  • Patent number: 11456132
    Abstract: An electrical switching device is provided for interrupting an electrical connection. The device has a switching chamber and two contact pieces being arranged directly in the switching chamber or in an encapsulated housing arranged in the switching chamber and configured to be gas-tight in relation to the switching chamber. The contact pieces are movable relative to each other to bring about a switching action. A fluid insulation medium is also provided, which is arranged in the switching chamber or in a storage volume which can be connected to the switching chamber. The switching chamber or the storage volume has an outlet for letting out the fluid insulation medium. A filter is provided at or adjacent to the outlet, the filter configured to filter gaseous components of the insulation medium, or the reaction products thereof, conducted through the outlet.

  • Patent number: 9024220
    Abstract: A switching device assembly has an encapsulation housing. Movable active conductors are located inside the encapsulation housing. A drive unit with a gearbox is located outside of the encapsulation housing. The gearbox is part of a kinematic chain for moving an active conductor. The kinematic chain penetrates the encapsulation housing. In order to reverse the direction of a movement of the gearbox that can be transmitted, the gearbox is turned around a reversing axis and coupled into the kinematic chain.

  • Patent number: 8829371
    Abstract: A high-voltage arrangement has at least one switching device, housing and a drive for the switching device. The switching device has a transmission which can change the switch position of the switching device. In a first switch position, the switching device connects a first connection to a second connection and, in a second switch position, connects the first connection to a third connection, and the three connections are left unconnected in a third switch position. The drive is arranged in the housing on a center axis which runs through the housing center of the housing. The drive axis is at right angles to the center axis, and the movement path of one of the electrical contact elements lies on the center axis and parallel to it.

  • Patent number: 8803012
    Abstract: A high-voltage assembly contains a switching device. The switching device contains a gear having two coupling rods that can be pivoted in a predetermined pivot plane and that displace an electric contact element during pivoting, whereby the switching position of the switching device can be varied. In a first switching position, the switching device connects a first connection to a second connection, and in a second switching position, it connects the first connection to a third connection, and in a third switching position, the three connections remain unconnected. A drive axis of a drive is arranged perpendicular to a pivot plane of the coupling rods, and the coupling rods are mounted such that at least one of them can pivot through the drive axis region in which the drive axis of the drive penetrates the pivot plane of both coupling rods when adjusting the switching position of the switching device.
