@meirs I reckon 'execução' refers to the overall design philosophy, as distinct from the 'montagem' which is cocerned with the specifics of how it is mounted (fixed/removable).

@mediamarix In comparison with EN - shouldn't it rather be "montagem" than "execução" (fixo)? I just wonder.

permanently mounted circuit breaker

You seem to be parsing the source text incorrectly. It's not "disjuntor de execução", but "disjuntor" ... "de execução totalmente fixo"

disjuntor de execução totalmente fixo
-->
permanently installed/mounted breaker

That refers back to "montagem desconectável (fixo sobre chassis com rodas). ", referring to a breaker which is mounted on a wheeled trolley (known as a 'truck') which allows the rapid exchange of a faulty breaker with a good one.

Source: personal on-hands experience (albeit 30+ years ago...).
