Advantages
Inertia is low, even for large outputs
Disadvantages
Intensive maintenance requirements of the compressor
Noisy operation
High pressure made the available energy for switching
operation very temperature sensitive

Advantages
Because of High pressure size of driving cylinder and
consequently size of mechanism as whole can be less than
that of other mechanisms.
Disadvantages
Frequent maintenance of the hydraulic operating
mechanism is required.
Due to the extreme high gas pressure, the gas tank of the
hydraulic operating mechanism has to meet pressure
vessel regulation in certain countries.
switching behavior is temperature sensitiveness.

When the ratchet wheel is driven beyond the dead point the
spring gives a torque in the clockwise direction and this
torque is sustained by the pin B with the closing holding
latch.

The low pressure reservoir, the working module, and the disc
spring assembly are arranged coaxially to the central axis at
60- degree rotation intervals.
By means of the three storage pistons, the mechanical energy
components of spring force and spring travel are converted
to the hydraulic energy components of pressure and volume.

The oil medium between the high pressure system and the
operating cylinder serves as a flexible linkage with a fast
acting control valve positioned in the flow path for closing
and opening operations

The rotate speed and the position of the rotor are received
by a photoelectric encoder fixed on the rotating shaft. The
travel of moving contactors is measured by the travel
sensor.
The computer is connected with the control unit by the
Communication Interface. It records and displays the
opening and closing operations of the HVCB, and it can also
do field debugging to make the motor drive mechanism
better meet the requirements of the operations.
