Abstract
A bypass switch provides a bypass path between a first terminal and a second terminal. The bypass switch includes: a first set of electrical contacts respectively connected to the first terminal and the second terminal; a second set of electrical contacts respectively connected to the first terminal and the second terminal; and a movable member. The movable member includes a first conductive section, a second conductive section and an insulator between the first conductive section and the second conductive section, wherein the movable member is movable from an initial state, via a first state, to a second state, wherein in the initial state the first set of electrical contacts are conductively separated and the second set of electrical contacts are conductively separated, in the first state the first set of electrical contacts are conductively connected via the first conductive section and the second set of electrical contacts are conductively separated, and in the second state the second set of electrical contacts are conductively connected via the second conductive section.
