Close coil (52SRC)
unlatches the closing
spring and the circuit
breaker closes.
Motor cutoff
switches LS21, LS22
and LS3 are closed
because the closing
spring is discharged.
Before the spring-
charge motor has
recharged the
closing spring and
opened LS3, anti-
pump relay (52Y)
picks up and seals in.
The anti-pump relay
(52Y) opens two
contacts in series
with the close coil
(52SRC).
The close coil
(52SRC) is now
blocked and cannot
be activated until
springs are fully-
charged and close
command is
removed.
Rapid auto-reclosing. The closing spring is automatically recharged as described above.
Therefore, when the circuit breaker is closed both of its springs are charged. The closing spring
charges the opening spring during closing. As a result, the circuit breaker is capable of an
O-0.3s-CO-3 min-CO operating cycle. The dashed line shows the operating sequence initiated by
the closing command.
Closing
Tripping
Anti-pumping feature (52Y) assures a continuously applied closing command does not
cause the circuit breaker to reclose automatically after it has tripped out on a fault.
Trip
command.
Trip coil (52T) can
only be activated
when in series
connected 52a
contact is closed.
Undervoltage device (27) is
activated by opening a NC
contact in series with 27 or by
loss or reduction of tripping
voltage.

Undervoltage device (27) is activated
by closing NO contact, shorting the
27 coil. The NO contact is only
effective with the circuit breaker
closed. Resistor required.
