Notes:
1. Doors in figures 1-3 cannot be used when 0.5s arc duration is required.
2. When MPL breaker doors are supplied (Fig.3&4), all low voltage instrument compartment doors will be supplied with matching door handles.
3. When bolted breaker doors are supplied (Fig.1&2), all low voltage instrument compartment doors will be single handle style.
4. PT, CPT and CPT fuse auxiliary unit doors will utilize the same door securing method (bolted vs. MPL) as shown on the breaker doors.
5. When type 2C or 2BC is required, arc duration is limited to 10-cycles and all front doors
except low voltage/instrument compartment must be bolted type.
