  • Leading auxiliary switch for circuit breaker
    Patent number: 7750260
    Abstract: A leading auxiliary switch includes an auxiliary switch housing for attachment to a circuit breaker. An operating slide is provided having a sliding edge and being supported so as to be movable in a first sliding direction. A contact carrier is provided supported so as to be movable parallel to the first sliding direction. The contact carrier includes a sliding nose and is movable in a first operating phase of the operating slide against an action of a contact pressure spring into an ON position of movable contacts with fixed contacts. A drive slide is supported in the auxiliary switch housing so as to be movable in a second sliding direction transverse to the first sliding direction, the drive slide including first and second opposed sliding surfaces extending at an angle to the first and second sliding directions. The sliding edge of the operating slide abuts against the first sliding surface in the first operating phase and is out of contact with the first sliding surface in the second operating phase.
