The present invention relates to a motor drive having a position indicator for actuation of an on-load tap changer or diverter. The invention proposes a motor drive for actuating an on-load tap changer or diverter. This diverter has a drive motor which drives at least one load gear and an indicator gear, wherein the load gear has a first drive shaft, having a first drive pulley which is mechanically connected thereto and is connected to the drive motor, and a second drive shaft having a second drive pulley which is connected thereto. The first and second drive pulleys are mechanically coupled, wherein the second drive shaft itself is operatively connected on the first side thereof to the on-load tap changer or the diverter and can be connected by the second side thereof to the indicator gear. The indicator gear co-operates with a position indicator, by means of which the currently activated position of the on-load tap changer or diverter can be displayed, and wherein a switchable coupling device can be provided between the position indicator and the load gear.

A switch includes a fixed contact part including a fixed contact, a movable contact part including a movable contact, a control button, an operation part including a first end and a second end, and a lock. When the first end is pressed, the control button is pressed by the operation part, the movable contact touches the fixed contact, and the switch becomes an ON state. While the movable contact and the fixed contact are in contact with each other, a first protrusion of the lock touches an engaging part of the control button to limit movement of the control button and maintain the ON state. When the second end is pressed, the operation part touches a second protrusion of the lock and moves the lock in such a direction that the first protrusion moves away from the engaging part, and the switch becomes the OFF state.

The invention relates to a spring controller for high- or medium-voltage electric switchgear, the controller having a free-wheel coupling device between a crank handle or a motor and the drive shaft (1) for driving a switch contact of the switchgear and respectively providing coupling while the spring(s) (11) is/are being loaded and decoupling while the spring(s) is/are being released. The free-wheel mechanical device is incorporated in a toothed wheel (2) of the controller and includes at least one pawl (7, 70) meshing or not meshing with an inner set of teeth (4) of the toothed wheel (2).

A clutch mechanism for an energy storage device is disclosed. In an embodiment, the clutch mechanism includes a loading gear, a driving gear, a one-way bearing, a sleeve, and a gear shaft comprising a gear portion and a clutch portion. The gear shaft includes multiple spheres, and a push rod and an elastic element which are located in a cavity of the gear shaft. The push rod includes a groove and can slide in the axial direction of the gear shaft. A pressure block is fixed to the driving gear, the pressure block being able to push the push rod to slide in the axial direction of the gear shaft, so as to unlock or lock the sleeve and the gear shaft. A gas insulated circuit breaker employing such a clutch mechanism is also disclosed.
