  • Patent number: 10984973
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure relate to an electric switching unit provided with an arc-blasting unit. In one embodiment, an electric switch can be provided. This electric switch can include an arc-blasting unit with a compression cylinder enclosing a compression chamber mobile together with the mobile contacts, and a stationary piston at an end of the compression chamber, provided with a support rod made up as a blowpipe which channels the gas compressed in the chamber when the contacts separate to a nozzle that directs the flow to a separation place of the contacts so as to efficiently blast electric arcs. The arrangement can be relatively lightweight and can occupy relatively little space.

  • Patent number: 9780539
    Abstract: The invention relates to a removable stabilizer for a spacer casing (24a-24f) of an electrical installation of the GIS type (20), the spacer casing (24a-24f) comprising a first opening (33) as well as a conductor (30b) provided with a bore (34), the removable stabilizer (29) comprising a plug (29a) configured to be introduced via the first opening (33) into the spacer casing (24a-24f), the plug being designed to penetrate into the bore (34) of the conductor (30b) so as to block said conductor (30b) against moving in translation after said spacer casing (24a-24f) has been put to atmospheric pressure.
