  • Cradle for electrical switchgear
    Patent number: 10749320
    Abstract: A cradle intended to be incorporated in a high-voltage electrical switchgear cubicle, including a mobile trolley bearing a switch apparatus provided with mobile contacts, a mechanism for operating the mobile contacts via operating springs and at least one coil for actuating the operating springs, a motorized protection shutter intended to prevent access to conductive busbars of the switchgear cubicle, and motorized device for driving the mobile trolley intended to be able to connect the switch apparatus to the conductive busbars. A first automation controller is embedded on the mobile trolley to control the operating mechanism and the actuating coil, and a second automation controller is embedded in the cradle to control the protection shutter and the device for driving the mobile trolley.
