Patent ID: 7825344

Claim:
A system for remotely displacing a circuit breaker of a selected type of electrical switchgear having a selected drive member arranged to displace the circuit breaker in accordance with predetermined displacement parameters, said system comprising: a motor for driving the drive member; a force-transmitting member releasably connectible with said motor, said force-transmitting member being of a selected type adapted to engage the selected drive member so as to transmit force thereto and adapted to remain in engagement with the selected drive member throughout at least the major part of the range of displacement of the circuit breaker, and said force-transmitting member being provided with an identifying element for generating a signal identifying said force-transmitting member as being of said selected type of force-transmitting member; a mounting member for mounting said force-transmitting member in a position to engage and transmit force to the selected drive member; and a control unit responsive to said signal and programmed with the predetermined displacement parameters for the circuit breaker, said control unit being adapted to cause said motor to drive said force-transmitting member based on the predetermined displacement parameters for the circuit breaker.
