Figure 29d shows the REMOVE position. Here the inter-
lock cam stops with the shutter interlock pin blocked.
Thus the shutter stays down and the breaker stays
tripped when the crank handle is removed. The breaker
is held trip-free, so it cannot be closed. Also, by another
interlock described later, the close-release latch cannot
be released.

Interlock

The purpose
of
this interlock is to operate the
close-release latch as the breaker is moved out
beyond TEST position. This causes a trip-free opera-
tion
of
the closing mechanism because it occurs
while the levering device crank handle is necessarily
still on the worm shaft, and the closing springs are
charged if the breaker is electrically operated. This is
