Abstract: A thermal relay is disclosed which can be remotely re-set and/or tripped by means of remote control electromagnets.The case of the relay has second fixing means adapted to receive first fixing means belonging to one and the same electromagnet can in which an extension of the core or plate is orientable so as to come opposite each of the re-setting and testing pushers placed on the front face of the relay.

Abstract: A protected electric switching apparatus is provided and its fixing device, comprising a contactor with a latch for engaging a profiled rail and with which a removable thermal relay is associated by means of conducting pins. A channel is formed between two opposite walls so as to allow a screwdriver to have access to an eye of this latch.

Abstract: A symmetric percussion switching device is provided using a bistable dead point over-run device including an actuator movable between at least two positions and a control member whose movement causes rocking of the actuator from one to other of the two positions, after passing through the dead point, said device further comprising two switches whose actuating members cooperate with the actuator, respectively in the fractions of the stroke thereof adjacent said positions, said switches then being actuated by percussion so that the drawbacks of the conventional switching devices of this kind are avoided in which the pressure of the mobile contact on the fixed contact is substantially zero in the vicinity of the dead point changeover.
