A movable contact of a rotary switch, including a pair of contact blades for making an electrical contact to a stationary contact receivable between the contact blades. The movable contact includes a traction member for providing a traction force between the contact blades, wherein the traction member is a unitary piece including two frame portions for framing the pair of contact blades, the traction member including a spring portion for pressing one of the contact blades against the other contact blade, wherein the spring portion is arranged between the two frame portions arranged at a distance from each other.

Switch-disconnector

A stationary contact for a rotary switch is provided. The stationary contact includes a connection portion for connecting to a conductor and a first portion being a contact portion for connecting the stationary contact to a rotary contact. The stationary contact also includes a second portion being a support portion for supporting the stationary contact to a switch body. The contact portion and support portion extend in the same angle from the connection portion. A method of mounting a rotary switch is also provided.

A rotation mechanism for a rotary switch and a method of operating a rotary switch are provided. The rotation mechanism includes a mechanism shaft for switching the switch between open and closed positions of the switch, a crank rotationally connected to the mechanism shaft, a spring connected to the crank, where the spring has a dead point between the open and closed positions of the switch, and a force transmission roll rotationally connected to the crank. The mechanism shaft, crank and force transmission roll have a common axis of rotation. There is a predetermined rotational free-play between the rotation of the mechanism shaft and the crank, and a predetermined rotational free-play between the rotation of the crank and the force transmission roll.

A roll for rotating a movable contact of a rotary switch, and a method of mounting a switch are provided. The roll includes a first slot going along the diameter of the roll and open from the top of the roll for receiving the movable contact for contacting with a stationary contact of the rotary switch, and a second slot arranged perpendicular to the first slot for receiving teeth of an upper roll to be mounted together with the roll.
