Therefore, the operating mechanism may under no circumstances be operated with the spring charged without being connected to and adjusted with the appertaining circuit~ breaker. The operating mechanism consists in principle of a attery of springs, which are charged by a motor with a gear, and an operating mechanism for releasing the closing and opening operations. The battery of springs are charged automatically after each closing operation. The various parts of the operating mechanism are housed in a cubicle which also contains the operating panel with operating equipment. The cubicle is designed so that the roof can be removed and the doors, which only weigh 3.7 kg each, can be easily lifted off in the open position so as to facilitate work involved in making connections and overhauling. The main components in an operating mechanism type BLG 302 are shown in Fig. AA.

A-cam disc CA+6 and a spring bridge CA-22 with springs CA-24 are connected by. an endless chain CA-9. The chain, which is placed in two loops and over a motor driven sprocket CA~7, functions as a transmission element when the springs CA~24 are charged, and drives the cam disc CA-6 round during a closing operation. The cam disc during its rotation actu= ates a link CA-4 which converts the rotary movement to a linear movement of the operating rod CA~2+ Closing coil | Operating rod Main closing latch Operating link Sprocket Cam disc Sprocket (driving) Dashpot Endless chain Guide link Sprocket (deflector wheel) Chain Guide bar Deflector wheel Opening coil Main opening latch Stop roll Gear bor Drive motor Limit switch Catch Spring bridge Guide roll Closing spring Sprocket Pietlector wheel) Buffer for chain CA-12 Figure CA Operating mechanism for closed circuit-breaker with closing springs uncharged Charging of closing springs ‘The circuit breaker has been closed. ‘The limit switches CA-20 close the motor circuit. ‘The motor CA-19 starts and drives the sprocket CA-7 via the gear box CA-18 in the direction indicated by the arrow. The sprocket CA-5 with cam disc CA-6 is locked against the closing catch CA-3. The endless chain CA~9 is thereby anchored to this wheel. As soon as the sprocket CA-7 rotates in the direction indicated, the chain in the portion B will move upwards, and in the portion C downwards, while the portions A and D will not move.$409 2883 rev 1 Page 6 LKK 76-09-06 Normal position The sprocket CA-25 with appertain ring bridge 1 be lifted upwards he same time as the sprocxet noves downwards the same distance as the chain is f The spring bridge will therefore be lifted upwards and the closing springs CA-24 will be charged. Tne charging chain GA-12 which runs over the deflector wheel CA-14 is fixed at one end to the shaft on the sprocket CA-11 and at the other end to the spring bridge CA-22. Its purpose is, amongst others, to keep the endless chain CA-9 stretched. The springs have been charged. The limit switch CB-20 has been actuated by the spring bridge CB-22 and the motor (3-19 fas stopped. The gear box CB-18 is locked against reverse rotation by the catch CB-21 and thus prevents the spring bridge from returning to the starting position. The sprocket B-11 has moved downwards to the same extent as the spring bridge has moved upwards. Thereby its shaft has moved from the upper end of the groove in the guide link CB-10 to the lower end and has pulled the guide link a further distance so that the piston in the dashpot C3-8 has reached its upper position.

Tae large sprocket CD-5 with the cam disc CD-6 which has been locked as shown in the preceding figures CA-CC, have here been freed by the auxiliary closing catch OD-29 having been freed from its clip by the closing coil OD-1 causing the main closing catch CD-3 to be freed. The sprocket CD-5 is driven by the pull in the chain on the section A in the direction of the arrow. The cam disc then actuates the link CD-4 which is pressed over to the left and locked by the opening catch. The figures drawn with con- tinuous lines show the position when the cam disc has just left the roller CD-17. In‘this position the shaft of the sprocket CD-11 has passed the free stretch in the groove on the guide link CD-10. The speed of the movement is then reduced by the dashpot CD-8 and final position shown on Figure CA is attained with decreasing speed.

The crank is then placed on the shaft CE-3 of the gearbox CA-18 and is rotated clockwise. ‘hen the spring bridge CA-22 has been pulled to the vicinity of the position for charged springs, the mechanical interlocking arm CG-11 is displaced. When the spring bridge has been pulled fully against the stop screws CG-1 the friction clutch GE-2 in the gearbox slips for further rotation with the hand crank. The gearbox is provided with a catch CB-7 which prevents the gearwheel CE-5 and the crank from rotating counter clockwise. The charging operation with the crank can thus be stopped temporarily at any time during the charging operation. r 1 Figure CE Gearbox with arrangement for manual changin Hand crank Priction clutch (Fig. DD) Shaft Gearwheol Gearwheel and catch Pushbutton for opening the catch CE-7 Catch for counter clockwise rotation of CE-5 Compression spring Operating motor ‘The crank should be stored in a holder inside the door on the same side as the gearbox (Fig. GA-1).5409 2683 rev 1 Manual discharging operation of closing springs If it is necessary to discharge the closing springs without operating the circuit-breaker, or if the spring bridge is to ve placed in the lockable position acconiing to Figure CI, the supply voltage to the motor should first be interrupted by the motor starter and thereafter the hand crank should be inserted in the hand operating position as described above under "Manual charging operation of closing springs". ‘The crank should be turned clockwise so far that the catch CE-7 is released. The crank should be retained in this position, The button Cz-6 can then be easily pushed in. This frees the catch CE-7 from its grip in the gearvheel. CE-5. Then the crank can be released counter clockwise under pressure while keeping the button CI-6 depressed so that the battery of springs can be discharged entirely, or until the spring bridge has come to such a position that it ean be locked with the lock bolts CI-3. Note: Keep the pushbutton CE-6 pressed the whole time until the spring bridge has reached its lower position even if for some reason the clip on the crank should loose its grip during a discharging operation. On the other hand, the discharging operation can be interrupted in any position if the pushbutton CE-6 is released before the crank is unloaded. If the spring bridge has been placed in a lockable position when the closing springs were fully charged, without these at first having been in uncharged position, the limit switch DB-1 can be lying in such a position, that the motor will not start, when pushbutton DA-6 is operated. The limit switch is placed in correct position by pulling the rod DB-7. A complete discharging of the closing springs will give the same result. ¥anual closing impulse When the circuit-breaker is in the open position and the closing springs aro completely charged, the auxiliary contact and the limit switch in the closing circuit are closed. See Figure DBA. Before giving the impulse, set the control switch DA-10 to "LOCAL" position. Manual closing impulse can only be given electrically by pressing the "ON" pushbutton DA-4 on the control panel, whereby the closing coil CP-15 is energized and frees the closing catch, if the closing springs are completly charged. If, after an overhaul or for some other reason, it is absolutely necessary to give a mechanical manual closing impulse, this can be carried out, if the closing springs are completely charged by pushing in the armature on the closing solenoid CD-1.5409 2883 rev 1 Page 11 LEK 76-09-06 Note that only a very short impulse (e.g. a light tap on the armature) may be made, as otherwise the blocking cateh CK-7, after a complete revolution of the cam disc CK-9, will bypass the roller CK-6 and lie against the interlocking arm CF-11. (If this occurs, proceed as described under the heading "Cancelling of interlocking" in order to reset the mechanism to the normal position. Mechanical manual closing impulse may only be given by a person, who is very familiar with the operation of the mechanism and the cirouit-treaker and who knows that the Subsequent closing operation can be carried out without any detrimental consequences in spite of the electrical inter locking and blocking circuits being thereby set out of function. ‘The manual closing impulse may under no circumstances be Given to the mechanism with charged closing springs, if the Mechanism is not connected to the circuit-breaker and all adjustments have been made, nor if the mechanism is provided with an interlocking lock of Castell or Kirk type if these locks are in the interlocked position. Manual opening impulse When the circuit-breaker is in the closed position, the auxiliary contact in the opening circuit is closed. Before giving the impulse, set the operating switch DA-10 to the "LOCAL" position. Manual opening impulse can be given either electrically or mechanically. Electrical opening impulse can be given by pressing the "OFF" pushbutton DA-5 on the operating panel, whereby the opening coil receives an impulse and frees the opening catch. Mechanical opening impulse can be given by pressing the push- Yutton “OFF” on one side of the cubicle. Thereby the opening catch is actuated directly via a link to the tripping arm. Mechanical interlocking against unintentional closing operation If the cirouit-breaker is already in the closed position, or if the closing springs are discharged or not completely charged, a closing operation must not te carried out. In order to prevent such a closing operation, which may occur, for example, through the closing catch being opened manually or if any mechanical fault on the catch has occurred, there is an interlock in the device consisting of two arms, CF-11 and CG-11, where 9F-11 (the inner arm) prevents the rotation of the cam disc if the circuit-breaker is already in the closed position and CG-11 (the outer arm) prevents the cam disc from rotating in the same manner if the springs are not completely charged. If the operating device is in the closed position and the inter~ locking arm CF-11 is put out of operation (see the text to figure CJ) no form of closing impulse may be given. The consequences of such an impulse would be an unloaded closing operation or a so~ called blind stroke, which could result in breakage of the closing catch.
