2-6 Adapting cassette
Drawout circuit breaker cassettes are built and shipped in
a “basic” configuration that can be adapted in the field to
mate with specific circuit breakers. Specifically, the rejection
interlock must be configured to the specific circuit breaker
to be mated with the cassette, and the automatic secondary
connections may have to be installed or upgraded. These
operations are described in the following sections.
2-6.1 Rejection interlocks
Within any one physical frame size, the drawout circuit
breakers come in a variety of continuous current and
interruption ratings, some of which are incompatible with
others. Double-wide circuit breakers also come with several
phase sequence options that are also incompatible. To
prevent the insertion of circuit breakers with (1) inadequate
interrupting capability, (2) with physically incompatible
primary disconnects, or (3) with an incompatible phase
sequence, rejection interlock key plates are provided on
both the circuit breaker and the cassette. The key plate
on the circuit breaker is pre-assembled at the factory; but
the cassette-side rejection plate and key pattern must be
assembled and installed by the switchboard builder.
CAUTION
Do not disable rejection interlocks. Doing so and using a
lower capacity circuit breaker in an incompatible cassette
could result in an electrical fault that could result in death,
bodily injury, and/or equipment damage.

The rejection interlocks are steel pins in the floor of the cir-
cuit breaker cassette. As the circuit breaker is pushed into
the structure, the mating pins on the bottom of the circuit
breaker move past a set of corresponding pins in the cas-
sette if the circuit breaker and cassette are compatible. If the
circuit breaker and the cassette are mismatched, the rejec-
tion pins will block the insertion of the circuit breaker into
the cassette before the levering-in mechanism is engaged.
Before attempting to push the circuit breaker into the
DISCONNECT position, compare the positioning of rejection
interlock pins in the cassette with the information supplied
on the circuit breaker’s nameplate. Proceed if the circuit
breaker and the cassette are compatible.
2-6.2 Installing secondary jumpers
On drawout circuit breakers, the automatic secondary
connector between the circuit breaker and the cassette can
be ordered either fully populated or depopulated (without
terminal blocks and jumper wires installed); these parts can
be ordered separately and installed by the customer. If the
necessary connections are not pre-installed, please contact
an Eaton representative. These kits can also be used to add
additional secondary wiring to upgrade circuit breakers in the
field.
