20120086529 | DEVICE INTEGRATING BOTH THE DIGITAL SWITCH AND HAND SWITCH - A device integrating a digital switch and a hand switch, which includes one hand switch having a primary terminal being fixed at one side, and a secondary terminal and a third terminal being fixed at another side respectively, thereat, either the said secondary terminal or said third terminal is able to be connected with the said primary terminal via specifiable switching operations; one automatic switch having a fourth terminal being fixed at one side, and a fifth terminal and a sixth terminal being fixed at another side respectively, whereat, either the said fifth terminal or said sixth terminal is able to be connected with the said fourth terminal via specifiable switching operations; and wherein, upon the occurrence of a malfunction in the automatic switch, the device is allowable to turn on or off manually. | 04-12-2012 |
20120256711 | SWITCH HAVING TWO SETS OF CONTACT ELEMENTS AND TWO DRIVES - An exemplary medium or high voltage switch has a first set of contact elements and a second set of contact elements. Each contact element includes an insulating carrier carrying conducting elements. In the closed current-carrying state of the switch, the conducting elements align to form one or more current paths between terminals of the switch along an axial direction. For opening the switch, the contact elements are mutually displaced by through two drives along a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The switching arrangement is arranged in a fluid-tight housing in a gas of elevated pressure or in a liquid. The switch has a high voltage withstand capability and fast switching times. | 10-11-2012 |

20150102875 | SWITCH FOR PROTECTION OF ELECTRIC CIRCUIT AGAINST OVERLOADING - The disclosure refers to a switch which is suitable to protect an electric circuit against overloading. The switch generally consists of a triggering assembly as well as of an interrupting assembly, wherein said triggering assembly comprises and induction unit, a thermic interrupter and an actuating needle. The induction unit comprises a coil with a yoke intended to displace the actuating needle towards the triggering assembly, when the short circuit occurs. Said thermic interrupter comprises a bimetallic membrane, which is mechanically interconnected with the actuating needle and is in the case of excess current and generating of heat displaced towards the interrupting assembly. In order to provide such switch, which could moreover enable protection against transient voltage, e.g. due to thunder bolt, such switch is furnished with a varistor, which is located within the triggering assembly in a heat-conductive relationship with said thermic interrupter. | 04-16-2015 |
