➭ Switch the three-position disconnector to READY-TO-EARTH position
(see page 155, "Activating the ready-to-earth function manually").
➭ Close the circuit-breaker (see page 148, "Closing the circuit-breaker manually").
➭ Pull the moving part of the "feeder earthed" locking device upwards.
➭ Padlock the locking device.
38.2 Feeder de-earthing
➭ Remove the padlock at the “feeder earthed” locking device.

ATTENTION
If the "feeder earthed" locking device is activated and padlocked, the circuit-breaker cannot be

In circuit-breaker operating mechanisms with undervoltage release, the circuit-breaker trips
automatically after removing the padlock if
➭ the panel is earthed and
➭ auxiliary voltage is available.
