Abstract:
A MV switching device (100) comprising: one or more electric poles, each comprising a movable contact (16) and a fixed contact (17) adapted to be coupled or uncoupled during the switching operations of said switching device; and an electromagnetic actuator (13) operatively coupled to the movable contacts of the electric poles, said electromagnetic actuator having at least an excitation winding (152); power supply means (60) for supplying electric power to said electromagnetic actuator; a power drive circuit (1) for driving said electromagnetic actuator, said power drive circuit comprising sensing means for providing signals indicative of the currents flowing along the circuit branches of said power drive circuit and of the voltages at the terminals of said power drive circuit.
Abstract:
A power and control device (1) for medium voltage applications characterised in that it comprises a power and control unit (2) having a first feeding port (21) electrically coupleable with electric power supply means (60), a first control device (3) operatively coupled to said first feeding port, said first control device being adapted to prevent the electrical feeding of said power and control unit through said first feeding port, when the operating temperature of said power and control device is lower than a first threshold value (TH1) indicative of a minimum operating temperature provided for said power and control unit.
