Functions
Closing
When a closing pulse is received, the closing device (1) moves the fork (2), which closes the
moving contact (3) and applies the contact pressure to the main contacts (3 & 9). The pusher (4),
pushed by the moving contact (3), actuates the auxiliary contacts (5). The closing force is
absorbed by the shock absorber (6).
Holding
Once the main contact is closed, the contact pressure is maintained by the closing device (1),
either with a reduced holding current (E type) or with a permanent magnet (M type).
Opening
The circuit-breaker opens either through an over-current release or through an appropriate
opening order:
•
An over-current that exceeds the maximum current setting value, causes the direct release
rod (7) to move up, which lifts (8) the fork (2), thus releasing the moving contact (3).
•
Opening the breaker on remote order cuts off the holding current of the closing device
(E type) or applies a reverse current pulse (M type), which causes the fork (2) to retract.
The pusher (4) then opens the moving contact (3) and actuates the auxiliary contacts (5).
The arc generated between the main contacts (3 & 9) moves upwards between the horns (11)
into the arc chute (10) and is split by the baffles (12). The ionized gases are mostly neutralised
between the de-ionizing plates (13).
