GE Industrial Solutions Record Plus Cable Operating Mechanism: FC100, FE250 - Manual (Page 8)

Step 5 – Operation
Normal Operation
Move the handle to the ON position to close the
breaker or to the OFF position to open the breaker.
Reset the Breaker after a Trip
To reset the breaker after a trip, move the handle
beyond OFF position and then back ON.
Handle Padlock
When the handle is in the OFF / RESET position,
it can be padlocked to prevent the handle’s being
moved to the ON position to close the breaker.
Insert the shank of a padlock through the slot in
the handle, shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10, and
the corresponding hole in the handle support.
Figure 10. Handle in ON position, showing the interlock
defeat screw and the padlock slots.
Door Interlock
When the breaker is turned ON with the handle
operator, the interlock blade [9] normally engages
the interlock hook [15] to prevent the enclosure
door from opening. If it is necessary to open the
door with the breaker ON, turn the interlock defeat
screw, shown in Figure 10, counterclockwise to
move the interlock blade out of the way of the
interlock hook, which allows the door to be
opened.
These instructions do not cover all details or variations in equipment nor do they provide for every possible
contingency that may be met in connection with installation, operation, or maintenance. Should further
information be desired or should particular problems arise that are not covered sufficiently for the purchaser’s
purposes, the matter should be referred to the GE Company. The circuit breaker is a sealed unit that contains
no user-serviceable parts. Tampering with the seal will void the warranty.
