A high-voltage switch configuration having a subdivision housing, which is supported on a frame by an insulating supporting housing, and having a switch which is fitted to this subdivision housing and has an insulator, a switching chamber surrounded by the insulator, and disconnectible contacts which are accommodated in the switching chamber. The switch can be switched via a switching linkage that can be operated by a drive and is arranged within the supporting housing and the subdivision housing. At least three switches are attached to the subdivision housing, and each switch has a separate associated switching linkage with a separate drive.

High voltage switch configuration

A circuit breaker has an interrupter unit, which is disposed within an encapsulating housing, and has a first contact piece and a second contact piece. The contact pieces can move in relation to one another and they are arranged axially opposite one another. The device further has a first current path section for supplying an electrical current to the first contact piece and a second current path section for supplying an electrical current to the second contact piece. The current path sections are part of the interrupter unit, and at least one of the current path sections has a connection contact and can move in relation to a stationary mating contact. The current path section can move by way of a drive device when the encapsulating housing is closed.
