Abstract
An arc quenching device creates a fault on a bus. A lockout mechanism of a circuit breaker feeding the bus is responsively actuated. Actuating the lockout mechanism may include releasing a spring-loaded mechanism mounted on a cassette that holds the circuit breaker to cause the mechanism to engage a lockout member of the circuit breaker.
