A switchgear interlock system includes a circuit breaker with clusters of connector fingers separated from each other by respective cluster shields. In a connected position, the connector fingers engage respective bus connectors of bus bars for electrical contact. When the circuit breaker is disconnected from the bus bars, independently movable shutters cover access to the bus connectors to prevent inadvertent contact with the bus connectors. Each shutter includes a pedestal with an attached movable mount and movable curtain. As the circuit breaker is moved into the connected position, the mount slides along the pedestal towards the bus connector causing the curtain to open and allow the connector fingers to engage the bus connectors. As the circuit breaker is being disconnected, a return spring causes the mount to slide along the pedestal away from the bus connectors causing the curtain to close and prevent access to the bus connectors. |
