Abstract: A self-resetting current limiter includes: a first connecting contact for bringing the current limiter into contact with a first electrical conductor a second connecting contact for bringing the current limiter into contact with a second electrical conductor; a first movable contact member; and a second movable contact member, wherein the first and the second movable contact members are electrically interconnected in a first position of the first and the second movable contact member, such that a current path between the first and the second connecting contact is closed, and wherein the first and the second movable contact members are separated from one another in a second position of the first and the second movable contact member, such that the current path between the first and the second connecting contact is interrupted.

Abstract: An electric switching arrangement disposable in an arcing chamber, the electric switching arrangement including a busbar having a termination surface, a moving contact, a fixed contact carrier having a contact facing carrier, and a fixed contact disposed on the fixed contact carrier at a distance from the termination surface and coupled to the termination surface. The electric switching arrangement further including a ferromagnetic switch arc splitter non-positively disposed on the fixed contact carrier.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical switching arrangement which is arranged in a switching chamber, comprising at least one contact arrangement comprising a moving contact and a fixed contact, with the fixed contact being formed on a fixed contact mount (18) which is arranged at the end (13) of a busbar (10), and, furthermore, with a contact rest mount (20) and a switching arc guide apparatus (30), which is produced from ferromagnetic material, being formed on the fixed contact mount (18). It is proposed that the fixed contact mount (18) be formed with a holding opening (17) and that the switching arc guide apparatus (30) be in the form of an inlay element which can be mounted with a force fit in the holding opening (17) on the fixed contact mount (18).

Abstract: An electrodynamically tilting contact system for power circuit breakers includes an actuating shaft segment, a rotary contact bridge pivotally mounted therein and contact force springs that form components of a tilting snap-action mechanism, which holds the rotary contact bridge in a repulsed position after an electrodynamically effected repulsion of fixed contacts. Two rockers, while serving as an additional component of the tilting snap-action mechanism, are mounted on the rotary contact bridge in a manner that enables them to tilt. The contact force springs are supported between the actuating shaft segment and the rockers, whereby the spring longitudinal axes, the tilting axes of the rockers, and the rotational symmetry axis of the rotary contact bridge are located in the tilting point plane of the tilting snap-action mechanism.
