When the operation ends, the eccentric shaft drive rod A (15) returns to its initial position and faces the sensor (13). At this time, manually operate the handle (4), and the square shaft (5) inserted therein rotates to drive the lever (14) to move synchronously. The positions of the eccentric shaft drive rod A (15) and the eccentric shaft drive rod B (16) are both outside the opening / closing and reset movement range of the lever (14); when the square shaft (5) rotates, it drives the manual operating mechanism (2) inserted therein to open / close the circuit breaker (3) and drives the handle (4) to move.
