Circuit breaker data
15.1 Operating mechanism data
The following table describes the data of the circuit breaker’s operating mechanism.

To perform motion measurements on a circuit breaker a travel transducer needs to be applied to the
mechanical linkage. One goal of the motion measurement method is the assessment of the main
contacts within the interrupter unit. However, the interrupter units are not accessible by the motion
sensor directly. Therefore the sensors are applied to the connecting rod or the drive lever on the outside
of the interrupter unit. In order to still be able to get the motion path of the main contacts, you can
calculate it based on the measurements taken by the motion sensor.
