Circuit breaker positions in the guide frame
Using the racking handle, the circuit breaker can be put in three dierent positions in the guide
frame:
• CONNECT:
The circuit breaker is connected to the main circuit. The auxiliary circuits are also closed.
• TEST:
In the TEST position, the main contacts of the circuit breaker are not connected to the main
circuit, only to the auxiliary circuit. This allows the functionality of the auxiliary circuit and all
of its components (auxiliary switches, auxiliary releases, communication, etc.) to be tested
when the main circuit is open.
• DISCON:
The circuit breaker is not connected to the main circuit nor to the auxiliary circuit. In the
DISCON (DISCONNECT) position, it can be removed from the guide frame.
The circuit breaker position is indicated below the hole for inserting the racking handle.
