A switchgear driving device has a rod coupled to a movable electrode; an operation piston connected to the rod; and an operation cylinder in which an operation piston slides. A main control valve controls the pressure of the hydraulic oil in the operation cylinder. A turning-on pressure accumulation piston slides inside a turning-on pressure accumulation chamber; and a turning-on pressure accumulation spring imparts a driving force to the turning-on pressure accumulation piston to pressurize the hydraulic oil within the turning-on pressure accumulation chamber. A turning-off pressure accumulation piston slides inside a turning-off pressure accumulation chamber. A turning-off pressure accumulation spring imparts a driving force to the turning-off pressure accumulation piston to pressurize the hydraulic oil in the turning-off pressure accumulation chamber. A spring case accommodates the turning-on pressure accumulation spring and the turning-off pressure accumulation spring, wherein the turning-off pressure accumulation spring is arranged inside the turning-on pressure accumulation spring.
