Installation
(d) Move the blade in the
opening
direction and
verify each blade shunt contact fi rmly engages
its respective interrupter housing before the
blade contacts disengage from the stationary
main contact assemblies. See Figure 34. The
shunt contacts may be bent as required to
conform to these conditions.
(e) Also, as the blade assembly moves in the
opening
direction, the two blade-opening cams must
simultaneously make positive engagement with
their respective interrupter opening levers, as
shown in Figure 35. Simultaneity is essential to
ensure both interrupters share the interrupting
duty. The opening lever on one or both
interrupters may be bent slightly to attain
opening simultaneity.
(f) After opening the blade fully,
slowly
close the
blade and verify the two opening cams do not hit
the interrupter opening levers. See Figure 35.
