Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical switching device including a nominal contact arrangement, an arcing contact arrangement defining an arcing volume in which an arc-quenching medium is present, an exhaust system including a first exhaust opening connected fluidly to a tank volume, an exhaust channel for dissipating hot medium from the arcing volume into the tank volume, the exhaust system further including a piston arranged in a compression guide and defining on its side opposed to the arcing volume together with the compression guide a compression chamber. An inlet channel is fluidly connected to the compression chamber and extends to an inlet opening fluidly connected to the tank volume, wherein the inlet channel and the exhaust channel are fluidly separated from each other.

Abstract: A fast earthing switch device for HV applications which includes a gas-tight casing, a movable contact connectable to and unconnectable from a fixed contact. The movable contact is linearly movable between an open position and a closed position. The device further includes an operating mechanism for the movable contact and is characterized in that the operating mechanism includes an actuating spring actuating a closing operation of the movable contact from the open position to the closed position, at least a driving lever mounted on an operating shaft actuating an opening operation of the movable contact from the closed position to the open position, the driving lever also partially reloading the actuating spring during the opening operation, the operating mechanism further includes coupling means operatively coupling the driving lever to the movable contact.

Abstract: A fast earthing switch device for HV applications which includes a gas-tight casing, a movable contact connectable to and unconnectable from a fixed contact. The movable contact is linearly movable between an open position in which it is spaced apart from the fixed contact and a closed position in which it is connected to the fixed contact and vice versa. The device further includes an operating mechanism for the movable contact and is characterized in that the operating mechanism includes an actuating spring actuating a closing operation of the movable contact from the open position to the closed position, at least a driving lever mounted on an operating shaft actuating an opening operation of the movable contact from the closed position to the open position, the driving lever also partially reloading the actuating spring during the opening operation, the operating mechanism further includes coupling means operatively coupling the driving lever to the movable contact.

Abstract: An actuating device for an electric switchgear of the type having one or more bushings connected to a casing. The actuating device can include a gear mechanism which is suitable to be mounted at and outside the zone where a bushing is connected to the casing, and which includes a plurality of gears operatively interconnected to each other and arranged to move a bushing between a first service position and a second transport position wherein it is lowered towards the casing from the first service position. A connection can be arranged to keep the bushing operatively coupled to the casing while moving it between the first and second positions.
