A high-voltage relay includes a magnetic drive assembly having a first yoke and a second yoke spaced apart from one another, and an armature driven by the magnetic drive assembly. The armature is a rocker having a first arm and a second arm extending away from the first yoke. The armature can be tilted between an open position and a switching position and is mounted on the first yoke. The first arm has a switching contact assembly. A magnetic circuit including the first yoke and the second yoke is closed in the switching position by the second arm.

A switching contact assembly for an electrical switching element includes a contact bridge, a base, and a spring assembly. The contact bridge is attached to the base with the spring assembly between the contact bridge and the base. The contact bridge attached to the base is resilient in a direction opposite a switching direction.

A switching assembly comprises a pair of fixed contacts, and a contact bridge movable between a bridging position in which the contact bridge electrically connects the contacts and a separated position in which the contacts are electrically separated. A detector of the assembly includes at least one sensor for detecting the presence of the contact bridge in at least one of the separated position or the bridging position, and a controller operatively connected to the sensor and having a first switching point and a second switching point. One of the switching points is associated with a position of the contact bridge between the bridging position and the separated position.

The invention relates to a line protection switch () for protecting an electrical load circuit from an over-current which exceeds a permissible load current. In order to provide a structurally simple, compact and rapidly actuating line protection switch, it is provided with a switching member () which can be moved from an operating position into a protection position. Contact elements (A,C) of the line protection switch () which can be connected to the load circuit are closed in the operating position and opened in the protection position. The line protection switch () according to the invention further has a retention member () which produces a magnetic retention field (MH) which is independent of the load current and by means of which the switching member () is retained in the operating position, and a counter-force member () which is independent of the load current and by means of which the switching member () is retained in the protection position. There is further provided an actuation member () which can be moved with the switching member () and through which load current flows in the operating position and which produces a magnetic actuation field (MA) which is dependent on the load current and which is superimposed on the magnetic retention field (MH).

The present invention relates to a method for producing an electric contact element from a semifinished product and to the electric contact element and the corresponding semifinished product. The method for producing an electric contact element (), which can be electrically contacted by a mating contact, comprises the following steps: producing a wire () from a first electrically conductive material (); coating the wire surface with a sheath () made of a second electrically conductive material; partially removing the sheath () in a direction along a longitudinal wire axis (); forming at least one cylindrical semifinished product () by dividing the wire in a direction transverse to the longitudinal wire axis; fixing the semifinished product on a contact carrier () such that the second electrically conductive material is connected to the contact carrier; and reshaping the welded semifinished product so as to form the contact element (), wherein a contact area (), which is accessible for a mating contact, is formed by the first electrically conductive material.
