Abstract: Exemplary embodiments are directed to a tooling device which for connecting to a manipulator. The device includes a base unit and at least two manipulator modules each with a first and a second end. At least one degree of freedom in movement is provided between both ends of each manipulator module. The first end is connected with the base unit and a tool interface is provided at the second end. The tool interfaces are each moveable independently of the other relative to the base unit. At least one manipulator module is linearly moveable on its first end relative to the base unit.

Abstract: A method and system for driving an actuator of a circuit breaker are disclosed. The method includes supplying a coil of the actuator with a first voltage, wherein the coil can generate a magnetic field, which can cause an armature to move relative to a stator of the actuator from a closed position to an opened position. A second voltage of reverse polarity can be supplied to the coil with respect to the first voltage while the armature is moving relative to the stator, such that the coil can generate a reverse magnetic field, which decelerates the relative movement of the stator and the armature.
