The remote close solenoid is included with electrically
operated breakers and may be ordered as a factory-
installed option in manually operated breakers. Catalog
numbers and specifications are listed in Table 8.
Remote charge indication provides for remote indication
that the breaker closing springs are charged. Catalog
numbers are TPXCAS and TSXCAS for 800–2000 A and
for 3000–4000 A frames, respectively. The switch is rated
at 15 A for 250 Vac and at 0.5 A for 125 Vdc. Figure 41 is
the wiring diagram for remote charge indication. Figure
42 is the wiring diagram for remote charge indication
with a remote close solenoid.
