OPERATING DEVICE OR VACUUM SWITCH

摘要

The purpose of the present invention is to provide an operating device or a vacuum switch that allows the overall height of the operating device to be reduced and convenience of installation to be improved. In order to solve the aforementioned problem, this operating device is equipped with: an electromagnet (14) which is provided inside a case (10) and fixed to the case (10) via a fixation section; a capacitor (16) which is provided at an inner end part of the case (10); a control substrate (18) which is provided opposite to the capacitor (16) across the electromagnet (14); an auxiliary contact (34) which is provided above the capacitor (16); a movable section which can be moved by means of a magnetic force generated by the electromagnet (14); and a power transmission section which operates in conjunction with the movement of the movable section. The capacitor (16) and the auxiliary contact (34) are provided at heights not exceeding the height of the fixation section used for fixing the electromagnet (14).
