The construction comprises a rotary handle with a first pivot axis, a locking latch with a second pivot axis, a fixed bottom ring, a locking pin movable with the locking latch between a first position in which the rotary handle can be turned in relation to the bottom ring and a second position in which the locking pin prevents turning of the rotary handle in relation to the bottom ring, a shaft adapter rotationally movable against a spring force in relation to the rotary handle. The shaft adapter comprises a protrusion having a locking member which locks the locking pin into the first position when the torsional moment acting on the rotary handle exceeds the spring force acting on the shaft adapter causing a limited rotational movement of the shaft adapter in relation to the rotary handle.

Rotary handle construction of an electrical switch

The construction includes a rotary handle turnable around a first pivot axis between an open- and a closed-position, a locking latch turnable around a second pivot axis between a locked position and a released position, a fixed bottom ring, a first locking pin movable in the longitudinal direction with the locking latch between a first position in which turning of the rotary handle is allowed and a second position in which turning of the rotary handle is allowed and a second position in which turning of the rotary handle is prevented. A second locking pin is movable between a first position in which turning of the locking latch between a locked-position and a released-position is allowed and a second position in which turning of the locking latch into the locked-position is prevented.

An electrical switch. The electrical switch comprises at least one fixed contact, a movable contact contacting the fixed contact, and at least one extinguishing apparatus positioned after the fixed contact in an opening direction of the movable contact. A permanent magnet is further positioned after the extinguishing apparatus in the opening direction of the movable contact.

Electrical switch

An electrical switch. The electrical switch includes at least one fixed contact and a movable contact contacting the fixed contact. At least one shutter element is arranged to move in synchronism with the movable contact. The shutter element is positioned in an extended position between the fixed contact and the movable contact and in a contracted position outside the patch of the movable contact allowing the movable contact to turn from the open position to the closed position.

Switch

A rotary switch assembly, including a rotary contact and a stationary contact, and a rotary actuator for rotating the rotary contact such as to connect with and disconnect from the stationary contact. The rotary actuator includes a shield for shielding the rotary contact from a side that faces the stationary contact when the rotary contact and the stationary contacted are being disconnected from each other.

Electric switch assembly

A rotary switch housing (), comprising a bottom wall () for mounting of the switch housing () to a mounting base, and side walls () extending from the bottom wall (), the switch housing further comprising an arc chamber () for extinguishing an electric arc, and a gas exhaust channel () for exhausting gas developed in the arc chamber () out of the housing (). The gas exhaust channel () comprises a guiding portion (A), which is substantially parallel to a side wall () of the housing () for leading the gases to a direction away from the bottom wall () of the housing ().
