When the closing spring has been fully
charged, the crank actuates the linkage
(55.1) via control lever (55.2) for the
closing-spring CHARGED indicator (55.0),
and actuates the limit switches (50.4.1) for
interrupting the motor supply.
At the same time, the lever (62.5) at the
other end of the charging shaft is securely
locked by the close-latch pawl (62.5.2).
When the closing spring is being charged,
cam disc (62.3) follows along, and it is
brought into position for closing when the
closing spring is fully charged.

If the circuit breaker is to be closed locally,
the closing spring is released by pressing
the close button (53.0). In the case of
electrical control, the spring-release coil
52SRC (53.1) unlatches the closing spring.
As the closing spring discharges, the
charging shaft is turned by crank (62.2).
The cam disc (62.3) at the other end of the
charging shaft actuates the drive lever
(62.6), with the result that the jack shaft
(63.0) is turned by lever (63.5) via the
coupling rod (62.8).
At the same time, the levers (63.1), (63.5)
and (63.7) fixed on the jack shaft operate
the three-insulated couplers for the circuit-
breaker poles.
Lever (63.7) changes the OPEN/CLOSED
indicator (58.0) to CLOSED. Lever (63.5)
charges the tripping spring (64.0) during
closing, and the circuit breaker is latched
in the CLOSED position by lever (64.3) with
pawl roller (64.3.1) and by pawl (64.2).
Lever (63.1) actuates the auxiliary switch
through the linkage (68.1).
The crank (62.2) on the charging shaft
moves the linkage (55.1) by acting on the
control lever (55.2). The closing-spring
CHARGED indication (55.0) is thus
canceled and, the limit switches (50.4.1)
switch in the control supply to cause the
closing spring to recharge immediately.
