    • 1200 A GE TKM breaker replacement in motor control centers and feeder cells
    • Switchgear refurbishment where original mounting hardware is corroded or lost
    • Outage scope that requires breaker draw-out, bus inspection and re-seating
  • Installation Requirements:
    • Install with breaker in disconnected/draw-out position and enclosure locked out
    • Use supplied hardware only; do not mix with non-GE longer bolts that can penetrate insulation
    • Torque all mounting bolts to GE TK-breaker manualvalues
    • Verify door/interlock linkage travels freely after kit installation
    • Confirm breaker stabs align with bus before racking in
  • Usage Precautions:
    • This is a mechanical kit, not a current-carrying part; never use as bus splice or ground jumper
    • Keep small hardware in original bag until point of use to avoid FOD (foreign object debris) in switchgear
    • Inspect insulation barriers and breaker frame for damage before reusing kit hardware
    • Dispose of deformed or thread-stripped bolts; do not reuse locking nuts
