CIRCUIT  BREAKER  OPERATION 

Normal-Normal  circuit  breaker  operation  is  con­

trolled  by  cubicle  mounted  controls  or  other  control 
devices. 

The  closing  springs  of  stored  energy  operated 

breakers  will  charge  as  soon 

as 

the  breaker  control  is

Opening Breaker - Stored  energy  operated  breakers 

can 

be  tripped  manually  by  depressing  the  trip  rod  (15) 

Figure  2),  or  electrically  by  energizing  the  trip  circuit. 

·10-

This  rotates  the  latch  that  allows  the  closing  linkage  to 

collapse and reset. 

Closing Breaker -When the springs of a stored energy 

operated  breaker  are 

fully 

charged,  it  can  be  closed  by 

pulling  the  manual  close 

pull 

rod  (21,  Figure  7),  or 

elec­

trically  by  energizing 

the .. closing  circuit.  This  rotates 

the 

latch that allows the springs 

to 

close the breaker.
