4 Instruction Book IB182071EN SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION Eaton s RPR-2 provides a means of remotely racking most Power Circuit Breakers that utilize the rotation of a shaft for insertion and removal. The person can be 25 feet or more away from the switchgear door during the racking process. This need for distance away from the switchgear is due to safety precautions from potential Arc Flash occurrences. 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 o F. Conductor materials melt into metal vapor and the surrounding air is ionized. If the arc is outside 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 in a switchgear cabinet, the rapidly escalating pressure will 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. Many Arc Flash incidences with Low Voltage and Medium Voltage switchgear occur during the process of inserting and removing (racking) Power Circuit Breakers in switchgear cubicles. Personnel are typically within two feet of the front of the power circuit breaker during the racking process and this close proximity to an Arc Flash can cause serious injury. Published records indicate over 2000 people are treated annually in burn centers from exposure to Arc Flash and some result in death. A company s financial exposure is rarely less than $100,000 for medical care and insurance claims per incident. NFPA 70E provides guidance for the requirements of personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect personnel from 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 RPR-2 can allow personnel to wear a lower level of PPE, increasing worker comfort and mobility, while operating the RPR-2 from an increased distance from the power circuit breaker. Since personnel can be outside the Arc Flash protection boundary while operating the RPR-2, the power circuit breaker door does not have to be closed during the racking process. Closed door racking is possible with many designs, however structure modifications may be necessary. Customer surveys have shown that any remote racking device must: Be easily and quickly set up Does not require programming Be portable and easy to maneuver Be capable of racking numerous manufacturers models of power circuit breakers The RPR-2 system is the solution that provides the value and features customers request. The RPR-2 unit comes pre-programmed for up to eight different power circuit breakers. The programs are pre-selected by the customer to meet their requirements, and the unit is programmed per these requirements at the Power Breaker Center. No additional programming is necessary; simply select the applicable program for the power circuit breaker. 1.1 VISUAL PRESENTATION Remote Power Racking System Eaton provides additional documentation designed to enhance the technical information provided in this instruction booklet for the RPR-2.

6 Instruction Book IB182071EN Remote Power Racking System SECTION 2: SAFE PRACTICES Eaton s RPR-2 assists in the insertion and removal of power circuit breakers. Although proper use of the RPR-2 reduces the probability of injury by increasing the distance of the qualified operating personnel from the arc flash boundary, must follow local safe practices and the requirements of personal protective equipment (PPE) to protect personnel from arc flash exposure as determined by NFPA 70E. TO PROTECT THE PERSONNEL ASSOCIATED WITH INSTALLATION, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE OF POWER CIRCUIT BREAKERS, THE FOLLOWING PRACTICES MUST BE FOLLOWED: Only qualified persons, as defined in the National Electrical Safety Code, who are familiar with the installation and maintenance of power circuit breakers and equipment, should be permitted to insert or remove power circuit breakers. Read these instructions carefully before attempting any installation, operation or maintenance of power circuit breakers. Refer to the OEM power circuit breaker instruction manual for proper installation and operation procedures of each power circuit breaker the RPR-2 is intended to rack. Power circuit breakers are equipped with safety interlocks. Do not defeat them. This may result in death, bodily injury or equipment damage. Do not leave the breaker in an intermediate position in the cell. Always have the breaker either in the Test or Connected position. Failure to do so could result in a flash over and possible death, personnel injury or property damage. Always remove the RPR-2 device from the breaker before attempting to charge, close or operate the breaker. 6

7 Remote Power Racking System Instruction Book IB182071EN SECTION 3: RECEIVING, HANDLING, AND STORAGE Remote Power Racking units are subjected to complete factory production tests and inspection before being packed. They are shipped in containers designed to provide maximum protection to the equipment during shipment and storage and at the same time to provide convenient handling. 3.1 RECEIVING Until the RPR-2 unit is ready to be delivered to the switchgear site for usage, DO NOT remove it from the shipping container. If the RPR-2 unit is to be placed in storage, maximum protection can be obtained by keeping it in its container. A 120V power supply will be needed for the UPS at this time. shelter from sun, rain, snow, corrosive fumes, dust, dirt falling objects, excessive moisture, etc. must be provided. If the building is not heated, containers should be arranged to permit free circulation of air on all sides and temporary heaters should be used to minimize condensation. Moisture can cause rusting of metal parts. A heat level of approximately 400 watts for each 100 cubic feet of volume is recommended with the heaters distributed uniformly throughout the structure near the floor. Figure 3.2. RPR-2 Transport Latch Upon receipt of the equipment, inspect the containers for any signs of damage or rough handling. Open the containers carefully to avoid any damage to the contents. Use a nail puller rather than a crow bar when required. When opening the containers, be careful that any loose items or hardware are not discarded with the packing material. Check the contents of each package against the packing list. Examine the RPR-2 unit for any signs of shipping damage such as broken, missing or loose hardware, damaged or deformed components. File claims immediately with the carrier if damage or loss is detected and notify the nearest Eaton s Electrical Service and Systems Office. After examining the unit place the RPR-2 in a location which has a 120V power supply for the UPS. Figure 3.3. RPR-2 Storage Cover Figure 3.1. Typical Tools and Accessories 3.2 HANDLING The RPR-2 unit shipping containers are designed to be handled by a fork lift truck. If containers must be skidded for any distance, it is preferable to use roller conveyors or individual pipe rollers. When the RPR-2 unit is ready for use, it can be rolled upright with the casters or tilted back and rolled on the larger wheels. 3.3 STORAGE If the RPR-2 unit is to be placed in storage, maximum protection can be obtained by keeping it shielded with the provided cover (Figure 3.3). Before placing it in storage, checks should be made to make sure that the RPR-2 unit is free from shipping damage and is in satisfactory operating condition. The RPR-2 unit is shipped with the Transport Latch engaged (Figure 3.2). The RPR-2 unit requires a 120V power supply for the UPS during storage and must remain plugged in during this time. Outdoor storage is NOT recommended. Indoor storage should be in a building with sufficient heat and circulation to prevent condensation. The building must be well drained and a temporary 3.4 RPR-2 APPROXIMATE WEIGHTS Refer to Table 2. Table 2.

Follow all precautions and requirements listed in the circuit breaker IB for racking the breaker. 2) Move the RPR-2 unit in front of the switchgear cell. Open the cell door to allow for access to the rotary type racking mechanism of the breaker. If the cell has closed door racking capability, insert the racking adaptor through the provided opening with the cell door closed. 3) Verify that the power circuit breaker is open and ready to be racked in from the correct position. The position depends on what type of power circuit breaker is being inserted. This position is determined by the ability to rack in the given power circuit breaker from the position that it can be racked completely into the Connected position without needing any adjustments (foot pedal pressed etc.). This is the Test position for HK breakers. 4) If engaged, release the Transport Latch to allow for vertical movement of the Power Module. (Figure 3.3) 5) Turn on the Powerware UPS for the RPR-2 by pressing the On button for approximately five seconds and allow for the unit to initialize.
