Abstract
A high energy spring drive to control a high voltage circuit breaker is described. The high energy spring drive includes a closing assembly positioned at a first end and an opening assembly positioned at a second end, a charging assembly positioned between the closing and opening assembly, and a transmission assembly. The closing and opening assembly control the closing and opening of circuit breaker. The charging assembly includes a worm wheel arrangement coupled to a motor to transfer torque to a motor shaft, to energize the closing assembly, a decoupling mechanism to decouple the worm wheel arrangement from the motor shaft on energization of the closing assembly, and a cam-follower mechanism. The transmission assembly actuated by the follower of the cam-follower mechanism is to electrically close a circuit breaker when the follower rotates in a first direction and electrically open the circuit breaker when the follower rotates a second direction.
