A switching device for LV electric installations is disclosed which can include an outer casing and one or more electric poles. Each electric pole can include one or more mobile contacts and one or more fixed contacts adapted to be coupled or uncoupled. A mobile contact assembly is operatively coupled with the mobile contacts such that the mobile contacts move together with the mobile contact assembly. The mobile contact assembly is adapted to reversibly move between a first contact position, in which the movable contacts and the fixed contacts are coupled and a second contact position, in which the movable contacts and the fixed contacts are uncoupled. A mechanical control assembly is provided for operating said mobile contact assembly.

Switching device for LV electric installations

The present application contemplates a switching device comprising: an outer casing defining an internal volume of the switching device; one or more electric poles, each electric pole comprising one or more mobile contacts and one or more contacts adapted to be coupled or uncoupled during a switching operation of the switching device; a contact shaft accommodated in the internal volume of the switching device and adapted to rotate about a rotation axis during a switching operation of the switching device, the contact shaft having a body comprising one or more contact seats to accommodate at least partially the mobile contacts, so that the mobile contacts rotate with the contact shaft about the rotation axis during a switching operation of the switching device; a control mechanism comprising a supporting frame fixed to the outer casing to provide support to movable members of the control mechanism and one or more connecting rods to provide a force to move the contact shaft during a switching operation of the switching device.

Switching device with a suspended mobile contact assembly

An assembly for a low voltage withdrawable switching device, comprising: a supporting frame into which/from which a switching unit of the withdrawable switching device can be inserted/withdrawn; a first connector placed at and protruding from a bottom portion of the supporting frame, which is adapted to be coupled with a second connector of the switching unit; and a shutter assembly. The shutter assembly comprises: an opening for allowing the coupling between the first and second connectors; a cover member which is adapted to be moved from a cover position to an open position so as to make the opening accessible for the coupling between the first and second connectors. The cover member is adapted to be moved from the cover position to the open position by the first connector. The shutter assembly is operatively mounted movable into the supporting frame. The shutter assembly is adapted to operatively interact with the switching unit under insertion into the supporting frame so as to be moved towards the bottom portion for causing the movement of the cover member from the cover to the open position by the first connector.

Assembly for a withdrawable switching device and related switching device

Described herein is a low-voltage circuit-breaker, which comprises at least one mobile contact and a corresponding fixed contact, and a positive-opening-operation device. The positive-opening-operation device in turn comprises: a moving element associated to the mobile contact; a first kinematic chain, operatively associated to said mobile contact and to an actuating device; and a second kinematic chain, associated to said moving element and to said first kinematic chain. A first lever is associated to the first kinematic chain and a second lever is associated to the second kinematic chain, said first and second levers interacting with one another during the opening operation and being equipped with blocking devices in the event of welding of the contacts together.

Low-voltage circuit-breaker and corresponding positive-opening-operation device

A low-voltage circuit breaker, comprising:

Low-voltage circuit breaker

A low-voltage circuit breaker, comprising: a rotating contact supporting shaft, is provided with a seat that accommodates the central body of a moving contact so that the first arm protrudes externally from the seat, at least one first spring and one second spring being furthermore arranged in the contact supporting shaft and being suitable to ensure, when the circuit breaker is closed, an adequate contact pressure between the active surface and the fixed contact; the particularity of the circuit breaker consisting of the fact that a first pivot is fixed to the contact supporting shaft and is coupled to a hole formed in the central body, engagement means and at least one second pivot being furthermore arranged on the shaft on mutually opposite sides with respect to the first pivot, the second pivot being movable with respect to the shaft and to the moving contact, the first and second springs being furthermore anchored to the second pivot and to the engagement means and being arranged along two opposite sides of the arm of the moving contact, the second pivot interacting functionally with the first cam-like surface so as to generate a mechanical moment that matches the direction of rotation of the moving contact during at least one portion of the step for separation of the active surface from the fixed contact in a short-circuit condition.

A faceplate for an electrical switchboard, a body which has a substantially quadrangular shape and is provided with an opening to accommodate at least part of an electrical and/or electronic device of the switchboard, said faceplate being suitable to be operatively couples to a window provided on a plate, characterized in that said body has connection means for coupling to the plate, at the edges of said window, in a movable and adjustable manner with respect to the plate itself.
