  • Electrical switching device
    Patent number: 7986061
    Abstract: An electrical switching device has a first interrupter unit for interrupting and connecting an electrical line, in particular an air-insulated grounding switch. A method for switching an air-insulated grounding switch assures that no arc owing to a voltage flashover is produced on the air-insulated grounding switch. A second interrupter unit, which is connected in parallel with the first interrupter unit, can be switched such that resultant striking of an arc during switching only takes place in the second interrupter unit.

  • Method for storing individual data items of a low-voltage switch
    Patent number: 7899975
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for storing individual data items of a low-voltage switch provided with a microcontroller triggering unit. According to an embodiment, the ROM cells of a dead microcontroller ROM which are not occupied by a program code memory cells are occupied by the individual data items of the low-voltage switch.
