Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a method of moving and altering movement of a breaker mounted spring discharge interlock lever during racking and unracking of a breaker with an enclosure. The method includes, rotating a racking screw to rack the breaker into or out of the enclosure, rotating a shaft in operable communication with the racking screw, translationally moving a cam with a link having one end disconnectably connected to the cam and an opposing end disconnectably connected to a crank, that is fixedly attached to the shaft, translationally moving a cam follower that is in operable communication with the cam, moving the breaker mounted spring discharge interlock lever that is in operable communication with the cam follower, and enabling removal and replacement of the cam by disconnecting the cam from the link, thereby enabling the movement of the breaker mounted spring discharge interlock lever to be altered.
