What is the function of door interlock and defeat interlock in an Air Circuit Breaker for an electrical control panel?

The door interlock prevents the switchboard door from being opened unless the breaker body is in the ISOLATED position. Only when the draw-out handle is removed from the ACB when the ACB is in the ISOLATED position, is the door interlock released and the switchboard door allowed to open. When inserting the ACB back into the carriage, the switchboard door must be closed once the breaker is in the ISOLATED position. When the door interlock is supplied a special draw-out handle is also supplied.
