Operating Mechanism of Disconnectors and Earthing Switches

The motor drive is intended for the

drive of disconnectors and earthing
switches. For high-speed earthing
switches,a front-mounted spring-snap
mechanism guarantees the
necessarily high operation speed.

High-Speed-Earthing Switch (make-proof)

High-speed
earthing switch

High-speed earthing switches are

used for earthing and short-cutting
system components after prior
isolation. (cables, overhead lines
transformers)

High-Speed earthing switches are

make-proof. The high-speed action
and specially designed contact
system ensures that the conducting
parts are reliably earthed even if it is
inadvertently switch into connection
with live equipment.

High-Speed-Earthing Switch (make-proof)

Spring-snap mechanism

When the switching springs have been

charged, the spring-snap mechanism
operates the high-speed earthing switch with
the speed of action required.

To charge the spring, the spring-snap

mechanism is charged by a motor drive.

The charging lever is turned in the When the dead center position has been passed, the
direction of the arrow by the motor switching spring relaxes and pulls the operating lever by
drive via the motor operating snap action into the closed position. Opening operation

Covers and filter holders

Every gas compartment includes a cover with fitted rupture disk.

Rupture disks ar designed to burst at the given pressure in case the gas
pressures rises due to a fault operation. If the rupture disk bursts the diverter
guides the gas flow to a direction which is not dangerous for the operation
personnel or other equipment.

Gastight and gas permeable bushings are used in the switchgear. The bushing consists of
an aluminium flange ring, a cast resin body in which the electrode is encapsulated.

Gastight bushings separate adjacent gas compartments.
