The switchgear is operated by a magnetic actuator, which produces an opening and closing action. Switching occurs when a controlled pulse is sent through the open/close actuator from storage capacitors in the PowerLogic ADVC. When closed, the switch is latched magnetically. Spring loaded pushrods provide contact loading on the interrupters.

A current transformer (CT) and a capacitive voltage transformer (CVT) are moulded into the CT-housing.
These are monitored by the PowerLogic ADVC for protection, remote monitoring, and display. An auxiliary voltage supply of 115/230 V AC is required to power the control unit. Where this is inconvenient, an additional voltage transformer can be provided.
The recloser is supplied with copper stems or optional cable clamp connectors.
Mounting brackets for lightning arresters are optionally available.
The switchgear contact position is shown by a large, clearly visible external pointer. The main tank is equipped with a manual trip lever that can be operated from ground level by a hook stick which performs open and lockout simultaneously. The mechanical lever electronically inhibits both local and remote closing. The position of the lever is indicated to the PowerLogic ADVC by an associated micro-switch. The manual trip ring remains in the down position until it is physically returned to the normal position by the operator. The PowerLogic ADVC interfaces to the switchgear via the control cable and connects to the Switch Cable Entry Module (SCEM) in the base of the tank via a covered plug/socket sealing arrangement on both the PowerLogic ADVC and the switchgear.

The SCEM uses non-volatile memory to store the relevant calibration data, ratings, and number of operations. The SCEM also provides the first stage of electrical isolation and shorting electronics too short the CTs and CVTs in the event the control cable is disconnected while current is flowing through the switchgear.
