Fig. 3 Interlock Release Lever
INTERLOCK RELEASE LEVER
The interlock release lever on the front of the circuit breaker (Fig. 3) prevents moving the circuit breaker to or from the CONNECTED position while it is ON (main contacts closed).
If the circuit breaker is ON, the interlock release lever cannot be raised, preventing movement of the breaker in or out of the cell. If the lever is raised when the circuit breaker is OFF, an interlock prevents the circuit breaker from closing until the lever is returned to its lowered position.
DANGER
Hazard of fire, explosion, severe injury, death and property damage.
Never attempt to move a circuit breaker that is ON (main contacts closed) into or out of the CONNECTED position.
Never attempt to forcibly override the interlock release lever.
