During charging, the spring stores potential energy, which it releases rapidly during discharging. This stored mechanical energy allows consistent operations without relying on an external power source. When the motor rotates, it provides potential energy to store in the spring.
When the circuit breaker needs to be opened or closed, the mechanical energy stored in charged springs is released using a release mechanism. Spring charging is essential since it can either open or close the circuit by moving the contacts apart.
Part of this energy charges the tripping spring. During the closing operation, the tripping spring deforms and stores energy. That means the tripping (opening) spring becomes charged during the discharging of the closing spring. This prepares the circuit breaker for the opening operation immediately after it has been closed.
When the springs are gets charged, they store potential energy, which may then be released to successfully operate the breaking mechanism. Proper charging of these springs is essential for ensuring that the circuit breaker can cycle between open & closed states in accordance with operational demands (or) protective measures.
The document describes a spring-operated mechanism called BLG for high voltage circuit breakers. Key features of BLG include increased operational endurance of 10,000 operations or 30 years of service
