Typical Control Circuit
Operation of Switch
-
The switch closes if the closing springs have been charged electrically or manually.
-
The closing circuit has continuity when the closing springs are charged, the switch is open and no continuous trip signal is applied. Applying a close signal energizes the close coil, Y2. It discharges the closing springs, closing the switch. When the switch closes. A5/a and A5/b change state.
-
A5/a closing allows continuity in the trip circuit. A5/b opens, opening the close circuit.
-
Applying a trip signal energizes the trip coil, Y1. It discharges the opening springs, opening the switch. When the switch opens, A5/a and A5b change state.
-
Spare A5/a and A5/b contacts indicate the breaker state. A5/a closes when the switch closes. A5/b closes when the switch opens.
