  • Patent number: 11776768
    Abstract: An electrical switch including a neutral contact adjustment system adapted for adjusting a position of a neutral contact opening surface relative to at least one phase contact opening surface such that the neutral contact adjustment system has a first operating state which is adapted to provide a simultaneous break operation in which a movable neutral contact disconnects simultaneously with at least one movable phase contact during an opening event, and a second operating state which is adapted to provide a late-break operation in which the movable neutral contact disconnects later than the at least one movable phase contact during the opening event.

  • Publication number: 20220384121
    Abstract: An electrical switch including a frame, an operating shaft, and a bridge member movable in a depth direction relative to the frame by rotation of the operating shaft, wherein the depth direction is parallel with a rotation axis of the operating shaft, and wherein the operating shaft is adapted to exert a first opening force to the bridge member during an opening event. The electrical switch includes an anti-tilting member movable in a lateral direction relative to the frame by rotation of the operating shaft, the lateral direction being perpendicular to the depth direction, wherein the anti-tilting member is adapted to exert a second opening force to the bridge member during the opening event, the second opening force being parallel to the first opening force and spaced apart from it in the lateral direction.

  • Patent number: 10950395
    Abstract: A switching device including a frame, a roll element, a control shaft, a drive system and a roll spring. The control shaft is adapted to control rotation of the roll element such that rotating the control shaft from an ON-position to an OFF-position carries out an opening event in which the roll element transfers from a first position to a second position. The drive system includes an actuator and an actuator spring. The drive system is adapted to rotate the roll element during the opening event to an intermediate position located between the first position and the second position. The roll spring is connected between the frame and the roll element, and is adapted to rotate the roll element to the second position during the opening event.

  • Patent number: 10896789
    Abstract: An electrical switch. The electrical switch comprises at least one fixed contact, a movable contact contacting the fixed contact, and at least one extinguishing apparatus positioned after the fixed contact in an opening direction of the movable contact. A permanent magnet is further positioned after the extinguishing apparatus in the opening direction of the movable contact.

  • Patent number: 10804056
    Abstract: An electrical switch. The electrical switch includes at least one fixed contact and a movable contact contacting the fixed contact. At least one shutter element is arranged to move in synchronism with the movable contact. The shutter element is positioned in an extended position between the fixed contact and the movable contact and in a contracted position outside the patch of the movable contact allowing the movable contact to turn from the open position to the closed position.
