The following interlocking systems are available for 3VA molded case circuit breakers:
● Front interlock
● Rear interlock
Front interlock
All front interlocks are installed on the front panel of the 3VA molded case circuit breaker.
Front interlocks make it impossible to install some other external accessories such as motor
operator, rotary operators, etc. They also partially restrict access to internal accessories
compartments.
Rear interlock
The rear interlock does not affect the front panel of the 3VA molded case circuit breaker. All
components of the interlocking system are concealed behind the molded case circuit breaker
or the mounting plate.
