Description
Equipment
•
Shunt (trip) release (F-release)
(option)
Spring-operated/stored-energy mechanisms can be equipped with a shunt release.
Remote electrical switching off / tripping of the three-position switch-disconnector is
possible via the shunt release, e.g., transformer overtemperature tripping.
The shunt release is deactivated by means of an auxiliary switch which is coupled
mechanically with three-position switch-disconnector, or, in versions without auxiliary
switch, by means of a signalling switch.
•
Auxiliary switch
(option)
Each operating mechanism of the three-position switch-disconnector can be optionally
equipped with an auxiliary switch for the switch position indication.

Operating mechanisms for the three-position switches
The operating mechanism box of the panel accommodates all electrical and mechanical
control elements required for closing and opening the three-position switch.
Types of operating mechanisms for the three-position switch:
•
Manual spring-operated mechanism
The spring-operated mechanism is used for the three-position switches.
Switching movements are executed independently of the speed at which the opera-
ting lever is moved.
•
Manual spring-operated/stored-energy mechanism
The spring-operated/stored-energy mechanism is used for three-position switch-dis-
connectors in transformer feeders (as transformer switch).
Switching movements are executed independently of the speed at which the opera-
ting lever is moved.
Stored energy is available to trip the switch by means of a striker pin of an HV HRC
(current limiting) fuse or a shunt release (F-release).
The energy to trip the switch is stored when the switch is operated from the ’’OPEN“
position to the ’’CLOSED“ position.
After tripping (e. g. by means of the striker pin of the HV HRC (current limiting) fuse or
the shunt release) the switch position indicator of the switch-disconnector shows
“TRIPPED”
. Since tripping occurs only as a result of a protective device operation (e.g.,
operation of fuse), re-closing of the switch is not allowed. Before the switch can be re-
closed, the switch must be operated to the ’’GROUNDED“ position to allow for correc-
tion of the problem that led to the tripping action.
