Shutters fail-safe
Apparatus-switchgear unit compatibility matrix
Circuit-breaker mechanical operating mechanism
The device locks the shutters in the closed position when the
apparatus is removed from the compartment. The operator
cannot open the shut ters manually. The shutters can only be
operated by the apparatus truck.
The apparatus multi-contact plug and relative switchgear unit
socket are equipped with a mechanical matrix, that disables
apparatus racking-in into a switchgear unit with an
inappropriate rated current.
The apparatus compartment is equipped with a mechanical
device, that enables circuit-breaker closing and/or opening
directly by means of the front operating mechanism pushbuttons,
keeping the door closed. The controls can be operated with the
circuit-breakers in the operation and racked-out position.
