Construction

Operating Mechanism is of stored energy type, which operates using pre-charged springs. The springs are charged manually with the help of charging handle or with the help of 62 charging motor, if provided. The same operating mechanism is used for the entire range. Mechanism has been developed using less number of parts resulting in more reliability, longer mechanical life and requiring very less maintenance. Contact Mechanism Conductor Unit is of modular design. Each pole consists of Main and Arcing contacts which are housed in the moulded housing The contacts are made from sintered silver alloy for reliability, longer life and anti-weld properties. The construction of the contact is such that arcing contact closes before and opens later than the main contact, this substantially reduces erosion of main contact under normal and short circuit conditions. The current transformer is placed inside the pole unit around the lower terminal. Arc Chutes are provided for quenching the arc. Arc chute comprises of grid plates mounted in parallel in the insulated housing. The arc is divided between these grid plates which helps in its fast quenching. The arc is thus confined, divided and extinguished in the arc chute. The excellent insulation between the conducting parts and better energy dissipation after short circuit makes it possible to make the load and line connections on either side. The Tripping Mechanism comprises of magnet holder trigger which is linked to the trip bar unit. The electronic circuit gives a signal to this unit in case of over current fault and this unit mechanically trips the Circuit Breaker. In Over Current Protection the sensing of the current is through the current transformers fitted on the main terminals. In case of any fault the secondary output of the CT increases. This secondary output of CT goes to the micro controller based electronic circuit. The micro controller is programmed to give a signal as per inverse time characteristics. The signal in the form of DC supply is given to magnet holder trigger which trips the ACB. The required tripping time and tripping current can be set with the help of the switches provided on the front panel of the electronic release.

Undervoltage release:
This release trips the ACB in case the voltage drops below the required level. It is necessary to energise the under voltage release coil before attempting to close the circuit breaker as in de- energized condition, it mechanically locks the breaker and the same can not be closed. These coils are available in 24V DC, 110V AC/DC, 220V AC/ DC & 415V AC. For energizing this coil minimum 85% of the rated voltage is required and if the voltage drops below 50% of the rated voltage it automatically trips the ACB. Inrush power of this coil is 200VA and the continuous power is 5VA only.
