Abstract: An electromagnetic drive for an electrical switch such as a circuit breaker, has at least one movable armature that can implement a lifting movement along a pushing direction for moving a movable switching contact of the switch. In a closed armature position, the armature closes a magnetic circuit through first and second magnetically conductive yoke parts. A permanent magnet produces a magnetic field for the magnetic circuit and a holding force for holding the armature in the closed position. A coil is disposed to generate a magnetic flux in the same or opposite direction as the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet. The electromagnetic drive can be readjusted after installation, where the first and second yoke parts are moved relative to one another by the permanent magnet into the adjusted state, whereupon they are fixed in position.

Abstract: A pressure switch comprises a housing having a cavity for conveying a pressurized fluid. The cavity extends from an inlet to an outlet and defines a flow path for the fluid. A pressure-transducing element is provided for measuring the fluid pressure. The pressure-transducing element is in fluid communication with the cavity and is at least partially disposed in the flow path between the inlet and the outlet. The pressure-transducing element has a cylindrical shape with a constant diameter and is partially disposed in a bore in the housing. The bore has a constant bore diameter. One end of the pressure-transducing element extends into the flow path.

Abstract: A modular cost-effective drive system for electrical switching devices of medium-voltage installations is specified. The drive system, by the addition or omission of individual components, can be used both as a three-position disconnector with a snap-action or storage drive function and as a two-position circuit breaker which can also be expanded by a brief interruption function.

Abstract: The invention relates to a linear magnetic drive consisting of an iron core and a coil. A yoke and a constant magnet are connected to a movable armature. When the armature is placed in a first terminal position, it is supported by magnetic forces produced by the constant magnet and the yoke which is used as a bridge in the iron bore.

Abstract: An insulating element for a medium-voltage switchgear has a terminal at the busbar end and an outgoing cable. A circuit-breaker is embedded in the insulating element. The insulating element supports a first contact point that is connected to the circuit-breaker and is used as a bearing point for a movable switching contact of a disconnector, and an additional contact point for the movable switching contact. A favorable structure for producing medium-voltage switchgears in general for primary and secondary power supply systems while reducing expenses, the additional contact point is also configured as a bearing point for the movable switching contact, the movable switching contact is alternatively mounted on the additional contact point rather than on the first contact point, and the additional contact point is alternatively connected to the outgoing cable rather than to the terminal at the busbar end.

Abstract: Disconnector contact drive devices for switchgear for power supply and distribution are described, in particular for air-insulated medium-voltage switchgear, having movable pole units. In where in a first movement sequence, the disconnector contacts are separated from fixed mating contacts of the switchgear. In a second movement sequence, the pole units are displaceable to achieve the isolating distance, and the disconnect contacts are moved to disconnect them by force components acting in the x/y directions. The disconnector contact drive devices are equipped with linear guide shafts. The pole units contain pole box frames which are linearly movable along the guide shafts from an ON position stop to an OFF position stop due to the forces acting on the toggles. The toggles each have four pivot bearings.
