Operating mechanism
The operating mechanism contains all the electrical and mechanical components re-
quired to close or open the vacuum circuit-breaker. Isolators transfer the switching
movement to the pole assemblies.
The operating mechanism is covered by a removable cover (20.1).
Operating and indicator elements
There are openings in the cover (20.1) for the operating and indicator elements.
Functions
The CLOSE pushbutton (56.1) is used to close the vacuum circuit-breaker. The mo-
tor immediately charges the closing spring. If the supply voltage for the motor fails,
the closing spring can be charged with a hand crank. There is an opening for this in
the cover (20.1), behind which you will find the hand crank coupling (57.2) of the
gear unit.
To prevent electrical and manual closing, some designs of the vacuum circuit-break-
er can be fitted with a key-operated interlock (59.3).
Indicators
The charge state of the springs is indicated by the spring state indicator (55.1). The
position indicating device (56.3.) shows the CLOSED or OPEN switching state. The
operating cycle counter (58) indicates the number of performed operating cycles. An
operating cycle consists of one closing and one opening.
