ABSTRACT:
A motorized drive assembly for a circuit breaker operator comprising a follower mounted on a free wheeling double helix shaft which extends in the direction of movement of the operator between "TRIP," "RESET" and "ON" positions, the shaft being driven by an electric motor through a disengageable gearset controlled by a solenoid. The follower engages the operator, and upon rotation of the shaft the follower moves in one direction carrying the operator from a TRIP position to a RESET position. At this point, the follower has moved as far as one of the double helices will carry it in that direction, whereupon internally projecting lugs of the follower engage the other helix for movement in the opposite direction to carry the operator from the RESET to the ON position in which the breaker contacts are closed. The solenoid is then de-energized whereupon the gearset disengages, and the double helix shaft becomes free-wheeling which allows the follower to move freely when the circuit breaker trips causing the operator to move from the ON position to the TRIP position.
