Motor Drive

Precision and reliability

Motor Drive makes use of a digitally controlled servo-
motor that drives the contacts of a high-voltage cir-
cuit-breaker (CB) with the highest precision, while the
energy necessary to enable the operations is stored in
capacitors.
A quiet, compact drive for extended mechanical en-
durance. With only one moving part, the Motor Drive
operates with precise, instantaneous and controlled
motion. The dramatic reduction of mechanically mov-
ing parts, ensures outstanding reliability, confirmed
by the achievement of 30.000 close/open operations.

Local Control Cabinet (LCC)

Intelligence onboard
The switchgear is equipped with an electronic local
control cabinet which enables the high voltage
switching bay (CB and DS\ES) to be digitally operated.
Fully compatible with substation automation systems
IEC 61850, Motor Drive collects and stores a wide ar-
ray of data that can be consulted and analyzed locally
and remotely.
