1S Single Spring

2S Double Spring

Operating energy is provided by

charging a spring (lever or motor),
which, when released, causes the
contacts to open or close

- Springs charging (with lever or motor)

- Using the stored energy for closing and
opening operations (with pushbuttons or shunts)

Independent

Lever

Lever and pushbutton

Motor

Motor and coils

- Operating energy is provided by charging a spring (with a lever),

which, when released, causes the contacts to open or close
- Independent speed
- Separate lever insertion point for line and earth operation
- Operating lever with anti-reflex function
- For motor operated actuators, in case of emergency, it is always possible to operate
manually the actuators
- In combination with fuses, opening can be
triggered by the fuse striker
- Possibility to discharge springs once loaded
