Page 8 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SAFETY DEVICES
Safety interlocks and guards are provided as an
integral part of the equipment design. These
devices are provided for safety to the operator.
Never defeat, modify or
bypass any safety devices,
interlocks or operating
mechanism. This would
make the equipment
unsafe. Fire, explosion,
severe injury, death and
property damage could
occur.
Do not operate this
equipment unless all
covers and panels are in
place.
INTERLOCK RELEASE LEVER
The interlock release lever on the front of the
circuit breaker (Fig. 3) prevents moving the
circuit breaker to or from the CONNECTED
position while it is ON (main contacts closed).
If the circuit breaker is ON, the interlock release
lever cannot be raised, preventing movement of
the breaker in or out of the cell. If the lever is
raised when the circuit breaker is OFF, an
interlock prevents the circuit breaker from closing
until the lever is returned to its lowered position.
Hazard of fire, explosion,
severe injury, death and
property damage.
Never attempt to move a
circuit breaker that is ON
(main contacts closed) into
or out of the CONNECTED
position.
Never attempt to forcibly
override the interlock
release lever.
