Abstract: A planning support system and method implemented in a computer system having a core control bridge communicating between a database and a user interface. The core control bridge receives user inputs from the user interface in accordance with criteria specified by a pre-existing planning model stored in the database. The information from the user inputs is processed in accordance with the criteria of the pre-existing planning model. Export file formats are generated for exporting information, the information being determined by interaction between the user inputs and the criteria of the pre-existing planning model. The resulting information is then exported into commercially available word processing, graphics, and presentation software, or customized software applications as determined by a client. The system and method can be adapted to any customized or commercial export file format, and well as exports to computers with different operating systems.

Abstract: Apparatus for closing a circuit breaker of a circuit that carries a substantial current includes a terminals (W1, W2, W12, W13, W14) for connection to an available source of electric power. The electric power available is typically 24 VDC, 48 VDC, 125 VDC or 120 VAC. An actuator including an electric motor M and a solenoid S both designed to operate on 24 VDC first cocks charging springs and then releases the charging springs to close the circuit breaker. A controller including a microprocessor U3 is connected to and derives power from the connected terminals and produces a pulse width modulated control signal (RUN; CLOSE) for controlling the actuator. The duty cycle of the pulse width modulated signal is adjusted in relation to the electric power supplied by the selected source so that the power supplied to the motor and relay functions effectively as the required 24 VDC power. Sensors J1 sense the condition of the charging springs, a charging cam, the circuit breaker, etc.
