Before installing any circuit breaker into a 

compartment, the user MUST verify that the 

circuit breaker rating meets or exceeds the 

metal-clad switchgear rating.

CAUTION

CAUTION

!

Follow the steps below to insert the circuit 

breaker into the switchgear compartment:

Prior to inserting the circuit breaker into the 

circuit breaker compartment, make sure that 

the control circuits are deenergized.

CAUTION

CAUTION

!

Prior to inserting the circuit breaker into the 

circuit breaker compartment, ensure that the 

circuit breaker is OPEN and the mechanism is 

discharged.

CAUTION

CAUTION

!

Before using the electric racking device verify 

compliance with IB-65010A and IB-65000.

Prior to inserting a circuit breaker into the 

compartment, the levering-in mechanism 

must be in the “TEST/DISCONNECT” position 

or damage may occur to the circuit breaker or 

the switchgear.

CAUTION

1)  Racking Mechanism

The racking mechanism is an integral 

part of the switchgear for PV System 38® 

equipment.  The racking device provides a 

means of moving the circuit breaker from 

the “TEST” to “CONNECT” position, a means 

of mechanically tripping the breaker with 

the door closed, and the required safety 

interlocks.  The mechanism is located 

directly above the circuit breaker, engaging 

the circuit breaker in the center and moving 

it between the “TEST” and “CONNECT” 

positions smoothly.  A visual indication of 

the circuit breaker position is given on the 

front of the racking mechanism.

2)  Inserting the Circuit Breaker Into the 

Compartment

To insert the circuit breaker into the 

compartment:

a.  Align the breaker wheels with the 

enclosure floor pan channels.

b.  Roll the breaker part way into the 

enclosure.  It will be stopped by an 

interlock rod on the top left side of 

the circuit breaker once it reaches the 

“DISCONNECT” position.

c.  Insert the secondary disconnect plug 

into the socket on the circuit breaker.  

The interlock rod will drop and the 

secondary disconnect plug will be held 

captive in the circuit breaker.

d.  Roll the breaker forward to the “TEST” 

position.  The breaker will be stopped 

by the roller on the end of the racking 

shaft, which will enter the L-shaped slot 

on the top of the circuit breaker.

e.  The outer door of the compartment 

may be closed over the circuit breaker 

at this point.
