Presentation

Introduction CMK--type electrical controls are used for the bus bar, earthing switch and
current injector mechanisms.

Covering and control A covering allows to protect the group.Open door, there is an equipped control
plate plate comprising :
-- interlocking,
-- optical indicator,
-- a hole closed by a shutter controlled by manual commutator allowing
also to operate the mechanism by emergency crank + tip, (excepted for
starting switch for which access is blocked).

Motorisation and The control mechanism :

servo control sec- -- A low--powered AC motor, supplied by an AC source.
tions
-- A reducing gearbox in a sealed, lubricant--filled housing.
The top of the output drive shaft from the reducing gearbox is attached to the
end--stop controls and a sprocket on the very end which in turn is connected
to the optical indicator via a chain.
-- A block of auxiliary contacts is fitted to each side of the end--of--travel stops.
