Series 2000 Circuit-Switchers

Series 2000 Operator

Series 2000 Circuit-Switcher interrupters are driven by a single, stored-energy mechanism located at ground level. The operator directly drives the interrupters open and closed through a simple, high-speed power train. The power train leads from the top of the operator, through a horizontal interphase linkage enclosed in the steel-sheathed box-type base, to reciprocating-action insulated operating rods that pass through the hollow insulating support columns. The mechanism features instantaneous trip-free capability: if the Circuit-Switcher is inadvertently closed into a fault sensed by user-furnished relays, the mechanism will trip immediately.

Other features of the operator include:

• Weatherproof, dustproof enclosure with front and side access doors.
• Trip and close push buttons.
• Non-reset electrical operation counter.
• Charged and discharged indicators.
• Manual-trip lever.
• Optional position-indicating lamps provide local indication of trip-coil continuity as well as open/closed status of interrupters.
