SUBJECT: SBOX CEE Form Sockets

PROBLEM

On certain 26 –200 kVA generator sets fitted with the SBOX CEE form sockets option, the switch
levers (1) on the RCBO and MCBs may be prevented from moving to the tripped position due to
restriction by the front cover plates as seen in Image 1.1. This does not prevent the device from
tripping internally and does not affect the safety of the operator.

SOLUTION

Replace the front cover plate and adjust the depth of the DIN rail mounting, thereby ensuring that
the RCBO and MCB levers have full freedom of movement.
