Solid state circuit breaker button interlocking system

An interlock system for a circuit breaker assembly, the circuit breaker assembly being structured to have a use current selectively passed therethrough and including a housing assembly, a separable contact assembly, a trip assembly, and an operating mechanism, the separable contact assembly including a number of sets of separable contacts that are movable between an open, first position, and a closed second position, the operating mechanism being structured to move the number of sets of separable contacts between the first and second positions, the operating mechanism including an elongated crossbar that is structured to move between a first position and a second position corresponding to the first and second positions of the number of sets of separable contacts, said interlock system comprising:

• a rotary solenoid;
• an actuator assembly including a first actuator, a second actuator, and a linkage assembly;
• said linkage assembly operatively coupled with said rotary solenoid, said first actuator, and said second actuator;
• and
• an interlock assembly structured to configure said rotary solenoid and at least one of the first actuator and the second actuator in a safe configuration.
