Its regarding packaging of different types of components, and this one is given under operation of circuit breaker at reduced pressure under heading"Annex"

Context Yes, but that's only local detail; what we really need to know here is what the overall text is talking about, as JG says, what type of circuit-breakers are involved, etc. etc. If you do not already have this information, you should ask your customer.

Here is more context:
FERMETURE
Mettre en marche le groupe ; la pression monte automatiquement vers 220 bars environ puis se coupe (réglage manostat).
Appuyer manuellement sur le levier de déclenchement se trouvant sur les bobines du BLOC OP.Le vérin est actionné.Le disjoncteur se ferme.

Tony M Dec 15, 2011:
bloc op. ...in the specific context of circuit-breakers usually refers to the 'block' or module that actually operates the switching action in modular devices.

As ever, more context would be very helpful here!
Johannes Gleim Dec 15, 2011:
Do we talk about MCB or RCCB (GFCI)? Miniature Circuit Breaker or Residual Current Circuit Breaker (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)?

bloc op = bloc opératoire if the breaker is located in a hospital or to be mounted in a hospital

actuator coil or bobbin

From the additional context I understand you have a compressor who runs up and is switched off by a manometer or pressure switch if the pression exceeds 220 bar. This working pressure is used for actuating a cylinder manually by means of the BLOC OP.
I think that BLOC OP stands for "bloc d'opération" or "bloc opératoire). Both can be interpreted as "bloc de commande" (control key or actuator).

The ciruit breaker is now marginal. It is surely no MCB or RCCB, but a MV or HV switchgear.
