Our range of motor operating mechanisms is designed to ensure the best performances and reliability, which are the result of our 60-year old experience. Over 50,000 disconnectors and switchers installed in more than 100 countries worldwide are the guarantee of bestbuys. The electrical operation of the disconnector through the CD mechanism can be done remotely, or from local push buttons. A local/remote selector prevents any interference between the two control modes. The applicable voltage range extends from 85% to 110% of the rated voltage. The manual operation of the disconnector is possible by the means of a manual handle. The insertion of the handle is allowed only if the electrical interlocks are permissive and the pushbutton is energized and operated. This action also switches off automatically the motor supply, to prevent any accidental electrical operation. This handle allows also the padlocking of the mechanism, preventing any operation (see picture). Depending on the model (see table) the actuation of the integrated earthing switch can be done manually by a lever or a handle, or electrically as well. A mechanical interlock ensures that the motions of the shafts are possible only in safe condition
