  • Latching and locking device inside a switch or a circuit breaker
    Patent number: 8581135
    Abstract: The embodiments of the switch described herein include latching and locking systems so as to retain the rod of a vacuum bottle in a determined, open or closed, position, the systems being driven and controlled by the same means that cause the movable portion of the vacuum bottle to move, or by the disconnector itself.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 25, 2010
    Date of Patent: November 12, 2013
    Assignee: Schneider Electric Energy France
    Inventors: Daniel Piccoz, Floriane Decq, Patrice Grosjean
  • Power line current interrupter having a vacuum switch chamber
    Patent number: 8227721
    Abstract: This interrupter device includes a parallel branch (4) in which a vacuum switch chamber is connected for breaking current. The branch is inactive in normal operation, with current flowing in it only when the disconnector (2) has started its opening movement, by progressive transfer of the current from the main power line (1) to the branch (4). Since the vacuum switch (6) is generally at rest, it no longer needs to be dimensioned to satisfy stringent electrical and dielectric requirements for normal operation.

  • LATCHING AND LOCKING DEVICE INSIDE A SWITCH OR A CIRCUIT BREAKER
    Publication number: 20120048692
    Abstract: The embodiments of the switch described herein include latching and locking systems (24) so as to retain the rod (13) of a vacuum bottle (10) in a determined, open or closed, position, the systems being driven and controlled by the same means that cause the movable portion of the vacuum bottle to move, or by the disconnector (4) itself.
