Type Data

Lockable Trip Push Mounted in place of normal trip push button. With this, ACB can be locked
Button (LTPB)
in trip condition. For interlocking, LTPBs are offered in the following
combinations:
l 4 different types of keys i.e. AA, BB, CC and DD suitable for 2 I/C & 1 B/C
schemes
l Combination of L, M, N, LM and MN locks, which are suitable for
3 I/C & 2 B/C schemes
l Combination of K, L, M, N, KL, LM and MN locks, which are suitable for
4 I/C & 3 B/C schemes
l Combination of J, K, L, M, N, JK, KL, LM and MN locks, which are
suitable for 5 I/C & 4 B/C schemes

View of the Cradle Locking in Isolated Position (LIP)

The facility of locking the ACB in Isolated position is available in Drawout
ACBs. This is useful to achieve interlocking between Main & Standby
source. Similar lock is available as LOCK IN ANY POSITION.

Door Interlock
This ensures:
Door Racking Locking in lUnless the panel door is closed, breaker cannot be racked in or out
Interlock Interlock ‘Isolated’ lUnless the breaker is in Isolated Position, it is not possible to open the
Position panel door

Racking Interlock
This ensures that breaker cannot be racked in/out unless the ACB is in
tripped/open condition.

Mechanical Interlock It is possible to provide ‘Mechanical Interlock’ between two breakers of

the same or different ratings in vertical or horizontal configurations.
Mechanical interlock is available for ACBs up to 4000A. Mechanical
interlocking for ACBs in vertical configuration can be provided by links or
by flexible cables. Same for horizontal configuration can be provided by
flexible cables.
