Definitions
- circuit breaker system uses electronic control together with mechanically operated cut-throat contacts for controlling the energization of set and trip" coils of the circuit breakers electromagnetic operator in response to the closing and opening of a remotely located pilot control circuit breaker.
- the electronic control additionally responds to trip-open of the main circuit breaker to subject the pilot breaker to a controlled value of simulated over-load current that will cause the latter to trip open and afford indication of opening of the main circuit breaker.
- cut-throat contacts The operation of the aforementioned cut-throat contacts is dependent upon the armature of the electromagnetic operator attaining one or the other of its extreme positions.
- the required adjustment of such contacts to open in correspondence with the armature attaining its sealed positions is critical. If they open too soon the armature may not attain sealed position, or if they fail to open coil burn-out can result.
- a nonmechanical way of effecting deenergization of these operating coils of the electromagnetic operator is highly desirable.
- a further object of the invention is to provide an electronic control system of the aforementioned type which is characterized by affording timed pulses of current to the set and trip coils for a duration sufficient to insure that the armature of electromagnetic operator will transfer from one to the other of its extreme sealed positions.
- Another object of the invention is to provide an electronic control system of the aforementioned type which can function equally well when supplied with either or both main AC power and auxiliary DC power.
- a more specific object is to provide an electronic control system of the aforementioned type wherein digital type logic modules are utilized to initiate triggering the energization of the set and trip coils in response to the closing and opening of the remote pilot control breaker, and
- a still further specific object of the invention is providing an electronic control system of the aforementioned type wherein said digital type logic modules also initiate deenergization of said set and trip coils a predetermined timed interval following energization of the latter.

- control electrode of SCRI will be subjected to a firing current wherever the output of unit IC2A is at logic I level and similarly the control electrode of SCR2 will be subjected to a firing current whenever the output terminal of logic unit IC2B is at a logic I level.
- a diode D3 which has its anode connected to line 16 is connected in series with overload trip contacts OLT and a thermistor TH through a line 18 to a terminal 3.

- the emitter of O1 is connected to the base of an N-P-N transistor Q4, and in series with the collector-emitter circuit of O4 to ground.
- the emitter of transistors Q2 and Q3 are connected to ground.
- a pair of capacitors C4 and C5 are connected in series between line 16 and ground, and serve as high frequency noise filters to prevent unwanted turn-on of either SCR] or SCR2.
- Diodes D4 and D5 connected in series between ground and line 16 prevent the anodes of SCRl and SCR2 from swinging negative.
- Diodes D6 and D7 are connected across coils'T and S respectively in the reverse conducting relation shown to prevent the coils from being subjected to inductive transients when either of them are switched off, and to provide coil circulating currents when switched on.
- junction point 14 of the power supply is connected in series with a diode D8, a resistor R4, a diode D9 and voltage divider resistors R5 and R6 to ground.

- Bias resistors R7 and R8 are connected across the emitter-base circuits of Q5 and Q6 respectively.
- a resistor R9 is connected across the emitter and base of Q7 and the point common between the base of Q7 and resistor R9 is connected in series with a resistor R11 to the collector of an N-P-N transistor Q8 which has its collector connected to ground.
- a zener diode ZDl is connected between the collector and emitter of 08 as shown to provide transient voltage protection thereacross.
- the base of O8 is connected in series with a resistor R10 to the output terminal of logic unit lCl with a capacitor C7 connected between the base and collector of Q8.

- a zener diode ZD2 has its anode connected to ground and its cathode connected to the point common between resistor R13 and line 26 and acts as a voltage regulator.
- the point common between diodes D14 and D15 is connected in series with a resistor R14 to line 26.
- the point common between dioded D8 and D15 is connected through line 28 and a resistor R15 to input terminal of logic units IC2D and IClC.
- Line 28 is also connected through a resistor R16 to input terminals of logic unit IC2B and IClD, respectively.
- Both input terminals of logic unit IC2A and both input terminals of logic unit ICZB are connected through a line 30 to the point common between the collector of transistor Q1 and capacitor C3.
- the logic output of IC2C is connected in series with a capacitor C9 to the point common to resistor R15, and the aforementioned input terminals of logic unit [C2D and IClC.

- capacitor C10 and R11 are selected to provide an RC time constant that will insure SCR2 and coil S being maintained energized sufficiently long to effect closure of the main circuit breaker contacts l2", l2" and 12".
- RPB is opened.
- the input terminals to lC2C follow the rise in potential at terminal 3, and immediately go to a logic 1 level, and the output terminal of the latter correspondingly goes to a logic 0" level, as do the input terminals of IC2D.'Thus the output terminal of lC2D goes to a logic 1 level causing the control gate of SCRl to be subjected to a firing current and SCRl then turns on. Rectified AC current then flows through diodes D1 and D2, resistor R1, coil T and SCRl. Coil T is thus energized to cause the electromechanical operating mechanism to open main breaker contacts 12", 12" and 12.
- Capacitor 9 which was previously discharged begins to charge when the output terminal of lC2C terminal goes to a logic 0" level.
- the charge potential of capacitor 9 reaches a logic 1" level, the upper input terminal of lC2D being subjected to such potential causes the output terminal of the latter to shift to a logic 0 level. Consequently SCRl will thereafter turn-off on the next zero point in the rectified AC current.
- the value of capacitor C9 and resistor R15 are selected to provide an RC time constant that will insure SCRl and coil T being maintained energized suffciently long to complete opening of contacts 12, 12, and 12.
- the electromagnetic armature of the main circuit breaker is caused to operate to the point wherein main contacts 12, 12 and 12 are held open pending reclosing of remote pilot breaker RPB.
- the transfer of the armature of the electromagnetic operate effects reopening of overload trip contacts OLT.
- thermistor TH also functions to limit current flow through line 18 and pilot control breaker RPB if a fault should occur. If a fault should occur in line 18 or breaker RPB, the high current flowing through TH will cause its temperature to rise and when C is reached a very marked increase in ohmic resistance of TH occurs thereby limiting the current flow therethrough.
- lClA will then have logic 0 levels at both input terminals to cause a shift to logic 1 at its output terminal and effect consequent turn-on of transistor Q8, Q7, Q6 and OS for a timed interval and provide current flow through lines 26 and 16 to energize SCRl and trip coil T.
- said means comprises means for controlling the supply of DC. energizing current to the set and trip coils in event of loss of main AC power, said last mentioned means being responsive to presence of normal AC power to block flow of DC energizing current, and being responsive to absence of normal AC voltage to make auxiliary DC power available to energize said set and trip coils.
- said means comprises first and second digital logic switching means, and first switching means responding to closure of said pilot control circuit breaker to initiate energization of said set coil, and said second switching means responding to opening of said pilot control circuit breaker to initiate energization of said trip coil.
- each of said switching means includes timing circuit means which cause each of the latter to switch to coil deenergizing states after a timed interval following its switching to the coil energizing state.
- said third digital logic switching means includes means responsive to action of said timing circuit means to provide coil deenergizing states to render said transistor means non-conducting to remove auxiliary DC power from said set and trip coils.
