walls and the cutout. Optimum results are achieved here by additionally attaching a cover
frame (Page 378).
An opening in the panel through which the crank handle can be inserted must be provided in
addition to the cutout for the door feedthrough.
With its straight sides, the door feedthrough is designed to allow the molded case circuit
breaker to be moved through positions DISCON, TEST and CONNECT, while at the same
time providing a permanently tight seal around the feedthrough area (degree of protection
IP30) and preventing access to live components inside the panel.
Markings are visible on the door feedthrough to help the user identify the current position of
the molded case circuit breaker as it is moved into or out of the panel. Since mounting
dimensions may vary slightly, however, these markings should be regarded as a rough guide
only. The crank handle mechanism provides the user with feedback information about the
molded case circuit breaker position, e.g. whether it has been correctly inserted.
Benefits of draw-out technology
