Patent number: 12033819Abstract: An electrical switchgear has a first switching contact piece and a second switching contact piece. The two switching contact pieces can be moved relative to one another by way of a kinematic chain. The kinematic chain has an axially movable drive element, which is guided in a guide element. A first pin is guided in a first gate and defines the trajectory of the drive element in the guide element.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2020Date of Patent: July 9, 2024Assignee: Siemens Energy Global GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Frank Ehrlich, Rico Rademacher, Ingolf Reiher

Patent number: 11509121Abstract: An electrical energy transmission device for the transmission of electrical energy has a fluid-holding chamber. An electrically insulating fluid is contained in the fluid-holding chamber. The electrically insulating fluid is, at least in part, air-drawn from the surroundings of the electrical energy transmission device. The insulating fluid is used for insulating phase conductors in order to avoid short circuit conditions.Type: GrantFiled: July 19, 2017Date of Patent: November 22, 2022Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Sascha Bauer, Bernhard Lutz, Frank Ehrlich

Patent number: 9899155Abstract: A switching arrangement includes an interrupter unit with a first and a second switching contact piece. A switching path can be formed between the two switching contact pieces under a relative movement of the same. At least one of the switching contact pieces is arranged within a hollow body. The switching contact piece is supported by a transversal crosspiece that crosses the hollow body. The transversal crosspiece is braced at opposite sections of the hollow body.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2014Date of Patent: February 20, 2018Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventor: Frank Ehrlich

Patent number: 9659729Abstract: An electrical switch includes a gas-insulated tube, a contact system in the tube having fixed and movable contacts, a contact operating element passed out of the tube and movable along an actuation direction for opening and closing the system, and a contact pressure spring movable along the direction, connected to the operating element and an external drive element and disposed in a stationary guide part. The guide part guides the operating element. If the drive element shifts along the direction toward the fixed contact, the spring, operating element and movable contact move toward the fixed contact, closing the system and compressing the spring providing contact pressure force. The spring is in a housing connected to the operating element and movable relative to the guide part. A guide element is attached outside the housing, bears against the guide part, guides the housing and guides the operating element along the direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: May 23, 2017Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Michael Bartz, Frank Ehrlich, Alexander Golub, Andre Matthaei, Caroline Orth, Rico Rademacher, Ingolf Reiher
