Abstract: A circuit breaker includes upper and lower terminals, a switching element, an insulation housing, a heat collector, and a heatsink. The upper terminal is connected to a fixed contact of the switching element. The lower terminal is connected to a moveable contact of the switching element. The insulation housing at least partially surrounds the upper and lower terminals, and the switching element. The heat collector is partially embedded within the insulation housing. The heat collector is separated from the upper and lower terminals, and the switching element. A surface of the heat collector facing outwards from the circuit breaker is uncovered and connects to the heatsink.

Abstract: A medium voltage circuit breaker includes: vacuum interrupters; and a drive, the drive being provided with a magnetic actuator with a yoke, and an anchor. At least the yoke or the anchor includes a movable part, the movable part of the drive being coupled to a movable part of a switch, and the yoke being provided with an actuation coil. The actuation coil can be driven actively by activation with electrical energy. The yoke is provided with at least one passive coil, which is coupled with the actuation coil only inductively, and with at least one permanent magnet, arranged inside or at the yoke, by which magnetic flux will be further concentrated and/or enhanced towards an airgap to the anchor.

Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a medium voltage switchgear with interlocking device associated with an actuator drive, which operates a switching element via a mechanical coupling element. The switching drive is movable in two end positions until which the interlocking is active between a freely selectable middle position and a specified end position. In order to keep the interlocking active over a certain range of the actuator travel, the mechanical coupling element includes a force flux element that is rotatable during operation of the drive from OFF to ON. In this way, the region where the interlocking shifts from unlocked to locked can freely be chosen by the shape of the force flux element.

Abstract: A vacuum circuit breaker for the use in high pressure environments, has at least one vacuum interrupter with at least one moving contact and at least one fixed contact inside the vacuum interrupter, and external contact points at the vacuum interrupter. The vacuum circuit breaker can be used under the high-pressure environmental conditions through the use of at least one vacuum interrupter arranged in a pressure tight container, wherein the electrical contacting is realized via a high voltage bushings through the container wall, and the pressure tight container is at least partially filled with insulating oil.

Abstract: A circuit-breaker is provided for switching medium-voltage to high-voltage circuits. The circuit breaker includes a pole part having a cup-shaped housing made of insulating material for accommodating an interrupter insert operated by a drive rod. The cup-shaped housing is divided into an upper housing part in which the interrupter insert is arranged, and a lower housing part for accommodating a magnetic actuator. The drive rod of the interrupter insert is coaxially arranged to an armature of the magnetic actuator.
