De l’ensemble des composants des produits moyenne tension que vous exploitez, quels sont ceux qui se dégradent le plus rapidement ? (plusieurs réponses possibles)

les composants mécaniques (mécanisme de commande, …)

les organes électromécaniques (bobines de déclenchement,…)

les composants électroniques (relais, détecteurs de défaut, indicateur de présence de tension…)
To be honest, any light that could be shed on any of the above from Pro's in this field would be MUCH appreciated !

trip coil
Explanation:
I found trip coil in my database, meaning a smaller and less powerful coil with plunger, used for'tripping', can also be a mechanism that holds the circuit breaker in the'closed' position. Trip coils always operate by direct current.
Hope it helps, I've got no further information on this.
