ABSTRACT:
Each section of a three-phase metal enclosed switchgear unit is provided with main through horizontal bus and vertical section bus. The front of each switchgear section is divided into vertically disposed enclosures for housing circuit breakers or circuit interrupting devices. The circuit breakers are mounted close to the vertical section bus with the front of the circuit breaker and the circuit breaker operating handle recessed from the front of the switchgear section. Pan or well-shaped front covers, having a bottom surface flushed with the circuit breaker fit over the front of the vertically disposed enclosures and are mounted to the front of the switchgear section. Different depth wells or pans are used for the front cover, with the depth being determined by the circuit breaker physical size, which is dependent on the breaker rating. The surface of the well flush with the circuit breaker device has a cutout through which the circuit breaker operating handle projects. The front cover wells provide a dead front construction with easy access to the circuit breaker operating handles. A portion of the cover well approximately flushed with the front of the circuit breaker can have additional cutouts for showing breaker rating and providing easy access to external magnetic breaker adjustments.
