BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in
understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the
information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed
invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Magnetic Trip Coil assembly is conventionally used in the
switchgears where no auxiliary supply is available to trip the circuit breaker in case of a fault condition. Usually, switchgears of wind farm applications where it is difficult to arrange the auxiliary supply are having the prime requirement of Magnetic Trip coil assembly. Magnetic trip coil assembly is an electro-mechanical device that stores the energy in spring incorporated in magnetic coil and releases its energy after receiving specific minimum electrical pulse. A Plunger inside the magnetic coil travels from initial position to final position with the help of spring. The plunger is held in the Initial position with the help of permanent magnet. To release the plunger from initial position, a low power voltage is given to the coil. As the minimum electrical impulse is given to the coil, the plunger leaves the contact with the permanent magnet and now, the spring inside the coil applies force on the plunger and takes it to the final position. The overall output force of the magnetic tripping coil is given by the spring inside the coil and electromagnetic force generated from electrical pulse. With increase in GIS Rating, moving mass in closing and tripping is also increasing and hence sometimes more force is required to trip the breaker.
[0004] There is, therefore, a need for a coil that can give more Force with
minimum electrical input pulse.

[0023] The present disclosure relates to the field of circuit breaker. More
particularly the present disclosure relates to a magnetic tripping coil assembly for the circuit breakers.
[0024] The present disclosure elaborates upon a magnetic tripping coil
assembly adapted to be configured in a circuit breaker. The magnetic tripping coil assembly includes a mounting frame. A magnetic coil is configured on the mounting frame, and the magnetic coil comprises a plunger configured to be actuated in case of any fault condition in the circuit breaker. A bracket pivotally configured, from a first centre, with the mounting frame such that a first end of the bracket is operatively configured with the plunger, and configured to be pressed by the plunger.

A latch assembly operatively configured with the mounting frame for assisting the circuit breaker tripping. The latch assembly includes a latch operatively configured, from a second centre, with the mounting frame, and the latch comprises a third end and a fourth end, the third end is elastically coupled at a pre-defined location of the mounting frame.
[0025] In an embodiment, the third end can be elastically coupled with the
mounting frame through a spring, and the latch is configured to rotate, on its axis, against a spring force to store energy in the spring in response to a movement of the rest link.
[0026] In an embodiment, after storing the energy in the spring, the latch
can be held on the same position using a stopping member configured to engage with the fourth end.
[0027] In an embodiment, the stopping member can be configured to
disengage from the fourth end at the same time when the bracket moves due to the plunger actuation, thereby, the stored energy in the spring is delivered to the bracket facilitating assistance in the circuit breaker tripping.
[0028] FIG. 1 illustrate an exemplary representation of magnetic tripping
coil assembly, according to an aspect of the present disclosure.
[0029] FIG. 2A-C illustrate an exemplary representation of a section of the
magnetic tripping coil assembly, according to an aspect of the present disclosure.
[0030] As illustrated, a magnetic tripping coil assembly 100 adapted to be
configured in a circuit breaker can includes a mounting frame 102. The mounting frame 102 can facilitate mounting one or more components of the assembly 100. A magnetic coil 104 can be configured or mounted on the mounting frame 102. The magnetic coil 104 can include a plunger 118 that can be configured to be actuated in case of any fault condition in the circuit breaker. The magnetic coil can be configured to receive an electric pulse in case of any fault condition. The received electric pulse can actuate the plunder, and the plunger can be configured to move from a first retracted position to a second extended position.
[0031] In an embodiment, a bracket 106 can be pivotally configured or
mounted with the mounting frame 102. The bracket 106 can include a first end 106-1 and a second end 106-2 and the bracket is mounted such that the first end 106-1 of the bracket can be operatively configured with the plunger 118 when the plunger is at the second extended position. When the plunger is moved from the first retracted position to the second extended position, the plunger can be configured to be pressed by the first end 106-1 of the bracket 106. The bracket 106 can include an extended element 116 that can be at the first end 106-1.
[0032] In an embodiment, a trip shaft 108 can be position below the
extended element 116 and can be configured to be rotated, corresponding to the pressing of the first end, to facilitate circuit breaker tripping. The trip shaft can include a paddle 120 that can be positioned below the extended element 116. While pressing the first end 106-1, by the plunger 118, the paddle 120 can be correspondingly pressed by the extended element 120 facilitating the rotation of the tripping shaft 108.
[0033] In an embodiment, a rest link 110 can be operatively configured with
the second end 106-2of the bracket 106. The reset link 110 can be configured to
reset the plunger 118 after the plunger is actuated and the plunger 118 is at the
second extended position. A latch assembly can be operatively configured with the
mounting frame 102 for assisting the circuit breaker tripping. The latch assembly
can include a latch 112 that can be operatively configured, from a second centre,
with the mounting frame 102. The latch can include a third end 112-1 and a fourth
end 112-2. The third end 112-2 can be elastically coupled with the mounting frame
102, at a predefined location, through an elastic element 114.
[0034] In an embodiment, the latch 112 can be configured to rotate, on its
axis, against a spring force. This can facilitate storing energy in the spring in response to an upward movement of the rest link 110. After storing the energy in the spring, the latch 112 can be held on the same position using a stopping member 122 configured to engage with the fourth end 112-2. The stopping member 122 can be configured to disengage from the fourth end 112-2 at the same time when the bracket 102 starts moving due to the plunger actuation. This can facilitate delivering
the stored energy in the spring the bracket 106 and can assist in the circuit breaker tripping action.
