Abstract: A power operator for switchgear for use in mains power distribution systems such as public medium high voltage distribution systems, where the switchgear comprises a closed cabinet (5) with an operating shaft protruding therefrom that is rotatable between two positions and has a coupling part. The motor operator includes a housing (11, 20, 21, 27) which is mountable on an external surface (4) of the switchgear cabinet (5), and a rotatable connection shaft connected to an electromechanical linear actuator. The connection shaft has a first coupling part which connects with the coupling part of the switchgear in a longitudinal axial sliding and non-rotational interlocking manner. The housing (11, 20, 21, 27) is a tube element which is tamper resistant, is relatively easy to seal against dust and moisture, and is inexpensive to manufacture.

Abstract: A power operator for switchgear (1) for mains power distribution systems, where the switchgear comprises a closed cabinet (5) with an operating shaft protruding there from. The operating shaft is rotable at least between two positions and has a coupling part (2, 3). The operator comprises a housing (10), which is mountable on the external surface (4) of the switchgear housing, and a rotatable connection shaft (14) connected to an electric drive mechanism (11). It has a first coupling part to fit with the coupling part of the operating shaft in a longitudinal axial sliding and non-rotational interlocking manner. The coupling part of the connection shaft (14) is a separate interchangeable part (24, 24a) of the connection shaft attached thereto by non-rotational interlocking means. Further, it has an activation knob (16) extending from the housing (10) to operate the switch manually.

Abstract: A motor operator for switchgear for use in mains power distribution systems comprising a closed cabinet (5) with an operating shaft (53) protruding there from said operating shaft being rotatable at least between two positions and has a coupling part (2). The motor operator (6, 7) comprises a housing mountable on the external surface of the switchgear cabinet. A rotatable connection shaft (51) is connected to an electric motor via a drive mechanism, and has a first coupling part (52) to fit with the coupling part (2) of the switchgear in a non-rotational interlocking manner, and further has a second coupling part (54) extending from the housing to operate the contact of the switch manually and, for which purpose, the motor operator has a release mechanism releasing the connection shaft. The motor and the drive mechanism is designed as an electro-mechanical actuator with a rear mounting (23) for mounting the actuator in the housing of the motor operator and ?.

It has a first coupling part to fit with the coupling part of the switchgear in a longitudinal axial sliding and non-rotational interlocking manner. The housing (11, 20, 21, 27) is a tube element which has the inherit quality that it does not invite to vandalism and unauthorized access. It is relatively easy to seal against dust and moisture. When cut from a length of a pipe it is easy to manufacture as well as inexpensive.
