Interlock system for a circuit breaker system

An interlock system for a circuit breaker system, said circuit breaker system including an enclosure, a racking assembly, and a circuit breaker assembly, said enclosure defining an enclosed space, said racking assembly including a carriage, a manual racking assembly, a motor, and a position indicator, said racking assembly carriage structured to move between a number of set positions including a disconnect, first position and a connect, second position, wherein, if said racking assembly carriage is not in an identified set position, said racking assembly carriage is in transition, said manual racking assembly is structured to move said racking assembly carriage between said racking assembly carriage set positions, said manual racking assembly including a rotating rod with a socket, said motor structured to move said racking assembly carriage between said racking assembly carriage set positions, said racking assembly position indicator including an indicator member body, said indicator member body structured to move with said racking assembly carriage, said circuit breaker assembly including a separable contact assembly, said separable contact assembly including a number of fixed contacts and a number of movable contacts, the movable contacts movable between a first configuration, wherein the movable contacts are spaced from, and are not in electrical communication with, the fixed contacts, and, a second configuration, wherein the movable contacts are coupled to, and are in electrical communication with, the fixed contacts, said circuit breaker assembly further including an operating mechanism contact position indicator member and a manually actuatable trip assembly member, said circuit breaker assembly disposed on said racking assembly carriage, said interlock system comprising:

• a movable access door structured to move between an open, first position wherein said access door does not block access to said manual racking assembly socket, and, a closed, second position wherein said access door blocks access to said manual racking assembly socket;
• and
• an interlock assembly structured to allow manual use of said racking assembly when said access door is in said first position, to allow use of said motor when said access door is in said second position, and to maintain said movable contacts in said first configuration when said racking assembly carriage is in transition.
