Abstract
An operating mechanism for an enclosed circuit breaker is disclosed and comprises: a frame mounted within an enclosure; a linearly reciprocal handle slidably mounted to the frame for operating a circuit breaker within the enclosure and extending through an aperture in a door of the enclosure; and a latch pivotally mounted to the frame and cooperating with the handle and a catch on the door to perform interlocking functions whereby the door cannot be opened unless the handle is in an 'off' position and whereby the handle cannot be moved to an 'on' position unless the door is closed. A defeater is provided for manually pivoting the latch to defeat its interlocking functions.
