Door Interlock Assembly
The door interlock assembly (see Figure 14), when used with the isolation switch,
provides these interlocking features:
• When the isolation switch handle is in the ON position, a pin on the
handle overlaps the Z-clip to help prevent the door from being opened.
• When the door is closed and the isolation switch handle is in the ON
position, a cover catch inside the door is held in place by the interlock
defeater lever. This feature provides another means for holding the door
closed while the unit is energized.
ATT EN TI ON : The door interlock assembly must be installed for the isolation
switch handle to restrict access to the medium-voltage cell while the unit is
energized. The isolation switch handle alone does not provide safety
interlocking. If the door interlock assembly is not installed, the OEM assumes
the responsibility for providing a means to isolate the medium-voltage
power cell while the unit is energized. Failure to install a medium-voltage
power cell isolation means can expose personnel to medium-voltage that can
cause severe burns, injury, or death.

IMPORTANTAll mounting hardware for the door interlock assembly is supplied. Metric
equivalents are provided if you wish to substitute metric hardware.
1. Mount the door interlock assembly. See Figure 16 for the dimensions.

IMPORTANTThe mechanical interlock is the primary safety mechanism that helps prevent
access to the medium-voltage power cell. The mechanism also helps prevent
the isolation switch from being opened or closed while under load (meaning,
it is a non-load-break switch).
A secondary electrical interlock is intended to disengage the contactor if a
mechanical interlock failure occurs. See
Isolation Switch Auxiliary Contacts
on page 42 for additional information.
When properly connected, the isolation switch operating mechanism is designed
to provide these safety features:
• Prevent the opening of any medium-voltage door that is interlocked with
the mechanism while the handle is in the ON position and the unit is
energized.
• Prevent moving the handle to the ON position and providing energy to
the unit while the medium-voltage door is open.
• Disengage the contactor from the RUN mode when the handle is moved
from the ON to OFF position.

Perform the handle mechanism connection with the handle in the OFF position.
The isolation switch must be in the open position with isolation switch blades
rested against the ground bar (see Figure 17
).

Adjustments for 400 A Equipment
IMPORTANTFor proper functionality of the isolation switch assembly, perform the
following adjustments in the order they are presented.
ATT EN TI ON : The door interlock mechanism is designed to stop access to the
medium-voltage cell while the unit is energized. When the unit is in
operation, do not circumvent this interlocking safety feature. Always
disconnect and lockout incoming power (See
page 36) before proceeding with any adjustments that require the handle to
be moved to the ON (closed) position. Failure to do so can result in electric
shock with severe burns, injury, or death.
Power Lockout Procedure on
Some of the following sections require the isolation switch handle to be in the
ON position while the medium-voltage door is open. The interlocking
safeguards in the mechanism are designed to stop the handle from moving to the
ON position while the cabinet door is open.
• To circumvent this safety feature, use a screwdriver, or other tool, to
depress the interlock defeater lever in the switch.
• Hold the lever down while moving the handle to the ON (closed)
position.

Power Lockout Procedure
AT TE NT IO N: Always perform the power lockout procedure before servicing
the equipment. Use personal protective equipment (PPE) as per local codes or
regulations. Failure to do so can result in severe burns, injury, or death.
ATT EN TI ON : The following procedure requires the isolation switch handle to
be in the ON position. To avoid shock hazards, disconnect and lockout
incoming power before proceeding with the equipment servicing. Failure to
lockout incoming power results in a live power cell once the isolation switch
handle is in the ON position. The live power cell can cause severe burns,
injury, or death. Rockwell Automation® does not assume any responsibility
for injuries to personnel who have not completed the following safety
procedure before servicing the equipment.
1. Disconnect and lockout all feeder power supplies to the starter.
2. Move the isolation switch handle to the OFF position.
3. If the unit is equipped with power factor correction-capacitors, the stored
energy must be dissipated before entering the power cell. Wait at least 5
minutes before entering the power cell or dissipate the power with this
procedure:
a. Verify that the isolation switch handle is in the OFF position.
b. Open the low voltage door.
c. Plug the appropriate power supply (120V or 230V) into the auxiliary

Adjusting the “Change of State Point”
IMPORTANTThis procedure sets the secondary electrical interlock. When properly
adjusted, the electrical interlock is designed to open the control-circuit
power connections before the isolation switch opens when the handle is
moved to the OFF position.
1. Once the auxiliaries have been adjusted, move the isolation switch handle
to the ON position.
2. Connect a conductivity measurement device across the closed auxiliary
contacts.
3. Slowly move the isolation switch handle towards the OFF position and
observe the point at which the movable isolation-switch blades separate
from the incoming line stabs. The auxiliary contacts must change state
from the closed to open position before the isolation switch blades lose
contact with the incoming line stabs. This change of state stops the
isolation switch from being opened while the unit is energized and under
load conditions.
ATT EN TI ON : The auxiliary contacts must be properly adjusted to avoid
opening the isolation switch under load conditions. Improper adjustment can
result in damage to the equipment and/or severe burns, injury, or death to
personnel.
4. If the auxiliaries do not change state before the isolation switch opens,
adjust the threaded connecting rod as described in Isolation Switch
Ground Adjustment on page 41.

Hi-pot and Insulation
Resistance Test
Insulation integrity must be checked before energizing electrical equipment. Use
a high-voltage AC insulation tester or an insulation resistance tester for this test.
If an insulation resistance tester is used, a 5000V type is recommended.
ATT EN TI ON : Exercise caution when performing high-voltage tests on the
equipment. Failure to do so can result in electric shock, severe burns, injury,
or death.
ATT EN TI ON : To avoid shock hazards, lockout incoming power before working
on the equipment. Verify with a hot stick or appropriate voltage
measurement device that all circuits are voltage free. Failure to do so can
result in severe burns, injury, or death.
Insulation can be tested from phase to phase and from phase to ground. The
recommended level for an AC Hi-Pot test is (2 X V
rated line-to-line voltage of the power system. The leakage current must be less
than 20 mA. Record the result for future comparison testing.
If an insulation resistance tester is used, it must indicate 50 megohms or greater if
the unit is isolated from the line and the motor. If the unit is connected to a
motor, the insulation resistance tester must indicate 5 megohms or greater.
