    An anti-pumping relay is used in circuit breakers to prevent hunting. It cuts off the supply to the closing coil if the spring in the trip-neutral-close (TNC) switch fails. This prevents the circuit breaker from continuously closing and opening if a fault occurs while it is in the closing process. Without an anti-pumping relay, a TNC spring failure could lead to circuit breaker hunting as it would keep reclosing even after tripping for a fault. The anti-pumping relay ensures the circuit breaker can be tripped by protective relays regardless of its operating status.

    MY FAVORITE BOOKS This is called TNC switch as it has three positions namely TRIP,
    NEUTRAL  and  CLOSE.  This  type  of  switch  is  spring  loaded
    switch  i.e.  to  close  the  Circuit  Breaker  one  need  to  move  the
    TNC  switch  from  NEUTRAL  position  to  CLOSE  position  and
    then  due  to  spring  the  switch  automatically  will  come  to
    NEUTRAL  position.  Thus  even  though  the  Circuit  Breaker  is
    Close, the position of TNC switch will be at NEUTRAL. Same is
    the case for tripping the Circuit Breaker.
    The function of Anti Pumping relay is to cut off the supply to CB
    closing coil in case of TNC switch spring failure and prevent CB
    hunting effect i.e. continuous closing, opening operation.
     
    Anti pumping is also called Trip Free Mechanism of any Circuit
    Breaker. Why it is called Trip Free Mechanism?
     
    Suppose  the  Circuit  Breaker  has  been  closed  by  manually  by
    pressing  the  TNC  switch.  The  operating  mechanism  will  start
    operating for closing operation.
    Meanwhile a fault has taken place and fault sensing relay gives
    a trip command to the Circuit Breaker. The Trip Free Mechanism
    / Anti pumping feature ensures that the Circuit Breaker is tripped
    by protective relay even if it is under process of closing.
     
    What will Happen if Anti Pumping Relay is not Present?
     
    Suppose the Circuit Breaker is closed using TNC switch, and at
    the same instant spring of TNC switch fails and it did not came
    to  its  NEUTRAL  position.  So  continuos  supply  will  be  available
    to the Breaker closing coil.
     
    Assume  a  fault  occurred  and  the  protection  relay  had  been
    operated  at  this  instant  and  opened  the  CB.  Since  supply  is
    continuously  available  to  the  Circuit  Breaker  closing  coil
    because  of  TNC  spring  failure,  then  CB  will  close  again,  since

    fault is still persisting the Circuit Breaker will trip. In this way the

    continuous  Circuit  Breaker  opening  and  closing  will  take  place


    which may damage Circuit Breaker operating mechanism.
     

    This  phenomenon  of  continuous  Circuit  Breaker  opening  and


    closing  is  termed  as  Circuit  Breaker  hunting.    That  is  why  to
    prevent Circuit Breaker hunting, Anti Pumping Relay is used.
