| Types SDV-R and SDV-R-AR distribution circuit breakers
Manual operation
Electrically operated vacuum circuit breakers
can be operated manually if the control
supply should fail.
Manually charging the circuit breaker
closing spring
Refer to Figure 15: Use of manual spring-
charging crank on page 28. Insert the hand
crank (90.0) with the over running coupling
pushed forward (50.6) through the opening
(50.1) onto hand crank coupling (51.0) and
turn it clockwise until the closing-spring
indicator (54.0) shows CHARGED. The hand
crank is coupled with the charging mecha-
nism via an over-running coupling; thus, the
operating personnel is not exposed to any
risk should the control supply be restored
during manual charging.
Manual closing of the circuit breaker
Refer to Figure 17: Stored-energy operating
mechanism shown in OPEN position on
page 30. Press the close button (52.0). The
CLOSE/OPEN indicator (55.0) will then
display CLOSED and the closing spring
condition indicator (54.0) will now read
DISCHARGED.
Manual opening of the circuit breaker
Refer to Figure 17: Stored-energy operating
mechanism shown in OPEN position on
page 30. The opening spring (21.0) is
charged during closing. To open the circuit
breaker, press the open pushbutton (53.0)
and OPEN will be displayed by indicator
(55.0).
The schematic shown in Figure 18: Typical
elementary diagram on page 32 is intended
to aid in understanding the mechanism
operation discussed in this instruction
manual. Refer to the schematic diagram
furnished with your circuit breaker for
specific information.
Close coil (52SRC)
The close coil (3AY1510) is a standard
component of the circuit breaker that is
used to unlatch the stored energy of the
closing spring and thus close the circuit
breaker electrically. It is available for either
ac or dc operation. After completion of a
closing operation, the close coil is
de-energized internally. If operated with ac
voltage, a rectifier is installed in the circuit
breaker
Trip coil (52T)
The trip coil (3AY1510) is a standard
component of the circuit breaker. The
electrically supplied tripping signal is passed
onto the trip-latching mechanism by means
of a direct-action solenoid armature and the
circuit breaker is thus opened. It is available
for either ac or dc operation. After
completion of an opening operation, the
trip coil is de-energized internally. If
operated with ac voltage, a rectifier is
installed in the circuit breaker
