1)  Installing the Remote Racking Device for 

Circuit Breaker Racking Out

Note: 

The remote racking device drive socket 

is installed through the compartment 

door racking shaft access cover.

Before installing the remote racking device, 

ensure the circuit breaker contacts are in the 

open (tripped) position.  This should be done 

by remotely sending a trip signal to the circuit 

breaker.  The manual trip function on the 

circuit breaker and/or switchgear door should 

only be used if the remote electrical signal 

cannot be used.

CAUTION

1.  Ensure the switchgear compartment is 

deenergized.

2.  Ensure the remote racking device 

support lock pin 

(Figure 10, b)

 and the 

support hanger 

(Figure 9, d)

 are installed 

on the compartment door.  See  

Ch 4 Installation, D. Preparation,  

1) Support Lock Pin, Support Hanger, and 

Installation Template

.

3.  Move the remote racking device to the 

location where the circuit breaker is to 

be racked out of a compartment.

4.  On the compartment door, rotate the 

teardrop shaped racking shaft access 

cover clockwise to access the opening 

(Figure 5, c)

.

5.  To prepare the remote racking device 

for operation, insert the plug from the 

motor control box into the remote 

racking device twist lock receptacle 

(Figure 7)

.  Turn the plug 1/₄ turn 

clockwise to lock in the plug in the 

receptacle.

6.  Unlatch the racking device spring lock 

pin 

(Figure 8)

.

7.  Grasp the remote racking device by 

the top handle with the drive socket 

toward the circuit breaker 

(Figure 9)

.  

Insert the drive socket into the racking 

shaft access opening until it engages 

the circuit breaker racking shaft.  With 

the drive socket in place, position the 

racking device support latch  

(Figure 10, a)

 onto the support lock pin 

(Figure 10, b)

.

8.  Push down the top of the racking device 

support latch to close the latch  

(Figure 10, a)

.

9.  Turn the spring lock pin to the lock 

position to secure the remote racking 

device to the support lock pin  

(Figure 11, a)
