  • Publication number: 20230368995
    Abstract: A switching apparatus including one or more electric poles. For each electric pole, the switching apparatus includes a first pole terminal, a second pole terminal, a ground terminal, and a plurality of fixed contacts spaced apart one from another. For each electric pole, the switching apparatus further includes a movable contact and a vacuum interrupter. The vacuum interrupter includes a fixed arc contact and a movable arc contact reversibly movable along a corresponding translation axis between a coupled position with the fixed arc contact and an uncoupled position from the fixed arc contact. For each electric pole, the switching apparatus further includes a motion transmission mechanism operatively coupled to a contact shaft coupled to the movable arc contact. The motion transmission mechanism is actuatable by the movable contact to cause a movement of said movable arc contact along said translation axis, when said movable contact moves about said rotation axis.

  • Patent number: 9251972
    Abstract: An electric switching device for an electric circuit, including at least one electric phase having at least one circuit breaking unit associated with a disconnector unit. The circuit breaker unit including a circuit breaker movable contact configured to be actuated between a closed position and an open position with respect to a corresponding circuit breaker fixed contact. The disconnector unit includes at least one disconnector movable contact configured to be actuated between a connection position and a disconnection position with respect to a corresponding disconnector fixed contact. A casing that includes an insulating shell coupled to a metal shell. The casing houses at least the circuit breaker unit and the associated disconnector unit of said at least one electric phase.
