The invention relates to a work method of an electronic release, which is characterized in that: a
current transformer is used for detecting a
signal and transforming primary large current to lower output
voltage to be supplied to other links; after an output
voltage signal is taken out, the low output
voltage is transformed to direct-
current voltage through a bridge-type
rectifier circuit and a resistance-
capacitance filter circuit; then the direct-
current voltage is divided by a
resistor to be inputted to a
signal comparison link, and the signal comparison is realized by utilizing a
silicon voltage-
regulator tube or a
unijunction transistor; when the signal voltage exceeds the
breakdown voltage of the voltage-
regulator tube or the peak voltage of a double-base junction
transistor, the voltage-
regulator tube or the double-base junction
transistor is conducted, and a signal is outputted; and when a trigger is conducted, an armature of an electromagnetic-type release or an
electromagnetic induction-type release is actuated, or the
magnetic flux of a permanent
magnet is weakened because of different polarities of conductive current, the armature on the release is released, and finally a traction rod is facilitated to move, and a
circuit breaker is tripped. Due to the adoption of the work method of the electronic release, the safety of the circuit can be guaranteed, the protection function of the
circuit breaker is gradually completed, and the
circuit breaker is more flexible to control and is simpler and more convenient to operate. The sensitivity is high, and the protection work range is wide.
