ProTrip™ Conversion Kits

For GE Types AK-50, AKU-50, AKS-50,

AKT-50, AK-75, and AK-100 Low-Voltage

Power Circuit Breakers

INTRODUCTION

GE Conversion Kits are designed for upgrading existing GE low-voltage power circuit breakers, rather than replacing the entire breaker. The Con- version Kits include ProTrip™ Trip Units, the latest technological advance in GE trip systems.

ProTrip Conversion Kits are designed and tested to conform to ANSI Standard C37.59, allowing the retrofitter to properly install the kit and acceptance test the breaker.

This publication covers installation of ProTrip Con- version Kits on GE types AK-50, AKU-50, AKS-50, AKT-50, AK-75, and AK-100 low-voltage power circuit breakers. Each Conversion Kit contains all the components needed to convert from an existing GE type EC trip system.
