Device description

Motor Operator

Electromechanical operator for remote closing, opening and/or charging of a compatible switching device mechanism.

A motor operator converts an electrical command into mechanical action on the handle or internal mechanism of the host device.

It is used for remote operation of circuit breakers, transfer switches and other power switching devices.

Depending on the design, it may perform closing, opening, automatic mechanism charging and ready-state indication.

Selection criteria include control voltage, operating time, permissible switching frequency, power consumption, compatibility and mounting position on the device.
