 in Conntct Position

g.  (Domestic Version)  In the “test” position, the breaker can be 

operated manually and electrically, thus allowing maintenance 

tests or checks. To operate the breaker electrically, the secondary 

control block must be engaged at this time. The slider is located 

on the lower right hand area of the circuit breaker frame. If 

electrical testing is desired at this stage, engage the secondary 

control block slider by releasing the slide latch and pushing 

the slider toward the rear several inches. Push firmly on the 

front side of the slider until the contact block engages with the 

corresponding cell receptacle. Return the manual motor cutoff 

switch to the “on” position. The spring charging motor will begin 

to run and charge the closing spring. The breaker is now in 

the “test” position, with control voltage applied, and ready for 

electrical or manual testing.

g.  (Canadian Version)  In the test position, the breaker can be 

operated manually and electrically, thus allowing maintenance 

tests or checks. To operate the breaker electrically, the secondary 

block must be engaged. On Canadian versions, the secondary 

block for 250Vdc versions is located on the lower, rear, center of 

the breaker. Other Canadian versions, the secondary disconnect 

operates in a manner similar to the domestic US models detailed 

above. The secondary block automatically engages in the test 

position. Return the manual motor cut-off switch to the “on” 

position. The spring charging motor will begin to run and charge 

the closing springs. The breaker is now in the “test” position, with 

control voltage applied, and ready for manual or electrical testing.

 with centered secondary disconnect block)

h.  To install the breaker in the connected position the levering 

handle will have to be used. Insure the breaker is open and 

engage the levering handle with the breaker and floor levering 

cutouts. (See Figure 5.5)

i.  Depress the Interlock Pedal and start levering in the breaker by 

shifting the levering handle back and forth. Once movement has 

started, the pedal should be released. The closing springs may be 

in the charged state but the internal PS switch will open circuit 

the close spring release coil  (preventing an electrical close). 

At this point any attempt to mechanically close the breaker will 

cause a trip-free operation with no recharging of the closing 

springs  (PS2 has open-circuited the charging motor circuit and 

the Interlock Pedal operation has automatically turned the motor 

cutoff switch to “off”). As advancement into the cell continues, 

the primary voltage source shutters will open allowing the breaker 

stabs to engage with the source.

j.  Continue moving the breaker into the cell using the levering 

handle from the test position until a mechanical stop is reached. 

This is the fully engaged or connected position. The connect 

position can be verified by the inability to move the breaker 

in or out, the Interlock Pedal is up and has released the trip 

mechanism, and the cell label “operating” is visible on the floor of 

the cell in front of the breaker’s left front wheel. Manually return 

the motor cutoff switch to the “on” position. The breaker is now 

ready for service.

5.10.3   REMOVAL PROCEDURE (LEVERING-IN VERSION)

To remove the breaker from the cell it must be in the open position. 

Insure the breaker is open and engage the levering handle. 

The Interlock Pedal must be depressed which will raise the trip 

mechanism and trip the breaker. Move the breaker out using the 

levering handle illustrated in Figure 5.5. The breaker will start coming 

out of the cell before the main stabs are disconnected and will be in 

a non-operable mode and will go through a trip-free operation if any 

attempt to close it is made in the intermediate position. Also, the 

secondary control block will disengage automatically before the main 

stabs are disconnected. 

otte:

N

(Canadian Version)  The secondary block will remain connected until the 

breaker is removed from the test position.

The shutters will close after the main stabs have cleared, isolating 

the breaker from its source. Continue levering out until the position 

indicator on the floor of the cell shows test and the Interlock Pedal 

rises to lock the breaker in position. At this time you are in the test 

d.  Push the circuit breaker into the cell until all the wheels are on 

the guide rails and the spring discharge linkage has not cycled. 

(For Canadian breakers, the interlock plunger will rest in the 

first cell position.)  No mechanical stop will be reached. This is 

the “disconnect” position and the breaker can still be operated 

because there is no interface of the cell floor interlocks with 

breaker interlock linkage. No cell labeling is provided to verify this 

position. 

e.  Depress the pedal and push or lever the breaker further into the 

cell. (Figure 5.3) 

otte:

N

Depressing of the Interlock Pedal automatically positions the motor 

cutoff switch to “off”.

f.  Once movement has started, the Interlock Pedal should be 

released if depressed. The levering handle may be required to 

move the breaker completely into the test position and its use is 

illustrated in Figure 5.3. An audible click of the interlock plunger 

engaging the interlock rail will be observed when moving from 

the disconnect position. The Interlock Pedal will travel down at 

the beginning of movement and rapidly rise to lock the breaker in 

the test position at the end of the normal travel from disconnect 

to test. The movement of the handle provides an open signal 

that remains throughout all intermediate breaker positions and 

the floor trip will be combined with a closing signal between the 

disconnect and test position to discharge the closing springs. 

The breaker remains in the trip-free state until the test position is 

reached. The test position can be verified by the inability to move 

the breaker in or out, the Interlock Pedal is in the up position, and 

the cell label “test” is visible on the floor of the cell in front of the 

breaker’s left front wheel.
