5.2.1 ALTERNATE CONTROL CIRCUIT
Later production breakers use the electrical control
circuit shown in Fig. 9A for all control voltages except
250 volts D.C. which uses the circuit shown in Fig. 9.
This alternate control circuit eliminates the X-relay and
CC switch shown in Fig. 9.
The motor is energized through the 'G' cutoff switch
and the K-relay contact. The motor is deenergized when
the 'G' cutoff switch changes state which occurs when
the closing spring is fully charged.
With the closing spring propped fully-charged, the
breaker is ready for closing. This may
electrically by depressing the closing switch on the

Operation of the closing switch energizes the K-relay

removes the prop, releasing the closing springs to close
the breaker. The 'F' cutoff switch is only installed on
breakers using D.C. control voltage.
The anti-pump function is obtained through the nor­
mally closed K-relay contact in the motor circuit.

the motor from charging the closing spring. The closing
signal must be removed for approximately 1 .3 to 2. 0
seconds to allow the closing spring to charge.
