  • Patent number: 11908646
    Abstract: A device for switching a medium-voltage electrical circuit, including: a vacuum interrupter including a mobile electrode, an actuating lever linked to the mobile electrode and mobile between an opening position and a closing position, an insulator linked to the actuating lever, a control fitting secured to the mobile electrode, and an elastic return, for example, a spring, exerting a return force between the control fitting and the insulator, wherein a travel of displacement of the actuating lever is greater than the opening distance such that the control fitting is distanced from the insulator when the actuating lever is in the closing position. The switching device further including an indicator stem secured to the control fitting, which is configured to extend at least partly out of the insulator when the actuating lever is in the closing position.

  • Patent number: 9057742
    Abstract: The design of a functional measuring group for a medium-voltage substation has been optimized to make the product compact and robust in terms of internal arc, and also to favour complete accessibility to the measurement sensors. In particular, the voltage sensors are located in a vertical plane directly accessible via the front panel of the group, and the current sensors are located in the rear housing of the group, being directly accessible via the top of the group. In addition to being placed in an insulated compartment, the voltage sensors are insulated and shielded, and their connection terminals are designed for connection by cable with a flat interface.

  • Patent number: 8358188
    Abstract: An electronic module for a trip device has been optimised so as to integrate the known functionalities, in particular threshold parameter setting, current measurements, voltage taps, read-out display and communication. An electromagnetic actuator is further present in the electronic module to optimise breaking of the associated circuit breaker. The space occupation constraints inherent to location of the trip device in existing switchgear units have been respected.

  • Patent number: 6139347
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical fixing terminal for an electrical switchgear apparatus being disconnected by an axial withdrawal motion. In particular, an extractable circuit breaker, comprising a protruding part extending parallel to an axis of withdrawal and, defined by its external surface on the side where its free end is located a contact surface designed to cooperate with fixing jaws of a plug-in contact whose plug-in jaws are designed to cooperate by plug-in with an electrical plug-in terminal. The contact surface follows the outline of a cylinder sector of axis perpendicular to the axis of the protruding part, of opening angle greater than 180.degree. and is designed to form a pivot for rotation of the plug-in contact around the axis of the cylinder. An application is plug-in multipole circuit breakers.
