2.0 Description
The design of medium voltage metal clad switchgear and low voltage
switchgear commonly incorporates a manual method of operating the
circuit breakers while physically positioned in front of the circuit breaker
including: circuit breaker racking operation, push button operation, and
manual close/open operation.
The interaction with switchgear circuit breakers is most often
performed with the switchgear energized, due to typical operation
requirements. These tasks potentially expose the operator to severe
arc flash hazards. An electrical failure in the circuit breaker or
switchgear during the racking process can result in serious injury or
death of the operator.
The inoRAC is a device designed for the specific purpose of racking
medium voltage and low voltage switchgear circuit breakers while
allowing the operator to be at a safe distance from the energized
switchgear and circuit breaker. The inoRAC utilizes the latest
technology for position control and monitoring to protect the circuit
breaker and switchgear from damage during operations.

and install onto the boom assembly. See
next step.

12
9) Carefully insert the motor carriage into the motor carriage hanger
by making sure the (4) mounting pins are aligned with their
respective hanger blocks.
10) With the motor carriage inserted and align, push the motor
carriage downward to fully seat the mounting pins into the hanger
blocks.
11) Once the motor carriage is fully seated into the mounting
blocks, insert the two locking pins located on each side of the
assembly.
