Structural principle

Main structure
The circuit breaker adopts integrated and modular design, and the overall structure is simple and reasonable. It adopts upper and lower settings, with the arc extinguishing chamber part above and the interlocking and operating mechanism part below. Special spring operating mechanism is used, without adjustment, and the action is stable and reliable. The vacuum arc extinguishing chamber of the three-phase conductive circuit of the circuit breaker is arranged in the closed solid sealing pole column, which not only improves the insulation performance of the phases, but also protects each phase circuit from the influence of the external bad environment, prevents dust and foreign matters from entering the conductive circuit, and reduces the overall size of the circuit breaker. 2-2 Operating mechanism The operating mechanism of the circuit breaker is a spring energy storage mechanism. There are closing unit, opening unit composed of one or several coils, auxiliary switch, indicating device and other components in the mechanism box; the front is provided with closing and opening button, manual energy storage operation hole, spring energy storage status indicator board and closing and opening indicator board.(Fig.1, 2)

Energy storage
The energy required for closing the circuit breaker is provided by the closing spring. Energy storage can be done either by motor or by hand with energy storage handle. Energy storage operation: it is carried out by the energy storage motor 7 fixed on the frame or by inserting the energy storage handle into the manual energy storage shaft 8 and shaking it clockwise. The gear system is driven by motor output shaft 9 for electric energy storage, and the gear system is driven by manual energy storage shaft 8 for manual energy storage. When the small gear rotates, it drives the big gear to move together, thus pulling the energy storage spring to store energy. When the energy storage position is reached, the energy storage holding block is supported by the energy storage holding block to separate the clutch and maintain the energy storage position. The energy storage indicator board shows the tension state of the tension spring, and the energy storage is completed. The micro switch cuts off the power supply of the energy storage motor, and the circuit breaker is in the closing ready state.

Closing
During the closing process, whether manually pressing the “closing” button or remote operation to make the closing coil 12 act, the energy storage holding device can be turned away from the energy storage holding block. Under the action of the closing spring force, the cam drives the cam to rotate, and the cam drives the connecting rod mechanism to drive the insulating rod 23 and the moving contact of the arc extinguishing chamber to close. After the closing action is completed, the opening holding switch and theopening half shaft are kept in the buckle state. At the same time, the energy storage indicator board and auxiliary switch are reset, and the motor power supply circuit is connected. If the external power supply is also connected, it will enter the energy storage state again, and the connecting rod will pull the on / off indicator to indicate the position of “┃”, at the same time, pull the counter to realize counting, and drive the connecting rod to pull the spindle to drive the auxiliary switch to switch. Note: when the circuit breaker is in the closing state or the closing locking device is selected but the external power supply is not connected, the circuit breaker is in the process of pushing, or the operating handle of the pushing mechanism is not pulled out, the closing operation cannot be performed.

Opening
It can not only press the “opening” button, but also connect the external power supply to make the opening coil or over-current coil act, so that the opening holding switch and the opening half axis are unlocked to realize the opening operation. The energy stored by the contact spring and the opening spring 25 separates the dynamic and static contacts of the arc extinguishing chamber 21. In the later stage of the opening process, the hydraulic buffer absorbs the residual energy and limits the opening position. Pull the “O” connecting rod to switch off the switch.

Anti misoperation interlock
The circuit breaker can provide perfect anti misoperation function

1.  After the closing operation of the circuit breaker is completed, the closing interlocking board 18 rotates against the closing board 13, and it cannot be closed again when the circuit breaker is not opened.
2.  After closing the circuit breaker, if the closing electric signal is not removed in time, the internal anti tripping controller of the circuit breaker will cut off the closing circuit to prevent multiple reclosing.
3.  When the handcart type circuit breaker fails to reach the test position or working position, the handcart interlocking board 19 shall buckle the closing board and cut off the closing circuit to prevent the circuit breaker from entering the load area in the closing state.
4.  After the handcart type circuit breaker is closed in the working position or test position, the trolley will not be able to move if the roller presses the pushing mechanism, so as to prevent pulling out or pushing the load area in the closing state.
5.  If electrical closing locking is selected, manual closing operation is prevented when the secondary control power supply is not connected.

Propulsion mechanism

Close the valve of the interlocking piece 2 of the pushing mechanism, operate the left and right handles 1 to position B, and push the circuit breaker handcart into the switch cabinet along the guide rail until the pins 5 on both sides correspond to the positioning holes of the switch cabinet. Release the left and right handles to fix the circuit breaker handcart in the switch cabinet. Operate the grounding interlock handle 4 to position a to make it in the insertion position. (if the propulsion mechanism is not equipped with grounding interlock, this step can be skipped).

Pushed in or pulled out of handcart
Put the circuit breaker in the opening state (manual or electric), open the valve of the interlocking piece 2, and insert the operating handle to make the circuit breaker advance and exit in the cabinet. When the circuit breaker enters the working position or retreats to the test position, the “click” sound of clutch slipping can be heard, and the handcart does not move. At this time, the shaking of the operating handle should be stopped. The advancement and withdrawal of the circuit breaker handcart in the cabinet shall be flexible without obvious jamming. (Note: when the circuit breaker touches the valve mechanism of the cabinet and is almost in place, the propulsion force should be significantly increased, which is normal).

Closing operation

1.  Push the handcart into the switch cabinet and operate the left and right handles to position A.
2.  Open the earthing switch and operate the earthing interlock handle to the position A.
3.  Press the interlocking piece and turn the main operating shaft clockwise with the handle to push the circuit breaker to the working position in the cabinet.
4. Close the interlocking piece, close the circuit breaker and operate.

Emergency opening
When the switch cabinet is in an emergency, the emergency opening handle 3 rotates counterclockwise to open the circuit breaker.
