According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present disclosure relates to an actuating mechanism (100) for a molded case circuit breaker (MCCB). The actuating mechanism includes a pair of solenoid assemblies including a first solenoid assembly (102-1) and a second solenoid assembly (102-2), actuated concurrently with a motor to operate an epicyclic gear train (112) of the MCCB, wherein the motor rotates clockwise and counterclockwise to activate and deactivate the MCCB. A first pawl latch (108-1) and second pawl latch (108-2) coupled to corresponding ratchets (114-1, 114-2) of the epicyclic gear train (112) to restrain the motion of the corresponding ratchets (114-1, 114-2). The epicyclic gear train defining a cam profile (122) selectively releases corresponding pawl latches and the actuating mechanism prevents damage caused due to excess momentum of the motor in both directions of motor rotation."
