ABSTRACT:
An actuator, such as a motor of a power distribution switching device, may be operated by measuring at least one temperature parameter associated with an energy storage device (e.g., a battery) of the actuator, and establishing a recovery period and a reference voltage based on a measured temperature parameter. The reference voltage represents a sufficient terminal voltage of the energy storage device in the operational condition. During testing, a load is applied to the energy storage device for a predetermined time period, and the terminal voltage for the energy storage device is measured during the predetermined time period and compared with the reference voltage as a measure of the capability of the energy storage device to deliver an operational load. Following testing, actuator operation is inhibited for the established recovery period to allow the energy storage device to recover the capability to deliver the operational load. Actuator operation is allowed after the expiration of the actuator recovery period if the measured terminal voltage exceeds the reference voltage at that time.
