located in the lower-rear portion of EO circuit breakers,
and controls the electrical closing functions of the
breaker. The “anti-pump” feature of the SSCD
prevents a second electrical closing until the first
closing signal is released. For example, if the breaker
is closed electrically and the signal is maintained, the
SSCD will not permit the breaker to be closed
electrically again after a trip until the electrical close
signal is released.
Shunt Trip - The shunt trip is standard on EO breakers
and optional on MO breakers. When energized, it
releases the stored energy of the opening springs
causing the circuit breaker to open.
Closing Spring Charging Motor - When the motor
disconnect switch is ON, the charging motor is
energized automatically by internal limit switches to
charge the closing springs electrically.
Closing Spring Check Switch (CSCS) - The CSCS
automatically disconnects the power to the charging
motor when the closing springs are fully charged.
Integral Auxiliary Switch - The integral circuit breaker
mounted auxiliary switch is standard on EO breakers
and MO breakers with shunt trip, and optional on MO
breakers without shunt trip. The standard configuration
contains the four "a" and four "b" contacts (with three
“a” and two “b” contacts available for customer use via
the secondary disconnects). The switch is
mechanically interconnected with the circuit breaker
mechanism such that, with the circuit breaker closed,
the “a" contacts are closed and the "b" contacts are
open. With the circuit breaker open, the "a" and "b"
contacts reverse positions. This switch is located in the
lower left portion of the circuit breaker.
Optionally, EO breakers and MO breakers with shunt
trip can be fitted with a 16-pole switch, which offers an
additional four each “a” and “b” contacts for customer
use.
Undervoltage Trip Device (Optional) - The electrically
reset undervoltage trip device (UVD) is a single-phase
device which automatically trips the circuit breaker
when the line voltage decreases to 30 to 60 percent of
the rated voltage. This device is presently only
available for instantaneous trip operation. The
undervoltage trip device is an integral unit which may
be added to the circuit breaker either at the factory or in
the field.
When the breaker is tripped by the UVD, the Automatic
Trip Indicator will extend through the front plate of the
breaker escutcheon. The indicator cannot be reset
until the UVD is electrically reset by the control power.
See Figure 3 for electrical characteristics of the UVD.
