Abstract: A device for switching a handle of an electrical switch has at least a first actuator and a second actuator. When the device is installed on the electrical switch, the first actuator can move the handle in a first direction and the second actuator can move the handle in a second direction opposite the first direction. The first actuator and the second actuator are shape-memory alloy actuators.

Abstract: In a rocker arm of an electric switch, the electric switch is actuated by the rocker arm for setting definable positions. The rocker arm of an embodiment includes a first part, for setting the definable positions, and a second part, movable between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the second part, the first part can be moved into the definable positions; and in the second position of the second part, the movement of the first part is blocked.

Abstract: An adapter for installing at least one accessory part into an electrical switch. The accessory part has at least one interface and the electrical switch has a housing and at least one actuation element. The adapter has at least one deflection gear mechanism, which, when the adapter is installed in the housing of the electrical switch, is arranged in an operatively connecting manner between the at least one interface of the accessory part and the at least one actuation element of the electrical switch.

Abstract: An exhaust gas module for an electrical switch, which has outlets for switching gases on its output side and/or its input side. The exhaust gas module can be mounted on the electrical switch, such that the switching gases are directed into an exhaust gas channel of the exhaust gas module. The exhaust gas channel deflects the switching gases substantially at a right angle and the exhaust gas channel can cooperate in a modular manner with a neighboring exhaust gas channel of a neighboring exhaust gas module in order to bring together the deflected exhaust gases.

Abstract: A mounting adapter is provided for at least one electrical switch having outlets for switching gases on an output side and/or an input side thereof. The at least one electrical switch can be mounted from the upper side of the mounting adapter and the mounting adapter can be securely mounted in a switch cabinet. The switching gases of an electrical switch mounted in the mounting adapter are guided from the output side and/or the input side in exhaust gas channels to a respective side/underside of the mounting adapter and can exit the mounting adapter from there. A switch cabinet includes the mounting adapter.

Abstract: An electric switch includes a thermal tripping unit which, when a thermal budget acting on it is exceeded, trips and switches off the electric switch. In an embodiment, the tripping unit includes an adjustment module which, as a function of an accessory connected to the electric switch, uses an actuating element to set a tripping element of the thermal tripping unit such that the heat effect of the accessory is compensated for in the event of tripping.

Abstract: A cable routing box for fitting to an electrical switch is disclosed, wherein, with the cable routing box fitted, a cable is connected to the electrical switch in a first plane and is routed through the cable routing box. The cable routing box includes a guide for the cable in the cable routing box. The cable exits the cable routing box in a second plane, which differs from the first plane.

Abstract: A lock insert for a cylinder lock is disclosed for locking an electric switch, including a main part with an opening for receiving the cylinder lock. In an embodiment, the inner wall of the opening is designed to at least partially contact an outer wall of the cylinder lock, and in the inner wall at least one slot is formed to allow freedom of radial movement of locking elements in the cylinder lock, the positions of which correspond to a locked position of the cylinder lock.

Abstract: A mounting plate is disclosed for supporting a circuit breaker accessory part. In an embodiment, the mounting plate includes a holding device, configured to hold the mounting plate on a wall of a housing of a circuit breaker and a fastening device, configured to fasten the circuit breaker accessory part to the mounting plate.

Abstract: A switching device is disclosed, in particular an electrical circuit breaker, including a housing and a switching unit disposed inside the housing. In at least one embodiment, the housing includes an openable housing cover with a switching opening through which a control lever head, which can be moved between an on-position and an off-position, of a control lever for switching the switching unit projects. The switching opening includes an opening contour and the control lever head includes an outer contour, which are aligned with one another such that the control lever head in the on-position prevents any movement of the housing cover via the control lever head, and in the off-position permits a movement of the housing cover via the control lever head.
