Patent number: 11908646Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 20, 2024Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SASInventors: Jean-Pierre Meley, Said Attak, Frédéric Toti-Buttin, Philippe Picot

Patent number: 11616347Abstract: An operating modes selector is for an earthing switch that includes power contacts and a motor for moving the power contacts. The selector includes a plurality of positions corresponding respectively to various operating modes of the earthing switch, and includes cams whose positions are defined by the selector position. The selector contains a first cam which pulls a first locking organ designed to mechanically block the motor of the earthing switch when the selector is in a position corresponding to a locked closed mode wherein the earthing switch is closed.Type: GrantFiled: October 30, 2017Date of Patent: March 28, 2023Assignee: Schneider Electric Industries SASInventors: Jean-Pierre Meley, Jerome Laye, Emmanuel Frangin
