MCCB I Nterlock

This document discusses installing sliding bar modules with Bowden cables to create interlocks between circuit breakers. The interlock uses a blocking principle where unlocking one circuit breaker locks the others in the OFF position. Sliding bar modules with slides are mounted on the circuit breakers and a Bowden cable is installed to prevent more than one from being released at a time, allowing only one circuit breaker to be ON. Bowden cable lengths of 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 meters can be ordered. Possible interlock combinations and handle positions when interlocking two or three circuit breakers are shown. Other accessories may not be installable when the front interlock module is used.

4.7.3.2 Sliding bar with Bowden cable: Modules for sliding bar with Bowden cable
A mutual interlock between up to three molded case circuit breakers can be implemented by
means of the front Bowden cable interlock. This interlock functions according to the blocking
principle: If one of the circuit breakers included in the interlock is unlocked, the Bowden
cables move in such a way as to ensure that the other molded case circuit breakers are
locked in the OFF (O) position.
In order to implement a front Bowden cable interlock, sliding bar modules must be mounted
on the 3VA molded case circuit breakers to be included in the interlock arrangement. Each of
these modules is equipped with a slide which blocks or releases operation of the handle.

4.7 Locking and interlocking

A Bowden cable must be installed in addition to the sliding bar modules. This cable prevents
the slides from releasing more than one molded case circuit breaker at any one time. As a
result, only one 3VA molded case circuit breaker at a time can be operated and only one
molded case circuit breaker can be in the ON (I) position.

① 3VA1 160 molded case circuit breaker, blocked by slide


② 3VA2 250 molded case circuit breaker, released by slide

Note
For installation instructions, please refer to operating instructions "Sliding bar modules".

Bowden cable lengths


The following lengths of Bowden cable can be ordered:
● 0.5 m
● 1.0 m
● 1.5 m
