permit insertion of the remote racking device.)

Figure 1. Magnum PXR circuit breaker

1. Align the neoprene lock (Figure 4) with the cavity noted above (Figure 5). Push the housing of the MRR1000 against the body of the circuit breaker until it stops.
2. While supporting the weight of the MRR1000, rotate the locking handle forward until it clicks into place (Figure 6).

WARNING

FAILURE TO FULLY ENGAGE THE NEOPRENE LOCK WILL RESULT IN POOR CONTACT WITH THE BREAKER CAVITY, INCREASING THE RISK OF THE UNIT FALLING DURING OPERATION. IN ADDITION, FAILURE TO FULLY ENGAGE THE LOCKING HANDLE PREVENTS REMOTE OPERATION. SEE TROUBLESHOOTING IN SECTION 6.

1. An installed MRR1000 is shown in Figure 7.

Engaging the shaft/motor assembly

1. Ensure the breaker is in a de-energized state. This can be accomplished by opening the breaker using control circuits within the switchgear/switchboard assembly or using the MRR1000 remote close/trip described in Section 4.5.
   NOTICE

   • FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS ON THE INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE MAGNUM PXR AND MAGNUM DS FAMILIES OF CIRCUIT BREAKERS, REFER TO THE PUBLICATIONS LISTED IN SECTION 7 OF THIS DOCUMENT.

2. Lift the levering device access door immediately in front of the square drive shaft (Figure 8). If the breaker has not been de-energized, this door WILL NOT OPEN.

   • DANGER
   • DO NOT TRY TO DEFEAT THIS INTERLOCK. ATTEMPTING TO RACK OUT AN ENERGIZED BREAKER MAY RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

3. Using the handle on the rear of the shaft/motor assembly, gently push the motor toward the breaker. The assembly will disengage from the detent and slide forward.

4. In most instances, the square drive shaft will not by default align with the square drive socket within the circuit breaker. While pushing gently on the handle and simultaneously using the adjustment buttons on the faceplate display labeled: “JOG IN” or “JOG OUT” (Figure 9), the drive shaft can be minutely rotated to permit alignment of the two mating parts. Once aligned, push the shaft into the socket until it stops.

Remote operation

1. If the unit was not connected to AC power in Step 4.2, do so now.

2. The “READY” light on the faceplate display will indicate the status of the unit.

3. Using the remote operation pendant (Figure 10) move an acceptable distance away from the unit. The maximum extension of the control cord is 25 ft (7.6 m). Ensure the operator will be able to see the faceplate display on the housing of the MRR1000. Visibility of the “TURNING” light (Figure 9) is important as described in Step 5 below.

4. The operating pendant requires two hands to operate.
   The “ENABLE” button must always be depressed to activate any of the other buttons. Depressing the “ENABLE” button will cause the “READY” light on the pendant to illuminate. If the “READY” button does not illuminate, see Troubleshooting in Section 6.

5. An acceptable distance shall be determined by completing an Arc Flash Incident Energy Calculation and by using the company’s Personal Protective Equipment and Safety Policy.

6. To begin the removal of the circuit breaker, depress and hold the green “OUT” button. The motor will begin to turn and the “TURNING” light on the faceplate will begin to blink. The “TURNING” light will blink repeatedly while the shaft is rotating.

7. The circuit breaker and the MRR1000 will begin to travel out of the cell.

   • NOTICE
   • THE CIRCUIT BREAKER MECHANISM IS INTERLOCKED SUCH THAT CHARGED CLOSING SPRINGS ARE AUTOMATICALLY DISCHARGED IF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS LEVERED INTO OR OUT OF THE CELL. DISCHARGE TAKES PLACE BETWEEN THE DISCONNECT AND TEST POSITION. THIS IS A NORMAL OPERATION.

8. When the “TURNING” light ceases to blink a the breaker levering device has reached the end of its travel.
   Release the buttons on the pendant to stop the motor. The breaker’s “DISCONNECT” position can be verified by the status indicator in the lower right corner of the breaker face (Figure 11).

   • Depending on the position of the shaft/clutch mechanism, the “TURNING” light may be either off or steady on to indicate a stopped condition.
   • CAUTION
   • THE MOTOR DOES NOT HAVE AN AUTOMATIC SHUT-OFF. ONCE THE BREAKER LEVERING DEVICE REACHES THE END OF ITS TRAVEL,
   • THE MOTOR WILL CONTINUE TO TURN WHILE THE SHAFT/CLUTCH MECHANISM (FIGURE 11) WILL COMPENSATE FOR THE INCREASED
   • TORQUE BY SLIPPING BETWEEN THE SHAFT AND MOTOR. CONTINUING TO OPERATE THE MOTOR FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD PAST
   • THE OPERATING LIMITS WILL CAUSE EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE CLUTCH AND MAY PREMATURELY SHORTEN THE LIFE OF THE REMOTE RACKING UNIT.

9. Withdraw the shaft/motor assembly from the drive socket by pulling rearward on the handle. If the shaft seems to bind with the drive socket, utilize the “JOG IN” or “JOG OUT” buttons described in Step 4.3.2 above to free the shaft.

10. The levering device access door will close. If the door does not close, the breaker is not fully in the “DISCONNECT” position.

11. While supporting the weight of the MRR1000, pull out the locking pin (Figure 3) to release the locking handle and rotate the handle rearward. The unit can now be removed from the circuit breaker.

CAUTION

Procedure for remotely tripping or closing a power circuit breaker

General

• The MRR1000 offers the added safety feature of opening or closing the breaker contacts from a distance using the remote pendant.
• These instructions assume the breaker is contained within the breaker compartment with the MRR1000 attached to the face of the breaker per the steps outlined in other portions of this instruction booklet.

Operation

1. The levering device access door on the face of the breaker must be closed for any open or close operations to function
   (Figure 1 and Figure 2). This is an internal safety feature of the Magnums PXR and Magnum DS families of circuit breakers. Failure to close this door will not prevent operation of the MRR1000, but operation of the open/close buttons will not produce any change of state inside the circuit breaker.

   • NOTICE
   • FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS ON INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF THE MAGNUM PXR AND MAGNUM DS FAMILIES OF CIRCUIT BREAKERS, REFER TO THE PUBLICATIONS LISTED IN SECTION 7 OF THIS DOCUMENT.

2. To open or close a circuit breaker, move an acceptable distance a away from the unit with the remote operating pendant in hand. The maximum extension of the control cord is 25 ft (7.6 m).
