Entellisys Low Voltage Switchgear

Chapter 7. Operating the Switchgear


Drawout Operation

All breakers are supported on the drawout rails mounted on

the sidewalls of the breaker compartments. On EntelliGuard

breakers, two wheels on each side of the breaker rest on each

drawout rail.

Motion is provided by a mechanism mounted on the breaker.

This mechanism drives racking cams that engage pins

anchored to each side of the compartment.

The cams are driven by a removable racking handle that

engages the mechanism. On small frame breakers, the

handle is inserted through an opening in the breaker

escutcheon; on large frame breakers, the handle is inserted in

an opening in the upper right side of the door.

Turning the handle in a clockwise direction drives the

breaker into the compartment. As the breaker disconnect

fingers engage the stationary studs, a high force will be felt.

Turn the racking handle as far as it will go to be sure the

disconnect fingers are completely engaged.

The position indicator in the breaker escutcheon gives the

position of the breaker as it moves through the door cutout.
