EntelliGuard R Retrofill
Helps Make the Most of
Your Existing Equipment

Aging switchgear can often be a major cause of concern. Add to that the
normal wear and tear on low-voltage circuit breakers to create a situation
that may lead to a loss of system protection and reliability.

EntelliGuard R retrofill provides a streamlined solution to update your

legacy circuit breakers with a new EntelliGuard G circuit breaker, to give your AKD5
existing switchgear a new lease on life. In addition to providing a host of new
features, the EntelliGuard R retrofill solution offers the option to include the
EntelliGuard trip unit for both arc flash protection and selectivity at the same
time. The EntelliGuard R offers a means to increase reliability and enhance
the protection of your existing electrical system without requiring
a full system replacement.

The EntelliGuard R retrofill can provide savings right from the start because
it helps you make the most of your existing equipment. Since it is 100%
interchangeable with GE circuit breakers, it
• requires little to no cubicle modifications, minimizing shut down
time during replacement;
• interfaces with the original cubicle secondary disconnects,
position switches and neutral disconnects;
AKD6 and AKD8
• is compatible with shutters in existing circuit breaker cubicles;
• AK retrofills utilize the EntelliGuard G lifting bar;
• makes the secondary disconnect wiring connection with no
modifications to your switchgear;
• is available for GE and OEM built equipment.

AKD10

 E's exclusive ArcWatch technology uses instantaneous zone selective interlocking (I-ZSI)
G
and wave form recognition (WFM), and can reduce arc flash energy to <8 calories per CM2
without sacrificing selectivity settings. Learn more at www.geindustrial.com/arcwatch
