An exemplary medium or high voltage switch has a first set of contact elements and a second set of contact elements. Each contact element includes an insulating carrier carrying conducting elements. In the closed state of the switch, the conducting elements align to form one or more current paths between terminals of the switch along an axial direction. For opening the switch, the contact elements are mutually displaced by means of one or two drives along a direction perpendicular to the axial direction. The switching arrangement is arranged in a fluid-tight housing in a gas of elevated pressure or in a liquid. The switch has a high voltage withstand capability and fast switching times.

In a method and an apparatus for preventing external detection of the signal information in video signals occurring in, and being emitted from, video signal circuits in a display unit, or a similar unit, and including substantially consecutive frame or field signals, each constituted by substantially consecutive line signals, a phantom signal in the form of at least one pseudo-random bit signal sequence with properties similar to those of the video signals is emitted in addition to the video signals. A generator for generating the phantom signal is connected to an external power supply line to the unit containing the video signal circuits, for output of the phantom signal on this line. Using a control unit, the bit frequencies of the pseudo-random bit signal sequence/sequences are varied. Furthermore, the pseudo-random bit signal sequence/sequences are formed of a number of part signal sequences with a duration varying from one frame or field period to another.

In a method of preventing extraneous detection of signal information from raster scan signals in a plurality of consecutive line signals intended to form an image or partial images there is generated a random signal sequence, correlated with the information-carrying raster scan signals, but without information content, which is transmitted as protection for the raster scan signals. An apparatus for this purpose includes a generator (10, 12) adapted for generating a random signal sequence synchronous with the raster scan signals, and a switching element (5) adapted to transmit the random signal sequence round the equipment containing the raster scan signals that are to be protected.
