Abstract:
1. A method of loading an electrical device into a drawout substructure, the method comprising: shifting a telescoping rail unit mounted to one of first and second opposing side walls of the drawout substructure from a stowed configuration, wherein the telescoping rail unit is positioned within the drawout substructure, to a deployed configuration wherein the telescoping rail unit extends out from the drawout substructure, the telescoping rail unit including at least a carrier rail and a loading rail; supporting the electrical device upon at least one of the carrier rail and the loading rail; shifting the electrical device upon the at least one of the carrier rail and the loading rail into the drawout substructure to engage an electrical contact; and shifting the electrical device from the one of the carrier rail and the loading rail to a electrical device rest mounted to the one of the first and second opposing side walls of the drawout substructure, the electrical device rest being vertically offset from the telescoping rail unit.
