Abstract

A multiphase reactor-switching tap selector has a single geneva mechanism operating three shafts which traverse phase plates carrying all of the contacts and the vacuum switching cell and rapid release mechanism for each of the phases. The geneva mechanism operates the tap selection contacts directly through its shaft and is coupled to other shafts for operating the preseslector contacts, the bypass contacts and the vacuum switching cells. All three shafts traverse all of the phase plates.
