Breaker Switch Diagram. As soon as power is applied to the control circuit terminals 7 and 4 the spring charging motor is energized and the closing springs charge. Install the circuit breaker.
This device is essential in a modern world that runs on electricity. The circuit breaker operating mechanism controls opening or closing of the switches. As soon as power is applied to the control circuit terminals 7 and 4 the spring charging motor is energized and the closing springs charge.
The diagram above shows a two conductor cable from the circuit breaker panel going to a wall switch.
Install the circuit breaker. When the mechanism is pulled closed breaker on the switch resets and returns the contacts to their de activated position. In a westinghouse cutler hammer schematic diagram the circuit breaker is shown open and the closing springs are shown discharged. The white wire is used for hot in this circuit and it is marked with black tape on both ends to identify it as such.
