Disclosed embodiments relate to an electrically controlled switch for high current switching operations and with different configurations of fixed terminal contacts that includes a switch body, a couple of moving contacts, a guide that drives the couple of moving contacts up to an abutting position, a housing groove running perimetric in the switch body, and at least one contact bar for connecting each of the moving contact to a respective fixed terminal contact of the switch, wherein the contact bar is hosted within the housing groove and has a free end projecting from the switch body to form the fixed terminal contact through a corresponding aperture of the switch body located on a same lateral side or on opposite lateral sides, or on the base support, respectively.

Electrically controlled switch for high current switching operations with different configurations of fixed terminal contacts

A switch includes a switch body, for containing switch components, at least two terminal contacts, protruding from the switch body, at least one movable contact, which is movable from an operative position, wherein the movable contact is electrically coupled between the at least two terminal contacts, and a disconnecting position, wherein the movable contact is electrically uncoupled between the at least two terminal contacts. The switch also includes a moving mechanism including an electric motor and a support sliding element for the movable contact, driven by the moving mechanism and the electric motor, to move the movable contact between the operative condition and the disconnecting position.

Switch and changeover switch with compact structure

The present invention relates to a gripping group for a switch, changeover switch, disconnector or generally a power switch, said power switch being mounted inside an insulated switch body and comprising at least a movable contact providing an electrical connection, said gripping group being configured to grip said at least a movable contact of said power switch, wherein a modular structure comprising a plurality of caliper-like elements being parallelly mounted on a supporting frame and in turn including respective terminal finger elements being angularly movable one with respect to the other, mutually approaching and moving away in contrast with elastic returning means.
