The indirect release provides for the

conversion of modest-control signals into

 

 

powerful mechanical-energy impulses. It is

These releases are mechanical-energy

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

storage devices. Their internal springs are

charged as a consequence of the circuit-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

breaker mechanism operation. This energy

coil is generally connected to a separate

auxiliary supply (dc or ac) from the control

 

 

 

 

 

 

supply used for the normal trip coil.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Undervoltage release (optional) (54.2)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The undervoltage release is used for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

continuous monitoring of the tripping-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

supply voltage. If this supply voltage falls

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

excessively, the undervoltage release will

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

provide for automatic tripping of the circuit

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

breaker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The undervoltage device may be used for

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

manual or relay tripping by employing a

contact in series with an undervoltage-
