Table 7.1 will help to determine the probable causes of
simple circuit breaker problems and possible corrective
actions. Possible problems associated with the elec-
tronic trip unit are covered in companion publications,
I.L. 70C1037H04 and I.L. 70C1036H05. If the problem
cannot be resolved with the aid of one or both of these
guides, contact the Cutler-Hammer service center for
more in-depth assistance.
