In a hydraulic driving device for an electric pressurized-gas switch, the piston-cylinder systems are responsive to pressure from a hydropneumatic pressure accumulator. The driving device is equipped with a hydraulic pump which feeds several pressure accumulators and is controlled by pressure monitors, and with a gas monitoring device for the pressure monitors. For solving the problem of carrying out indirect gas monitoring while feeding several pressure accumulators by one hydraulic pump instead of direct gas monitoring, there is provided at least one threshold switch for measuring the feed pressure of the hydraulic pump as part of the gas monitoring device. By feeding the pressure accumulators which takes place sequentially in time and is controlled on the one hand by the gas monitoring device and by the pressure monitors on the other hand, it is possible to establish a correlation specific as to the pressure accumulator of the gas loss signal delivered by the threshold switch.

For protecting service personnel during maintenance work on a metal-encapsulated, compressed-gas-insulated high-voltage switching installation, a protective device is provided which is used if gas spaces with voltage-carrying conductor parts are bounded by unilaterally exposed bulkhead bushing insulators. Sensors of the protective device are arranged at the gas spaces and their signals are fed via an evaluating unit to a tripping unit for opening feed switches to cut off the voltage to the conductor elements in the gas spaces as well as for blocking the reclosing of these feed switches.

A shock absorber for the absorption of vibrations acting horizontally between foundation and base of an apparatus includes two shock absorbing components which are connected to each other through a pendulum. The free ends of the pendulum are linked in wobble-like fashion to respective ones of the shock absorbing components and at least one friction surface is disposed between the shock absorbing components for absorbing the vibrations and translating the same into heat.
