Operating Performance of Circuit Breakers

Structure Overview

○ Drawer type circuit breaker

Drawer-type circuit breaker from the circuit breaker body and drawer seat composition. Drawer seat on both sides of the rails, rails on the activities of the guide plate, the circuit breaker body frame on the left and right guide plate. Drawer-type circuit breaker through the circuit breaker body on the bus into the drawer seat bridge contacts to connect the main circuit. Shake the handle of the lower beam of the drawer holder to realize the three working positions of the drawer circuit breaker (there is a position indication beside the swing handle), and there are three position locks to more reliably determine the position and prevent the body from slipping.

"Connection" position: the main circuit and the secondary circuit are connected.

"Test" position: The main circuit is disconnected and separated by an insulating barrier. Only the secondary circuit is switched on, and the necessary operation test can be performed.

"Separation" position: the main circuit and the secondary circuit all disconnected. In the "separation" position To remove the circuit breaker body, you must remove the swing out of the handle.

Drawer type circuit-breakers have mechanical interlocks that allow the circuit-breaker to be closed only in the connected position or in the test position. In the middle of the connection and test can not be closed.

○ Interlocking mechanism

The interlocking mechanism is installed on the right side plate of the circuit breaker, and the cable tie is interlocked (Figure 8). The circuit breaker is interlocked with the interlocking circuit breaker (Figure 9). When one of the circuit breakers is in the closing state, The other can not be closed, interlocking institutions installed by the user.
