The under voltage trip device for VCP-Wind circuit
breakers is an electromechanical device that operates to
open the circuit breaker at 30% or less of the voltage
rating of the trip coil. The device does not open the circuit
breaker at values above 60% of the voltage rating of its
trip coil. It may operate, however, to open the circuit
breaker when the voltage across the trip coil is greater
than 30%, but less than 60% of the voltage rating of its
trip coil. The circuit breaker can be closed as long as the
voltage to the trip coil is maintained at 85% or above the
rated level. The under voltage trip device is available only
as an instantaneous type with rated voltages of 48VDC, 1
25VDC, 250VDC 120VAC and 240VAC.

6-8.1 CLOSURE™ TEST
Introduction: The CloSureTM Test is a simple yet
extremely effective means to determine and monitor the
ability of the mechanism to close the breaker contacts
fully. It provides a quantitative measure of the extra energy
available in terms of over travel in inches to close the
breaker contacts to their full extent. It may be used
periodically to monitor the health of the mechanism.
At times, circuit breakers are called upon to operate MOC
switches (mechanism operated control switches) that
place extra load upon the closing mechanism of the circuit Figure 6-3 Status Indicators ( “ A ” shows the
breaker. If this load is excessive, it can prevent the circuit contact status indication and “ B ” shows the spring
breaker from closing fully. In such a case, it is important to indication.)
determine that the circuit breaker will close fully. The
CloSureTM Test provides this assurance.

Roller bearings are used on the pole shaft, the cam
