Circuit Breaker.
Racking Mechanism
When installed in the circuit breaker compartment, the circuit
breaker is supported by two steel tracks, one on each side
of the enclosure. Once the circuit breaker is locked into the
DISCONNECTED/TEST position within the cell, the racking
mechanism is used to move the circuit breaker between
the DISCONNECTED/TEST and CONNECTED positions. This
mechanism is contained in the undercarriage of the circuit
breaker. The racking mechanism is manually operated, utilizing
the racking handle furnished with the switchgear.
The circuit breaker cannot be moved between the CONNECTED
and DISCONNECTED/TEST positions unless it has been
opened. The circuit breaker cannot be closed unless it is in the
CONNECTED or DISCONNECTED/TEST position.
For detailed explanation of the racking mechanism refer to
SECTION 7: “Circuit Breaker Operation.”
Remote Racking System (Optional)
The optional electrically operated remote racking device (see
Figure 3-18) provides a convenient means for racking a circuit
breaker between the CONNECTED and DISCONNECTED
positions from a remote location. It is easily mounted on the
SecoGear circuit breaker compartment door and is designed for
quick transfer between units.
The remote racking operator is furnished with a Remote
Switch Operator. Please allow the Remote Switch Operator
to fully charge before operating.
The Remote Switch Operator includes a Wireless Control
Operator with a range of 300 ft. For more details, refer to
