The energy storage device 4 can stretch the closing or opening spring to make it have corresponding potential energy. The energy storage spring is connected to the closing or opening mechanism. When closing or opening, the closing or opening electromagnet is actuated, and after the switch is pulled (pressing the corresponding button), the closing or opening spring quickly closes or separates the moving contact of the circuit breaker. Its main purpose is to reduce the arc existence time of closing or opening (fast closing) to achieve the purpose of rapid arc extinguishing.

It is usually composed of a control circuit, a contact system and an operating mechanism. When the circuit breaker is in normal working state, the auxiliary switch transmits corresponding signals through the closing or opening of the contacts to realize the control and monitoring of the circuit breaker.
[0045] The contact system of the auxiliary switch is usually composed of normally closed contacts and normally open contacts. When the circuit breaker is in the closed state, the normally closed contacts are closed and the normally open contacts are open; when the circuit breaker is in the open state, the normally open contacts are closed and the normally closed contacts are open. By monitoring the status of these two sets of contacts, the opening and closing status of the circuit breaker can be obtained.

Applying a specified voltage or current to the shunt release can trip the circuit breaker. With the shunt release, remote tripping control can be achieved through a certain control loop. By providing the reserved mounting holes 6 and the reserved space 15, a shunt release can be added to the reserved mounting holes 6, and two can be installed.
