Abstract
An arc resistant switch gear comprises a switchgear enclosure including a circuit breaker a high voltage door and enclosure door latch and sealing mechanisms. These mechanisms are configured to provide a combination of latching and sealing functionality to seal and latch the switchgear enclosure with the high voltage door via a door latching and sealing system in combination with a latch part and a door frame. To remove the circuit breaker out of the switchgear enclosure a door sealing slider which is in the switchgear enclosure must be removed.
