Carriage Position Switch (TOC)
Available as an option for mounting within the base of the
cassette/substructure, the carriage position switch provides
six single-pole changeover contacts (single pole, double
throw) for local or remote electrical indication of the circuit
breaker status: CONNECTED, TEST and DISCONNECTED. The
DISCONNECTED position is indicated only when minimum
isolating distances between contacts on both the main and
auxiliary circuits have been achieved. This option is in
addition to the mechanical indicators, which are fitted as
standard. When installed, the carriage switch is IP2X
protected. For use with drawout breakers/cassettes Tables
4.16 and 4.17).

The drawout mechanism allows the breaker to be racked in
four distinct positions (CONNECTED, TEST, DISCONNECTED,
WITHDRAWN).
Mechanical Interlocks (Cable/Rod) (OEM Applications
Only)
Available for fixed and draw-out circuit breakers, these units
enable the direct interlocking of EntelliGuard G circuit
breakers, either mounted side-by-side or stacked. The
interlocking mechanisms are connected by a specially
designed cable or rod in a 1 from 2, 1 from 3, and 2 from 3
configuration, and any mix of current ratings/pole
configurations can be accommodated Table 4.18).

Mechanical interlocks can be fitted to electrical systems and
can link two and/or three circuit breakers. Any nominal
rating, frame size, number of poles or type (fixed pattern or
draw-out) can be interlocked.
