1. Uvod

This manual provides essential information for the safe and correct installation, operation, and maintenance of the ABB KT5300-3 Lug Kit. This kit is specifically designed for use with ABB T5 Series Tmax Molded Case Circuit Breakers, accommodating wire sizes from 250 kcmil to 500 kcmil.

Please read this manual thoroughly before proceeding with any installation or maintenance procedures. Retain this manual for future reference.

2. Sigurnosne informacije

WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Only qualified personnel should perform installation and maintenance procedures. Failure to follow these instructions can result in serious injury or death.

• Always disconnect power to the circuit breaker before installing or servicing the lug kit. Verify that the power is off using a suitable voltage tester.
• Koristite odgovarajuću ličnu zaštitnu opremu (LZO), uključujući izolirane rukavice i zaštitu za oči.
• Ensure all connections are properly torqued to prevent loose connections, which can lead to overheating and fire hazards.
• Pridržavajte se svih lokalnih i nacionalnih električnih propisa i standarda.

3. Proizvod je gotovview

The ABB KT5300-3 Lug Kit consists of three individual lugs designed for connecting electrical conductors to a T5 Series Tmax Molded Case Circuit Breaker. Each lug is constructed to ensure a secure and reliable electrical connection.

Sadržaj kompleta:

• 3 x Lug Terminals (for 250-500 MCM wire)
• Associated mounting hardware (screws, washers)
• 3 x Insulating barriers/covers (white plastic components)

4. Upute za instalaciju

Follow these steps carefully to install the lug kit onto your ABB T5 Series Tmax circuit breaker.

1. Prepare the Circuit Breaker: Ensure the circuit breaker is de-energized and locked out according to safety procedures. Remove any existing covers or accessories that obstruct access to the terminal connections.
2. Prepare the Conductors: Strip the insulation from the ends of the 250-500 MCM conductors to the length specified by the circuit breaker or lug manufacturer, typically ensuring full insertion into the lug barrel without exposed conductor beyond the lug.
3. Attach Lugs to Breaker: Position each lug terminal onto the corresponding terminal pad of the circuit breaker. Secure the lugs using the provided mounting hardware. Refer to the circuit breaker's manual for specific torque values for these connections.
4. Insert Conductors: Insert the stripped end of each conductor fully into the barrel of its respective lug terminal. Ensure no stray strands are present.
5. Tighten Lug Screws: Using an appropriate tool, tighten the set screw on each lug terminal to the recommended torque value. This value is crucial for a reliable electrical connection and is typically found on the lug itself or in the lug kit documentation. Overtightening or undertightening can cause damage or create a hazardous connection.
6. Install Insulating Barriers: Once all conductors are securely connected and torqued, install the white plastic insulating barriers over the lug connections. These barriers provide protection against accidental contact with live parts. Ensure they snap securely into place.
7. Provjerite instalaciju: Double-check all connections for tightness and proper insulation. Ensure no tools or debris are left inside the enclosure.
8. Vrati snagu: Once installation is complete and verified, restore power to the circuit breaker following established safety protocols.

5. Održavanje

Regular inspection of the lug kit and its connections is recommended to ensure continued safe and reliable operation.

• Periodični vizuelni pregled: Annually, or more frequently in harsh environments, visually inspect the lugs and conductors for signs of overheating (discoloration), corrosion, or physical damage.
• Nepropusnost veze: If signs of overheating are observed, or as part of a routine maintenance schedule, verify the torque of the lug set screws and the lug mounting screws. Always de-energize the circuit before performing this check.
• čistoća: Keep the area around the circuit breaker and lug connections clean and free of dust and debris.

6. Otkrivanje problema

This section addresses common issues that may arise during the installation or operation of the lug kit.

• Conductor will not fit into lug:
  • Verify the conductor size is within the 250-500 MCM range.
  • Ensure the conductor strands are not splayed or damaged. Re-strip if necessary.
• Lug feels loose after tightening:
  • Ensure the lug mounting hardware is correctly installed and torqued to the circuit breaker.
  • Verify the conductor is fully inserted into the lug barrel before tightening the set screw.
  • Re-check the torque value for the set screw.
• Signs of overheating (discoloration, melting insulation):
  • Immediately de-energize the circuit.
  • Inspect all connections for proper torque. Loose connections are a primary cause of overheating.
  • Check for proper conductor sizing relative to the load.
  • Consult a qualified electrician for further diagnosis and repair.
