• VDE type with red handle and yellow bezel for machine tool control
Variations
Accessories transform the standard direct rotary handle for the following situations:
• Motor control centers (MCCs):
– Opening of door prevented when circuit breaker is on
– Closing of circuit breaker inhibited when door is open
• Machine tool control; complies with CNOMO E03.81.501N; degree of protection IP54

Door Mounted Rotary
Operating Handle
Installation
The door-mounted (extended) rotary operating handle is made up of:
• A unit that replaces the front accessory cover of the circuit breaker (secured by screws)
• An assembly (handle and front plate) on the door that is always secured in the same position, whether the
circuit breaker is installed vertically or horizontally
• An adjustable extension shaft
• The handle mechanism can be used in NEMA 3R and 12 enclosure applications
Operation
The door mounted operating handle makes it possible to operate a circuit breaker installed in an enclosure with
the enclosure door closed. The door mounted operating handle maintains:
• Suitability for isolation
• Indication of the three positions OFF (O), ON (I) and tripped
• Visibility of and access to trip unit settings when the door is open
• Degree of protection: IP40 as per IEC 529
Defeatable interlock prevents opening of door when circuit breaker is on
The circuit breaker may be locked in the off position by using one to three padlocks, padlock shackle diameter
0.19–0.31 in. (5–8 mm); padlocks are not supplied; locking prevents opening of the enclosure door
Shaft
Length
The shaft length is the distance between the back of the circuit breaker and the door:
• Minimum shaft length is 7.4 in. (185 mm)
• Maximum shaft length is 24 in. (600 mm)
• Extended shaft length must be adjusted
Models
• Standard with black handle
• VDE type with red handle and yellow bezel for machine tool control
Variations
For drawout configurations, the extended rotary handle is also available with a telescopic shaft containing two
stable positions
