How to safely open and close the circuit breaker?

At the moment of pulling and closing, the knife gap current breaks through the air and shoots a strong arc. If it is divided into three-level electric box and first-level pull and close, in theory, safe operation needs to pull the load from the third level first, then pull the second level, and finally pull the first level.
