Circuit breaker positioning 

The IZM drawout circuit breaker has four normal positions:

• 

REMOVE (withdrawn) (

Figure 7

)

• 

DISCONNECT (

Figure 8

)

• 

TEST (

Figure 9

)

• 

CONNECT (

Figure 10

)

The REMOVE position is a position outside the compartment  

on the cassette’s drawout rails where the circuit breaker is not 

engaged with the levering mechanism. The DISCONNECT, TEST, 

and CONNECT, positions are reached by means of the levering 

mechanism. 
With the breaker solidly positioned on the cassette’s extension rails 

and levering-in mechanism in the DISCONNECT position, carefully 

and firmly push the circuit breaker into the compartment as far as it 

will go. The outer (recessed) portion of the circuit breaker faceplate 

should align with the GREEN target line (labelled DISC) on the inside 

top-left wall of the cassette (

Figure 11

).
