Abstract

A circuit breaker assembly can include a mechanism configured to be actuated by an operator. The mechanism can be configured to move between a first position and a second position to change a state of a contactor between a closed state and an open state. The circuit breaker assembly can include a reluctance sensor system operatively connected to the mechanism and configured to determine a position and / or a motion of the mechanism as a function of magnetic reluctance. The reluctance in the reluctance sensor system can change as a function of mechanism position.
