Mechanical interlocks determine the opening/closing logic between two or three circuit-breakers.
Four types of interlocks are available, usable in both fixed and withdrawable versions.
The Type A interlock is applicable to two circuit-breakers (normal power supply + emergency power supply).
It allows you never to have two circuit-breakers in the closed position at the same time.

The Type B interlock is applicable to three circuit-breakers (two normal power supplies + emergency power
supply).
It only allows the closing of the two circuit-breakers of the normal power supply if the circuit-breaker of the
emergency power supply is open. The circuit-breaker of the emergency power supply can be closed only if

the others two are open.

The Type C interlock is applicable to three circuit-breakers (two normal power supplies + a bus tie).
It allows the simultaneous closing of one or two circuit-breakers, resulting in two possible types of power
supply of the half busbars:
• power supply from a single transformer (bus tie closed)
O O
• power supply from both transformers (bus tie open)

The Type C interlock is applicable to three circuit-breakers (three power supplies on the same bar that must
not operate in parallel)
It allows only one of the three circuit-breakers to be closed.
