This electrically operated breaker utilizes a motor to auto
matically keep the closing springs in a charged state.
Whenever the control solenoid is energized, its operation
releases the closing springs, closing the breaker contacts.

Features and
Characteristics
�lectrical Ooerat1on
This electrically operated breaker closes whenever the
closing solenoid coil is energized. This causes an upward
movement of the solenoid armature which charges the
springs to a predetermined over-center point for closing.
(For typical electrical circuit see pg. 38.)
The i nitiation of the closing operation for both of the above types of breakers is by closing of a contact of a remote switch,
relay or a close button in the front escutcheon if the breaker is so equipped. The breakers control schemes have an anti
pump feature which allows only one closure of the breaker for a single operation of the closing contact no matter how long
the contact may be held closed . This prevents the repeated operations that would ensue if one of the automatic trip devices
was activated at the time of closing. A manual closing handle is provided for maintenance purposes. All electrically operated
breakers close within five cycles.
