  • Patent number: 9659727
    Abstract: A switch capable of easily accomplishing current cutoff roles required for a high-voltage switch, and which has a short breaking time. The switch includes pressure housings filled with an insulative medium, a plurality of contactors each including a contact, a plurality of operation units actuating the contacts, an insulative spacer dividing the interiors of the pressure housings into the same number of internal spaces as the number of contacts, and an electrode passing completely through the insulative spacer and fastened to the insulative spacer. The contactor is provided one by one for each internal space, and all contacts are electrically connected in series via the electrode, and the operation units actuate the corresponding contacts, respectively.
