  • Patent number: 11527373
    Abstract: An actuating mechanism for an electrical switching device includes a frame and a driving member. The driving member is rotatably arranged in the frame around an axis and is movable between a first driver position and a second driver position. The driving member is mechanically linkable to the electrical switching device by a first linking member. The movable contacts of the electrical switching device are in a first position in the first driver position of the driving member and are in a second position in the second driver position of the driving member. The actuating mechanism further includes an actuating member. The actuating member is rotatably arranged in the frame around an axis and is movable between a first actuator position and a second actuator position by hand or based on using a motor. The actuating mechanism further includes a load spring.

  • Patent number: 10651635
    Abstract: A panel for accommodating a draw-out device, such as a vacuum circuit breaker or metering device, includes: a housing with an access opening for accommodating a draw-out device and with primary plugs and secondary plugs connectable to the draw-out device; a traveling system arranged in the housing and for positioning the draw-out device within the housing in a connected position, a service position, and a disconnected position; a door arranged on the housing and movable between a closed position to close the access opening and an open position for provide access to the housing; a primary blocking element for blocking movement of the traveling system from the disconnected position to the service position with the door in the open position or between the open position and the closed position; and a secondary blocking element for blocking the door to move into the closed position with the draw-out device being disconnected.
