Closing
After actuation of the closing coil, the change-over valve is
hydraulically switched to its closed position, thereby introdu-
cing high pressure to the bottom side of the output piston.
The system pressure is now on both sides of the output pis-
ton. The output piston moves the circuit-breaker to its closed
position because the area on the bottom side of the output
piston is greater than on the top (differential piston principle).
Through the choice of pressure/area ratio, the opening and
closing energy of the operating mechanism is optimally mat-
ched to the requirements of the circuit-breaker. The hydraulic
force retains the output piston at the closed position. In case
of insufficient hydraulic pressure an interlock pin prevents the
circuit-breaker from moving towards the open position.
Fig. 3: Operating mechanism
The energy storage is achieved through the use of a disk
spring which is charged by three equal storage cylinders
loaded by a disk spring column. The stored operation sequen-
ces are O-CO or CO-CO. The spring column of the operating vates the pump motor following switching operations

supervised by mechanical auxiliary contacts.
Recharging
The recharching of stored energy, e.g. after a switching ope-
ration, is performed by a hydraulic pump. The compact hyd-
raulic pump unit, consisting of pump motor, gears, pump and
an oil drain valve, is externally flanged to the output cylinder.
The oil gauges are situated on both sides of the lowpressure
reservoir for easy viewing.
