Abstract: An electrical cut-off device (1) with high electrodynamic resistance in which the fixed contacts (4) and the moving contact (5) are arranged according to an architecture forming a current loop so that the Laplace electromagnetic forces, called compensation forces (Fc), generated by the circulation of the current (I) in the current loop, are oriented in a direction flowing from the inside toward the outside of the current loop, and in which the actuator mechanism (6) is arranged for moving the moving contact (5) inside of the current loop, from its switched-off position to its switched-on position in a direction (Fd) that is identical to the direction of the compensation forces (Fc).

Abstract: An electrical apparatus for mounting on a frame that allows lateral connection as well as rear connection. The electrical apparatus (10) has connecting tabs (70, 70?) arranged for connection to the electrical terminals (80, 80?) of electrical apparatus (10) in such a way that they are removable and can be oriented in a lateral or rear position. The electrical terminals (80, 80?) have mounting zones (80a, 80?a) forming an angle ? equal to 45° with a rear wall (40) of the casing (20), and the connecting tabs (70, 70?) have connecting segments (70b, 70?b) forming an angle ? equal to 135° with the mounting segments (70a, 70?a). The casing (20) of the electrical apparatus (10) also has lateral openings (60, 60?) and rear openings (61, 61?) for the passage of connecting tabs (70, 70?) wherein the lateral (60, 60?) and rear (61, 61?) openings are closed by a cover (21).
