  • Patent number: 8847095
    Abstract: A high voltage switching device includes a current interruption assembly having at least one vacuum chamber, a fixed contact assembly having a first fixed contact and a second fixed contact positioned inside the vacuum chamber, and first and second movable-contact assemblies including a first movable contact and a second movable contact, respectively. A single mechanism actuates the first and second movable-contact assemblies between a first position and second position. In the first position, the first and second movable contacts are electrically coupled with the first and second fixed contacts, respectively. And in the second position, the first and second moveable contacts are electrically separated the same. The first movable contact and the second movable contact move, along a reference axis, one towards the other or away from the other based on the actuating mechanism.

  • Patent number: 6608481
    Abstract: A pole of a high- and/or medium-voltage circuit breaker, including an insulating housing, at least one, interruption chamber which is positioned inside the insulating housing and contains at least a moving contact and at least a fixed contact. A device for measuring the electric current flowing through the pole, and a dielectric gas, the particularity of which is the fact that said device for measuring the electric current flowing through the pole includes an optical current sensor arranged within a volume of the pole that is occupied by the dielectric gas.
