Troubleshooting

DANGER

HAZARD OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, EXPLOSION, OR ARC FLASH

  • This equipment must be installed and serviced only by qualified electrical personnel.
  • Troubleshooting may require energizing auxiliary devices with a test power supply. Make sure that the test power supply is off before connecting or disconnecting it to the auxiliary device.
  • Do not touch the terminals of the device during the test.

If problems occur during installation, refer to the troubleshooting guide below. If trouble persists, contact the local Square D field office.
Turn off all power supplying this equipment before working on or inside the equipment.

Condition Possible Causes Solution
The circuit breaker fails to stay closed 1. Magnetic trip adjustment too

low.
2. Undervoltage trip not energized.
3. Shunt trip energized.
4. Short circuit or overload on the system.| 1. Adjust magnetic trip adjustment.
2. Energize Undervoltage trip.
3. De-energize the shunt trip.
4. Check the system for short circuits or overload.
Circuit breaker trips, but no short circuit or
overload is evident.| 1. Magnetic trip adjustment too low.
2. Voltage below Undervoltage trip setting.| 1. Adjust magnetic trip adjustment.
2. Check the system for low voltage.
Push-to-trip button will not trip the circuit breaker.| The circuit breaker is already tripped or in the off (O) position.| Move circuit breaker handle to reset then to on (I).
