Mechanical interlocking
MC9 circuit breaker are designed for use with a number of mechanical interlock systems suitable for use with thermal magnetic, magnetic only, non automatic and electronic circuit breakers. Each system only permits one of the two interlocked devices to be switched to the 'on' position.


Electrical interlocking
Two devices can be electrically interlocked by using a combination of shunt and/or undervoltage releases with auxiliary contacts of the early closing and breaking type. The MC9 undervoltage and shunt release are designed to allow their use as interlocking devices and use a twin coil actuator design. Rotary handle mechanisms are available with early closing and breaking auxiliary contacts.
