The subject matter of the present invention is a fiber-optic outdoor high-voltage sensor 1. The known sensor principle is based on the fact that a piezoelectric quartz cylinder 3 wound with a glass fiber 4a effects a voltage-proportional fiber strain which is measured interferometrically. According to the invention, a 420 kV outdoor sensor 1 is created by virtue of the fact that several quartz cylinders 3 and electrically conductive spacing elements 5 are arranged in an alternating fashion one behind another and are sealed in a silicone-shielded 17 insulating tube 16 by means of polyurethane 18 or silicone 21. Dividing the high voltage between several spaced, E-field integrating sensor elements 2 permits simple field control and a very high measuring accuracy. In addition, the fiber-optic voltage sensor 1 is distinguished by a low outlay on insulation, compactness and low weight, and can easily be scaled to other voltage levels and be effectively combined with optical current sensors 38.

This switching device has a contact arrangement which is equipped with erosion-resistant contacts and comprises at least one contact which moves along a central axis (2) and at least one mating contact which is provided for receiving the moving contact. One of the two contacts has a finger cage (25) which is provided with individual, sprung contact fingers (13) which are spaced apart from one another by radial slots (26) extended in the direction of the central axis (2). Means are provided which prevent the side edges (29) of the contact fingers (13) being able to touch in the region of the contact surfaces (27) in the front part of the contact fingers (13) when said contact fingers (13) are drawn together in the direction of the central axis (2) , such that welding of the edges (29) of the contact fingers (13) cannot occur.

A disconnector for a metal encapsulated, gas insulated high voltage switchgear includes a housing with at least a first and a second axis which intersect at a first angle. The disconnector also includes two contact carriers that are arranged on the first axis and are positioned between to contact carriers at an isolating distance by securing elements. The first axis and the second axis each form an axis of symmetry of the housing. The housing has four openings which are provided with flanges and which have the same diameter and centers located on one of the first and second axes, and are arranged at the same distance from the intersection point of the first and second axes.
