Ordering Info
Compartment Switch Options
Available as an option for mounting within the base of the cassette/substructure or compartment, the position
switch provides six single-pole changeover contacts for local or remote electrical indication of the circuit breaker
status: CONNECTED, TEST, and DISCONNECTED. The DISCONNECTED position is indicated only when the minimum
isolating distances between contacts on both the main (primary disconnects) and auxiliary (secondary
disconnects) have been achieved. This option is in addition to the mechanical indicators, which are fitted as
standard components. When installed, the switch is IP2X-protected and includes wiring to a terminal block on
the left side of the cassette.
Table 2 displays the available normally-open and normally closed switches. The
ratings for position switches are shown in Table 3 .

AKD-5—AK25 Position Switch Actuator
Description
The position-switch actuator assembly for the AK25 should be mounted on the bottom plate of the cassette assembly
of the AK25 retrofill. The actual actuator assembly consists of two plates, one each on the top and bottom of the
baseplate. The top plate of the actuator interfaces with the breaker when it is racked in and its motion is transferred
to the bottom plate, which interfaces with the position switch lever on the legacy compartment.
Completing the racking in of the EntelliGuard breaker into the cassette corresponds to the end-of-stroke of the
position switch system in the compartment for AK25 in AKD-5 LVS.
Figure 2 shows the exploded view of the AK25
retrofill position-switch actuator (actually a bracket assembly); Figure 3 displays the assembly from the bottom.
