Italian term

interruttore di manovra

Italian to English Tech/Engineering Energy / Power Generation Electricity networks
"Commutatore (inteso come "Interruttore di manovra" CEI EN 60947-3) con bobina di apertura a mancanza di tensione combinato con fusibile o con interruttore automatico"

I've looked up the standard but there are various kinds of switches mentioned and I don't know which this is. Any advice gratefully accepted!
Many thanks

Peer comment(s):

agree meirs : "di manovra" indicates the purpose rather than the nature of the device - but it is correct in this case

Reference:

bobina di apertura a mancanza di tensione

This is "shunt coil" in English - as opposed to a trip coil. A shunt coil is energized all the time - when it is de-energized, it opens the switch. A trip coil is de-energized all the time - when it is energized, it opens (trips) the switch.
Also "interruttore automatico" is "Circuit Breaker".
