Description
Stationary and Moveable Drawout Elements
Simplified Minimum Depth Drawout Mechanism
The two elements of a drawout constructed SB Encased Sys-
tems Breaker are the stationary drawout element and the
moveable drawout element. The stationary drawout element
mounts from the front or bottom into a standard switchboard.
Bottom mounting flanges are provided for optional mounting
arrangements. The moveable drawout element mounts onto
the stationary drawout element’s two extension rails. This
allows the moveable drawout element to be racked in and out
of the stationary drawout element. For inspections, the move-
able drawout element must be removed from the extension
rails to a work area. Refer to outline drawings of the two types
of drawout elements starting on page 36.
Each moveable drawout element has four positions: (1) Con-
nected, (2) Test, (3) Unlocked (only), and (4) Unlocked/With-
drawn. A racking mechanism with a low-force pump handle
moves the moveable drawout element between the con-
nected, test, and unlocked positions. The pump handle is an
integral part of the racking mechanism, and no auxiliary racking
device or tool is required. In the unlocked position the move-
able drawout element is disengaged from the racking mecha-
nism. The moveable drawout element can be easily pulled
between the unlocked position and the withdrawn position. A
color-coded indicator displays the connect, test, and unlocked
positions of the moveable drawout element.
Stationary Drawout Element
The integral pump handle and two levers are used to control
the movement of the moveable drawout element. A single
release lever automatically locks the moveable drawout ele-
ment when it reaches the test or the connected position. The
moveable drawout element is released to move to the next
position by simply pushing and releasing the release lever.

Pushing the release lever with the SB breaker contacts
closed opens the breaker. You do not have to hold the
release lever to rack the moveable drawout element. A direc-
tional shift lever determines the direction the moveable
drawout element will move when the pump handle is pulled or
pushed.
Secondary disconnect sliding terminal blocks for terminating
internal accessories are mounted on the sides of the station-
ary and moveable drawout elements. The secondary discon-
nects are mated as the moveable drawout element is moved
from the withdrawn position to the unlocked position. The ter-
minal points of the secondary disconnects are identified on
page 59. Step-by-step instructions for operating the racking
mechanism begin on page 18.
