ContactErosionIndicator
After witherawing the circuit breakerfrom the compartment cn removableextension rails, the contact erosionindicator (one for each vacuum inter -rupter) can be visually inspected.When the circuit breaker is in theclosed position, the T-culout (contactwipe spring Indicator) can be visuallyInspected. If the T-cutout Is seen, thecontact wipe springs are applyingproper contact pressure. Only occa-sional visual inspection is required.
