Anti-pumping device is one which prevents the breaker from reclosing after an opening operation even though the
device initiating closing is maintained in the position of closing.
Anti-pumping is generally achieved by providing electrical interlocks which ensure that the persistent closing
command breaks the moment the breaker trips on fault or opens. The breaker can then be reclosed only after a fresh
command is given. This method of providing anti-pumping is known as electrical anti-pumping.
Following anti-pumping methods are used to ensure reliability of entire distribution system.

Mechanical anti pumping is achieved by providing linkage interlocks which ensure that anti-pumping lever does
not reset until the manual persistent closing command is relieved. Even in case of a fault, breaker trips but the
anti-pumping lever remains in the downward position until a persistent command is relieved. Hence the breaker
can be reclosed only after a fresh command is given.

To achieve this anti-pumping, there is a need for an auxiliary contactor or a relay which will get actuated by
the first closing command and will break the closing circuit and will prevent the breaker from closing after
the breaker has tripped on fault, this anti-pumping contactor or relay is reset only when the closing
command is removed, thus proving anti-pumping.

In OMEGA, closing release consists of an electronic circuit to ensure no watt loss, inspite of continuous
power supply, thus saving energy.
When a closing command is given, closing coil of the circuit breaker gets supply through an electronic circuit
which comprises of IC555 timer. The closing coil is energized and the breaker closes. The closing command
persists only for the 500ms time duration. In order to close the circuit breaker again, the closing coil circuit
will have to be reset only when the closing command is removed. This ensures that once the breaker has
closed and tripped on fault the breaker can close again only after the first closing command is removed and a
fresh closing command is given, thus providing anti-pumping.
