3.3 Opening operation
A Spring operated mechanism
B Magnetic Actuator
To close the circuit breaker the “ CLOSE" control element is actuated either
electrically through the closing magnet or mechanically through push button
arrangement. This enables the, spring stored energy mechanism to release the
spring energy, through the linkage system, which rotate the common shaft. The
rotation of the common shaft moves the moving contact of all the poles upward
through the operating stud, closing the circuit breaker. This movement also exerts
the required contact pressure on the moving contact.
To close the circuit breaker the closing coil is energized. This moves the armature
upward, which in-turn rotates the common shaft through the linkage system. The
rotation of the common shaft moves the moving contacts of all the poles upward
through the operating stud, closing the circuit-breaker. This movement also exerts
the required contact pressure on the moving contact. Mechanical closing
operation cannot be performed on the Magnetic Actuator Drive.
To open the circuit breaker, the "OPEN" control element is actuated either
electrically through the opening magnet or mechanically through push button
arrangement. This enables the spring stored energy mechanism to release the
spring energy through the linkage system, which rotate the common shaft in
opposite direction. This rotation forces the moving contact of all the poles to move
downward, opening the circuit breaker.
In case of magnetic actuator the rotation of common shaft is effected through the
downward movement of armature by energizing the opening coil. This movement
forces the moving contact of all the poles to move downward, opening the circuit
breaker.
