Table 1. Catalog numbers and ratings for Record Plus™ shunt trip and undervoltage release accessories.
Step 1 – Unpack and Inspect
Unpack the shunt trip or undervoltage release kit and
inspect it for shipping damage. Read the circuit breaker
installation instructions carefully. Insure that the circuit
breaker and the accessory have the proper ratings for
current, voltage, interruption, and contact duty; wire
routing; installation; and operation for the application.
Accessories with the catalog number suffix W are factory
equipped with #18 AWG wire leads, 36 inches long.
Shunt trip leads are black and undervoltage release
leads are blue.
Step 2 – Breaker Status
Either trip the circuit breaker by activating the red trip
button on the front of the breaker or move the breaker
handle to the
OFF position, both shown in Figure 2.
Step 3 – Installation
1. Loosen, but do not remove, the captive screws
holding the accessory cover on the circuit breaker,
as shown in Figure 3 for an FB100 and FC100
breaker and in Figure 4 for an FE150 or
breaker Figure 5 for an FG400/FG600 Breaker.
Remove the cover.

3. If the accessory was not factory wired, connect the
–
leads to the lugs on the accessory, as shown in
Figure 6. For screw-type terminals, the
recommended wire size is #24–16 AWG (0.4–2.5
2
), with 600-V insulation, and a maximum
mm
diameter of 0.100 in. (2.54 mm). Tighten the
terminals to 11 lb-in (1.2 Nm).
Step 4 – Wire Routing, Cover
Knockouts, and Port Wiring
Determine the wire routing, as shown in Figure 7, as
follows:
• For an FB/FC breaker, use ports B, F, D, and H.
• For an FE/FG breaker, use a sharp knife or wire
cutter to remove the knockouts in the breaker
accessory cover.
te the accessory wiring out of the breaker through
Rou
the exit ports, being careful to dress the wiring from the
accessory without pinching the insulation.
Table 2 lists the maximum
port. The maximum number of wires per port is based
on an insulation outside
mm). Scale the given number of wires up or down for
wires with a different diameter.

Step 5 – Attach the Label and
Replace the Breaker Cover
Attach the accessory label to the side of the breaker as
shown in Figure 7.
Replace the breaker cover, as illustrated in Figure 3 ,
Figure 4 and Figure 5. Tighten the mounting screws to
11 lb-in (1.2 Nm).

Step 6 – Check Breaker
Functions
Perform operational checks to insure proper
functioning of the new accessory.
• For a shunt trip, apply the rated voltage and verify
that the breaker trips.
• For an undervoltage release, apply the rated
voltage to allow the breaker to close, then remove
the voltage and verify that the breaker trips.
See NEMA publication AB4 for further details.
WARNING: It is important that the cover is installed
correctly to ensure proper circuit breaker operation.
AVERTISSEMENT: Il es important de verifier que
tout cuvercle ou cache de protection est
correctement installe afin d’assurer le bon
fonctionnement de l’appareil.
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 further 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.
