Rollout carriages will be shipped in a slightly
open position, which are held in place by two
angle shipping brackets bolted to the left and
right support plates.
Remove and discard the brackets and the
hardware, which are used to attach them to the
support plates. See Figure 25.
Figure 25 Angle Shipping Bracket
Close the rollout carriage carefully, ensuring
that the primary and secondary disconnect
devices align properly, and that the carriage
closes completely. Also, confirm the operation
of the interlocks provided with the control
power transformer and fuse rollouts. The
rollouts function as follows:
1) Control Power Transformer Rollout
The secondary circuit breaker is mounted
inside the front cover of the rollout, with
its operating handle projecting through
the cover. The interlock mechanism deters
opening or closing of the rollout carriage
unless the secondary circuit breaker is in
the “off” position.
To close the carriage, operate the secondary
circuit breaker to the “off” position, lower
the interlock slider, and turn the “T” handle
counterclockwise. It should not be possible
to close the secondary circuit breaker with
the interlock in this position. Close the
carriage in a smooth but brisk motion, and
turn the “T” handle clockwise raising the
interlock slider, and operate the secondary
circuit breaker to the “on” position. With
the interlock in this position, it should
not be possible to turn the “T” handle
counterclockwise far enough to unlatch the
carriage, or to roll out the carriage.
To open the carriage, reverse the above
procedure, withdrawing the carriage in a
smooth but brisk motion, to prevent arcing
between the contacts.
2) Fuse Rollout
Fuse rollouts are normally interlocked
with the secondary circuit breaker of the
transformer that the fuses protect, using a
key interlock system. The secondary circuit
breaker is provided with a key interlock
which releases a key only when the circuit
breaker is locked in the “off” position. The
rollout carriage is provided with a key
interlock, which deters opening or closing
of the carriage unless the key is retained
and the bolt is withdrawn.
