Abstract
A removable access opening cover is magnetically held in place over an access opening in magnetically permeable cell doors of a switchgear assembly by magnetic strips secured to flanges extending along edges of the cover. A window in the cover allows observation of the interior of an unoccupied cell or monitoring of indicators on the front panel of electrical apparatus such as a circuit breaker mounted in the cell. The cover can be stowed by magnetically attaching it to a magnetically permeable surface such as the metal side wall of the switchgear cabinet.
