RAL7032 shall be applied with powder coating system.

4.3 INTERLOCKS
Interlocking Conditions
 It will not be possible to rack out withdrawable part from Service to Test position when the
switching device is switched ON. Similarly, it will not be possible to rack in withdrawable part
from Test to Service position, if the switching device is switched ON.
14
  Any attempt to rack out withdrawable part from Service to Test position will not result in
switching off the circuit Breaker instead the Service position will be locked till switching device is
‘ON’.
 CB Operation cannot be performed during rack in or rack out operation.
 It will not be possible to rack in or rack out withdrawable truck when the front high voltage door
is open. Also it is not possible to open the HT door when the VCB is in service condition or is in
operation (rack in and rack out)
 It will not be possible to rack in withdrawable truck from test to service position when the low
voltage control plug is not in position and locked on the truck itself.
 It will not be possible to close the door if the low voltage control plug is not engaged.
 Automatic metallic safety shutters to be provided covering the opening for bus bar and cable
chambers. The movement of these shutters is interlocked mechanically with the movement of the
truck so that these will open only when the movement of the truck is from test to service and will
close the respective opening when the movement of the truck is from service to test position.
Individual automatic safety shutters should be provided for cable and bus bar openings and also
have facility for padlocking. Suitable danger name plates to be provided on these safety shutters.
