Abstract: A circuit breaker for use in medium voltage applications includes: a housing; a first contact arranged on an end of a first contact stem that extends fixedly through the housing; a second contact arranged on an end of a second contact stem that extends axially and is movable through the housing. The circuit breaker further includes a moving device for moving the second contact between a closed position in contact with the first contact and an open position spaced apart from the first contact. A mass of the second contact is less than a mass of the first contact. The moving device includes a closing mechanism for urging the second contact to the closed position and an opening mechanism for urging the second contact to the open position. The circuit breaker further includes a reconditioning power source and a controller for providing a reconditioning current.

Abstract: A voltage transformer includes: a body with primary windings and secondary windings coupled to each other by electromagnetic induction; a measuring device electrically connected to the secondary windings via a first fuse; and a relay having a coil and at least one pole with normally open contacts, the at least one pole being configured to be thrown by an energizing of the coil. The coil is arranged in series with the primary windings. The at least one pole with normally open contacts is arranged between the secondary windings via the first fuse in order to short circuit the first fuse when the at least one pole is thrown.

Abstract: A Rogowski coil includes: a multilayer printed circuit board having a plurality of layers forming at least an outer top circuit board surface, an outer bottom circuit board surface, an inner top circuit board surface, and an inner bottom circuit board surface; a first winding formed by a plurality of tracks arranged alternately on the outer top circuit board surface and the outer bottom circuit board surface, the plurality of tracks being electrically connected by vias extending from the outer top circuit board surface to the outer bottom circuit board surface; and a second, return winding enveloped by the first winding. The multilayer printed circuit board includes a central passage opening for passage of a current conducting conductor. Axes of the first and second winding are arranged concentric around the central passage opening. The first and second winding are electrically arranged in series.

Abstract: Three-phase system comprising a three-phase power source and a three-pole switch, through which the phase terminals of the three-phase power source can be connected to a load network. A reference time detector is present for determining a reference point in time. A drive control circuit is provided for controlling the poles of the switch. The poles of the three-pole switch are switched at controlled times at different intervals with respect to the reference time. The time of the contact touch of the first pole is after 185° plus the maximum anticipated pre-ignition time increased by n times 180° after the zero crossing of the voltage between the first and second pole.
