Product Description
These instructions describe the installation
procedures for the Motor Operator Mechanism
accessory on
Record Plus™
circuit breakers, as
illustrated in Figure 1.

Step 3 – Operation
Description
A motor Operated mechanism is designed to
open, close, and reset a circuit breaker by remote
control.
In an operating installation, the customer must
supply normally open ON and OFF push –
buttons, external wiring, a control power source
and any control circuitry.

REA
Electrical Operation
With the breaker and operating mechanism in
their OFF positions, press ON button to energize
the motor, closing the breaker. When the breaker
handle reaches the ON position, an internal limit
switch disconnects the control circuitry.
When the OFF button is pressed, the motor is
energized, opening the breaker. After the breaker
handle reaches the OFF position, a limit switch deenergizes the control circuit.
When the circuit breaker trips automatically, there
is no external trip indication, unless a separate bell
alarm accessory is provided to actuate a warning
device. It is necessary to press OFF to reset the
breaker.
Automatic Reset
For automatic reset, an auxiliary switch, available
as an accessory, returns the breaker to the
OFF/RESET position after it has tripped. The
switch is mounted inside the breaker and wired in
parallel with the OFF button. When the breaker
trips, the switch closes, moving the breaker handle
to OFF/RESET position. After the motor-operated
mechanism has reset the breaker, the limit switch
again opens the circuit. To use automatic reset,
the ON push – button must be SPDT type and
wired as in Figure 7. (The Auto/ Reset scheme
applies to AC devices only and is not applicable to
DC applications).

These instructions do not cover all details or variations in equipment nor do they provide for every possible
contingency that may be met in connection with installation, operation, or maintenance. Should furthe
information be desired or should particular problems arise that are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s
purposes, the matter should be referred to the GE Company. The circuit breaker is a sealed unit that contains no
user-serviceable parts. Tampering with the seal will void the warranty.
