INTERLOCK SYSTEM FOR A CIRCUIT BREAKER SYSTEM

An interlock system including an actuatable motor control assembly, a movable access door and an interlock assembly. The actuatable motor control assembly is structured to energize and de-energize a racking assembly motor. The movable access door is structured to move between an open, first position wherein the access door does not block access to a manual racking assembly socket, and, a closed, second position wherein the access door blocks access to the manual racking assembly socket. The interlock assembly is structured to detect the configuration of the separable contact assembly and the position of the access door, and, to actuate the motor control assembly so as to energize the motor only when the separable contact assembly is in an open, first configuration and when the access door is in a closed, second position.
