Abstract: A switch-fuse module and a ring main unit. The switch-fuse module includes: a housing having therein a switch enclosure including an insulating gas and a cable compartment that is different and separate from the switch enclosure; at least one switch disconnector arranged within the switch enclosure; and at least one fuse canister with a vertically oriented longitudinal axis; wherein the fuse canister i) is adapted to receive a fuse, and ii) is arranged within the cable compartment, and the insulating gas has a global warming potential less than a global warming potential of SF6.

Abstract: A knife switch device for use in a switchgear or a ring main unit, the knife switch device including a stationary contact member, and a movable contact member, the movable contact member being rotatable about a main revolute joint for selectively opening and closing the knife switch device, the movable contact member including at least a first segment and a second segment, the first segment and the second segment being coupled by an auxiliary revolute joint, wherein the main revolute joint is arranged on the second segment, and wherein a rotation axis of the main revolute joint is substantially parallel to a rotation axis of the auxiliary revolute joint.

Abstract: An apparatus, such as a metering panel, for electric power distribution. An enclosure having an access opening defining an interior space, at least two electrical components for separate phases of electricity. The two components located within the enclosure and spaced laterally apart, at least one electrically insulating barrier panel, movable between at least two guided positions, a working position within the enclosure and between the components and an access position displaced from the components.
