Closing (i.e. turning the circuit ON) is possible only if the circuit breaker is
"ready to close".
The prerequisites are the following:
b device open (OFF)
Device not "ready to close" b springs charged
b no opening order present.

If the circuit breaker is not "ready to close" when the order is given, stop the order
and start again when the circuit breaker is "ready to close".

particular before using a Masterpact device
A general check must be carried out:
for the first time. b prior to initial use
b following an extended period during which the circuit breaker is not used.
Electrical tests
Insulation and dielectric-withstand tests must be carried out immediately after
delivery of the switchboard. These tests are precisely defined by international
standards and must be directed and carried out by a qualified expert.
Switchboard inspection
Check that the circuit breakers are installed in a clean environment, free of any
installation scrap or items
(tools, electrical wires, broken parts or shreds, metal objects, etc.).
Operation
Check the mechanical operation of the circuit breakers:
b opening of contacts
b closing of contacts.

Ambient temperature
Masterpact NW devices can operate under the following temperature conditions:
b the electrical and mechanical characteristics are stipulated for an ambient
temperature of -5° C to +70° C
b circuit-breaker closing is guaranteed down to -35° C
b Masterpact NW (without the control unit) can be stored in an ambient
temperature of -40° C to +85° C
b the control unit can be stored in an ambient temperature of -25° C to +85° C.
Test
Masterpact NW devices have successfully passed the tests defined by the following
standards for extreme atmospheric conditions:
It is nonetheless advised to check that the devices are installed in suitably cooled
switchboards without excessive dust.
Vibrations
Masterpact NW devices resist electromagnetic or mechanical vibrations.
Tests are carried out in compliance with standard IEC 68-2-6 for the levels required
by merchant-marine inspection organisations (Veritas, Lloyd's, etc.):
b 2 to 13.2 Hz: amplitude ±1 mm
b 13.2 to 100 Hz: constant acceleration 0.7 g.
Test
Altitude
Masterpact NW devices are designed for operation at altitudes under 2000 metres.
At altitudes higher than 2000 metres, the modifications in the ambient air (electrical
resistance, cooling capacity) lower the following characteristics.
2000 m
Electromagnetic disturbances
Masterpact NW devices are protected against:
b overvoltages caused by devices that generate electromagnetic disturbances
b overvoltages caused by an atmospheric disturbances or by a distribution-system
outage (e.g. failure of a lighting system)
b devices emitting radio waves (radios, walkie-talkies, radar, etc.)
b electrostatic discharges produced by users.
Cleaning
b non-metallic parts:
never use solvent, soap or any other cleaning product. Clean with a dry cloth only
b metal parts:
clean with a dry cloth whenever possible. If solvent, soap or any other cleaning
product must be used, make sure that it does not come into contact with
non-metallic parts.
