Abstract
One embodiment describes a three-phase electromechanical switching device, which includes three single-phase switching devices mechanically and electrically coupled in parallel with one another. Each of the single-phase switching devices includes a direct current electromagnetic operator that receives a direct current control signal from control circuitry, in which the direct current control signal instructs the single phase switching device to open or close a single current carrying path in the single phase switching device at a desired time; stationary contacts disposed in a device housing; and a movable assembly that is displaced by energizing or de-energizing the electromagnetic operator, in which the movable assembly includes movable contacts that, with the stationary contacts, open and close the single current carrying path.
