Drawout Mounting
The cradle is made up of two side plates installed on the plug-in base and two other plates mounted on
the circuit breaker.
The drawout mounting provides all of the functions of the plug-in base, plus:
• Disconnected position—the power circuit is disconnected, the circuit breaker is simply withdrawn
and may still be operated (on, off, push-to-trip)
• Circuit breaker may be locked using 1 to 3 padlocks, diameter 0.19 to 0.31 inch (5–8 mm), to
prevent connection
• Auxiliaries can be tested using manual auxiliary connector
Drawout mounting is on a backplate:
• Through a front panel or on rails
• Horizontally or vertically
Accessories for drawout circuit breakers:
• Auxiliary contacts indicator for installation on the fixed part of the cradle, indicating the “connected”
and “disconnected” position
• Toggle collar for circuit breakers with toggle through front panel, intended to maintain the degree of
protections whatever the position of the circuit breakers (supplied with a toggle extension)
• Keylock which can be used to
— Prevent insertion for connection
— Lock the circuit breaker in the connected or disconnected position
• Telescopic shaft for extended rotary handles
• Control voltage, which is provided through automatic secondary disconnect in the connected
position only. Electrical accessories can be tested in the disconnected position with an external
wiring harness.
The drawout-mounted cradle is listed under UL file E113555 and certified under CSA file LR69561.
