WARNING
TYPE DSII AND DSLII BREAkERS ARE PROTECTIVE DEVICES. AS
SUCH, THEY ARE MAXIMUM CURRENT RATED DEVICES. THEREFORE,
THEY SHOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE APPLIED OUT-
SIDE THEIR NAMEPLATE RATINGS. OPERATION OUTSIDE OF THESE
RATINGS COULD RESULT IN DEATH, BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY
DAMAGE.
1-2 SAFETY FEATURES
Types DSII and DSLII Circuit Breakers and associated drawout
equipment are manufactured with built-in interlocks and safety
related features. They are provided to reduce hazards to operat-
ing personnel and provide proper operating sequences.
WARNING
TYPES DSII AND DSLII CIRCUIT BREAkERS ARE STRONGLY BUILT AND
PROVIDED WITH SAFETY FEATURES. NEVERTHELESS, THE VOLTAGES,
CURRENTS AND POWER LEVELS AVAILABLE IN AND AROUND THIS
EQUIPMENT WHEN IT IS IN OPERATION ARE EXTREMELY DANGER-
OUS AND COULD BE FATAL UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
INTERLOCkS AND OTHER SAFETY FEATURES BE MADE INOPERATIVE,
AS THIS MAY RESULT IN DEATH, BODILY INJURY OR PROPERTY DAM-
AGE.
1-3 SAFETY PRACTICES
To protect personnel associated with the installation, operation
and maintenance of this equipment, the following practices

2. Always be certain that the primary and secondary circuits are
de-energized or the circuit breaker is removed to a safe work
location before attempting any maintenance.
3. For maximum safety, only insert a completely assembled
breaker into an energized cell.
