Method and system for providing power to circuit breakers

A method and system to improve efficiency and performance of a power supply by providing a consistent voltage level into a multiple-pole circuit breaker ( 10 ) to improve efficiency, reduce heat generation and increase the speed and consistency of "turn-on" times. A power supply ( 14 ) for changing waveform comprises circuitry for receiving at least one waveform having first and second components. Circuitry is provided for changing the first component and means for outputting a waveform comprising the outputs from the changing circuitry are also provided.
