Motor operating mechanism 5 “Closing spring charged” indicator at
In the case of motor operating mechanism, the closing spring is the operating mechanism
charged by means of a motor and latched in the charged posi-
tion (“spring charged” indication is visible). Closing is effected
either by means of an ON pushbutton or a closing solenoid.
The closing spring is recharged automatically (for auto-reclosing).

Resistance to internal faults

Due to the single-pole enclosure and the gas insulation of the
switchgear and the switching devices, the possibility of faults
in 8DA/B switchgear is a mere fraction of that typical of other
switchgear types:
• There are no effects due to external influences, such as
– Pollution layers
– Humidity
– Small animals and foreign objects
• Maloperation is practically excluded due to logical
arrangement of operating elements
• Short-circuit-proof feeder earthing by means of the
circuit-breaker.
In the unlikely event of a fault within the switchgear housing,
the energy conversion in the case of an internal arc fault is
minor thanks to the gas insulation and the shorter length of
the arc, approximately only ⅓ of the converted energy of an
arc in air insulation.
Resistance to short circuits and earth faults

Two-phase and three-phase short circuits between the
primary conductors are excluded by the single-pole
primary enclosure.
Seismic withstand capability (optional)

8DA/B switchgear can be upgraded for regions at risk from
earthquakes.
