Publication number: 20140231391Abstract: A switchgear and an operating mechanism thereof which stably maintain a spring force by a shutoff spring, and reduce an opening time. The operating mechanism includes a main lever that rotates upon receiving the spring force by a shutoff spring released in a transition to a shutoff condition to move a movable contact apart from an opposing contact, and the main lever is linked with a sub lever fixed to a sub shaft rotatable around its shaft. The sub shaft is fixed with a latch lever with a roller attached to the tip thereof. The latch lever is prevented from rotating by a latch present on a movement trajectory of the roller. A weight is pushed against the latch in a separable manner, and the weight is pushed by an actuator to allow the latch to rotate, thereby being retracted from the movement trajectory of the roller.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2012Publication date: August 21, 2014Applicant: KABUSHIKI KAISHA TOSHIBAInventors: Tadashi Iwasawa, Yoshikata Kobayashi, Satoshi Marushima, Masaharu Shimizu, Masahiro Nagao, Tatsuya Watanabe, Hirokazu Takagi, Yoshiaki Ohda
