Protection cutting apparatus provided with an arc breaking screen

The switch of the invention includes, for each pole, an insulating case having two lateral dividing walls one of which forms part of an open pole housing and the other belongs to a closure element of the case. Each pole includes a contact opening mechanism with which is associated a common transmission piece for coupling said pole with an adjacent pole. This piece is mounted for rotation in a bearing formed in the lateral dividing wall of the case. It has at one end a male coupling element and at a second end a female coupling element, these elements being of complementary shapes for allowing engagement of adjacent and coaxial coupling pieces by fitting together.

Protective switch with couplable poles

The apparatus of the invention comprises a case housing a fixed contact and a mobile contact carried by a pivoting lever, with resilient return to the closure position, a rocking lever adapted for acting on the pivoting lever in the opening direction in response to an electric fault and a manual control member connected to the pivoting lever. A single spring exerts on the pivoting lever a first torque in the closure direction and on a drive piece blockable by the rocking lever a force adapted to generate on the lever a second torque antagonistic to and greater than the first one. With the manual control member a third torque antagonistic to and greater than the first one is exerted on the pivoting lever.

Switching device with antiarcing screen

A high speed current maximum tripping device, comprising a fixed core and a mobile core with complementary shapes and disposed in the same plane while defining an air gap therebetween. The fixed and mobile cores are obtained by flat stamping and have complementary profiles of a generally curvilinear shape with sides whose slope with respect to the main axis of the projecting core increases progressively from the nose towards the body.
