    Abstract: A circuit breaker closing actuator and a method of operation is provided. The closing actuator is disposed to communicate and receive signals from a trip unit. The trip unit includes a communications to transmit and receive data and signals from a remote location. The trip unit transmits a signal to the closing actuator in response to receiving a closing signal from the remote location. The closing actuator validates the signal and activates a driving circuit if the signal is validated. The driving circuit enables power to a solenoid that closes the circuit breaker.

    Abstract: A protection apparatus for a circuit breaker disposed in a circuit to be protected uses a solenoid configured to operate the circuit breaker on command, an undervoltage release (UVR) sensing apparatus configured to produce an UVR signal in response to a line voltage of the circuit to be protected falling below a predetermined level, and a shunt trip (ST) sensing apparatus configured to produce a ST signal when it senses a ST command. A controller operably connected to the UVR sensing apparatus, the ST sensing apparatus, and the solenoid, is configured to receive the UVR and ST signals when produced and controls the solenoid to open the breaker in response to receipt by the controller of either of the UVR and ST signals.
