to close the circuit breaker and when it needs to close rapidly. The two-step stored energy process is to charge the the breaker. It uses separate opening and because it permits the closing spring to be process. This allows for an open-close-open charged (or recharged) manually via a charging The motor can be operated remotely, allowing
You CAN'T close the breaker, even if it has sufficient stored energy for that purpose, if after closing there is insufficient stored energy remaining to OPEN the breaker. In other words the stored amount needs to be sufficient to close AND open.
The spring inside a large circuit breaker must allways be able to OPEN the breaker, even if someone has omitted to charge the spring. The mechanism is therefore designed in such a way that before the breaker can be closed, it is proved that the spring contains sufficient energy not only to close the breaker but also to subsequently open it.
The force is transmitted from the operating mechanism to the pole assemblies via operating levers. To close the breaker, the closing spring can be unlatched either mechanically by means of the local “ON” pushbutton or electrically by remote control. The closing spring charges the opening or contact pressure springs as the breaker closes.
To Zog's point, the Closing process charges a spring that has sufficient mechanical power to CLOSE the breaker fast enough and hard enough to avoid contact bounce, PLUS charge the spring that OPENS the breaker. The Opening spring needs less energy, but you do NOT need to re-charge the spring with the crank to be able to Open the breaker.
The close coil (CC) is energized if the 52/b contact, LS contact, LCS contact, and Y contact are all closed. The 52/b contact automatically opens when the breaker closes, cutting off power to the close coil. Figure 3 shows the typical trip control circuit of a circuit breaker.
Close the circuit breaker by sending a close (ON) command. When the circuit breaker is closed: o The contact position indicator (A) changes to I (ON). o The spring-charged indicator (B) …

The two-step stored energy mechanism is used when a lot of energy is required to close the circuit breaker and when it needs to close rapidly. The two-step stored energy process is to …
What is a Circuit Breaker? First mentioned by Thomas Edison in his 1879 patent application, the concept of the circuit breaker was later advanced when the Swiss company Brown, Boveri & Cie. patented the world''s first …
Stored-energy closing insures operator safety and greatly increases contact life. Regardless of the external power source, it provides faster, uniform closing every time even against full …
Do not close the circuit breaker again without first inspecting and, if necessary, repairing the downstream electrical equipment. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury, or equipment damage.
The first electrically operated breakers were closed by a solenoid close coil. The coil pulled a solenoid slug, which actuated the closing mechanism. Figures 2-1 and 2-2 show the first …
Stored energy circuit breakers rose to prominence in the 1950''s. Although some breakers used hydraulic accumulators to charge and store energy, the vast majority used enormous springs …
