A motor drive for actuation of an on- or off-load tap changer the drive has a drive motor, a load transmission having a first drive shaft carrying a first drive wheel and connected with the drive motor and a second drive shaft carrying a second drive wheel, and a mechanical coupling between the first and second drive wheels. The second drive shaft is operatively connected at a first end with the on- or off-load tap changer and at a second end with an indicator transmission. A setting indicator operatively connected with the indicator transmission displays the current setting of the on- or off-load tap changer, and a disengageable coupling is provided between the setting indicator and the load transmission.

A switch includes an insulating base having an upper surface and an assembly having a mounting surface. The assembly configured to be arranged on the insulating base, the assembly having a lower surface, the assembly being configured to be arranged on the upper surface of the insulating base with an open space between the lower surface of the assembly and the upper surface of the insulating base. The switch further includes a plurality of fixed contact units mounted in an aligned arrangement on the mounting surface of the assembly and a movable contactor mounted to move within the bore of the insulating body and the electrical contacts of the plurality of fixed contact units.

A longitudinal switch for an electric contact locking and position changing system was designed to position securely the movable switch elements (7), which are urged by springs (5) and a rack (1) and toothed gear (8) mechanism for moving a vertical shaft (9), acting upon fixed elements (contacts) (16) of an electrically insulating rail surface (15). Positions are changed by turning a control button (39) and the toothed gear (8), causing the vertical shaft (9) to rotate, thus moving the rack (1) and causing the movable elements (7) to slide on the semicircular surface (17) of the fixed elements (16), overcoming the force of the springs (5) and compressing them. Once the gap between the fixed elements (16) is located, the springs (5) push back, keeping the movable elements (7) locked and ensuring the effective electric contact with the electric current passing through these points of contact.

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.
