The invention discloses an electric operating mechanism for 
switchgear. A core mounted in a case a comprises a driving device, a manual 
interlocking device, an auxiliary switch component and an 
electrical element, and 
brake closing and separating are completed by a motor and an isolation / ground switch through a gear pair / worm gear pair / bidirectional overrunning 
clutch / output shaft. An output shaft 
sprocket is connected with a lateral and front face indication 
sprocket by means of a chain for transmission, the manual 
interlocking device enables electromagnetic 
interlocking, manual-electric interlocking and suspension locking, and an operating 
handle cannot be inserted or pulled until a 
brake is closed or separated. The electric operating mechanism for the 
switchgear is simple in structure, systematic 
inertia has no influences on the output angle and position, and damage of the motor, parts or a main switch of the mechanism caused by uncompleted switching of contacts or a failed position switch are avoided by means of mechanical in-place protection. Furthermore, the electric operating mechanism for the 
switchgear is complete in interlocking, simple, reliable, small in size, low in cost and small in manual operation moment of force and enables rapid 
brake closing and separating.
