General information
This information leaflet provides detailed installation instructions for
installing and interconnecting one drawout Type NF frame breaker
to another type of low voltage circuit breaker (LVCB) in any position
(see A, B, C in Table 1) for a Type 32 interlock configuration as
shown in Figure 1. When purchasing kits for a Type 32 interlock
configuration setup, additional interlock kits (the types of interlock
kits and the other breakers on which they can be installed that are
compatible with this kit are listed in Table 2) are required for the
other two breakers as well as the interconnecting cable kits (three
are required).
For Type 32 interlock configurations, the mechanical interlock holds
one of the breakers tripped or open (prevents closure) when the
other two are closed. A lever assembly is mounted on each breaker
and interfaces with the poles haft and trip bar. The lever assemblies
are interconnected with cables provided in interconnecting cable
kits (listed in Table 3) that are compatible with this interlock kit. The
cable kits, purchased separately, each contain two cables and can be
used for any orientation of the breakers according to the installation
recommendations in Step 5.
Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 for identification of interlock kit and
interconnecting cable kit contents, respectively.

Step 7
This step describes how to attach the driven (long rod) end of a
cable attached to an interlock assembly on another breaker to the
cable bracket and interlock assembly on this Type NF frame breaker.
Refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 for cable routing and correct swivel
fittings to which the cables are connected.
The driven (long rod) end of the cable is attached to the
corresponding push or pull swivel fitting on the driven lever on this
cable interlock assembly similarly to Step 6 except the driven end
does not utilize a compression spring between the swivel and nut.
For the push cable, remove and discard the 22,2 mm (0,875 inch)
cable tube spacer (M) on the rod end of the cable assembly (K) and
replace it with the 30,5 mm (1,2 inch) cable tube spacer (J). For the

Step 8
This step describes how to adjust the cables to ensure proper
functionality of the cable interlock setup. Cable adjustments are
made with the large bulkhead nuts ONLY and with all breakers
OPEN. Nuts on the rod ends should not be moved.
Begin by adjusting or verifying that the threaded section of all
bulkhead fittings are approximately centered on the cable mounting
brackets, allowing for room to adjust in either direction. Hand tighten
the nuts at this time.
Perform initial adjustments on the driven (long rod) end of cable
until the gaps identified in Figure 12 through Figure 15 are as
specified. Figure 12 through Figure 15 show the position of the
interlock assembly driven “And” lever based on the state of the
interconnected breakers.

If there is too much clearance, adjust both bulkhead nuts to retract
the cable housing (move threaded portion down).
If there is no clearance, advance the cable housing in the same
manner (move threaded portion up).
If additional adjustment length is needed, the bulkhead nuts on
the other (drive) end of cable can be used.
When the proper clearance is attained on the driven end, torque
both cable bulkhead nuts to 11–13 N·m (100–120 in-lb) without
moving the bulkhead fittings.
After the driven end has been adjusted and the bulkhead nuts have
been tightened, perform adjustments on the drive (short rod) end
of the cable. Adjust the bulkhead nuts up (move threaded portion
down) such that the gap between the drive lever and the interlock
assembly base shown on Figure 10 is less than 8 mm.
When the gap is less than 8 mm, torque the cable bulkhead nuts on
both ends to 11–13 N·m (100–120 in-lb).
