    O-t-CO-T-CO: What Is O-0.3s-CO-3min-CO For A Circuit Breaker?

    This document discusses the rated operating sequence O-0.3s-CO-3min-CO for a circuit breaker. The sequence denotes the order of opening and closing operations the circuit breaker can perform under specified conditions. The sequence is: open, 0.3 seconds to allow the circuit breaker to receive a closing order, close, open. Then 3 minutes are required for the circuit breaker mechanism to regenerate before another close, open sequence. The 0.3 second delay allows time for the arc quenching medium to regain its properties after tripping, while the 3 minute delay charges the operating mechanism for another cycle.

    What is O-0.3s-CO-3min-CO for a Circuit breaker?

    This is the Rated Operating Sequence (Duty Cycle) of the circuit breaker. Which denotes the
    sequence of opening and closing operations which the circuit breaker can perform under
    specified conditions. The operating mechanism experiences sever stress during the auto-
    reclosure duty; however, the circuit breaker should be able to perform the operating sequence as
    follows:

    O-t-CO-T-CO

    Where,

    O = opening operation

    t = time required for circuit breaker to be ready to receive closing order from auto-reclosure relay
    (0.3 s to be used for rapid reclosure), (3 min not to be used for rapid reclosure).

    CO = close operation followed by open operations

    T = time required by the circuit breaker, insulating media for regeneration and operating
    mechanism (3 min)

    CO = close operation followed by open operations


    Ans-2

    The time between Open and close (0.3 sec) is the min. time after which CB can be closed after
    the Open operation. This time is required for Arc Quenching medium such as oil, SF6 etc. to
    regain its properties after tripping of the CB.

    Once the CB is close, it is designed to be tripped immediately without any time delay

    After an O-C-O operation, min 3 Mints time is required for CB operating mechanism
    (Hydraulic/Pneumatic/spring etc. to get charged after which another CO operation of the CB can
    be accomplished.
