Abstract
A switchgear includes a movable part capable of reciprocating movement, a movable contact coupled to the movable part and capable of reciprocating movement relative to the movable part, a biasing member that biases the movable contact, a latch capable of switching between a first state in which movement of the movable contact in the first direction is restricted and a second state in which movement of the movable contact in the first direction is permitted, and a fixed contact provided on a side of the first direction with respect to the movable contact. When the movable part and the movable contact move in a first direction, after movement for a predetermined distance, the movement of the movable contact is restricted by the latch in the first state, and then, when the movable part has moved further in the first direction, the latch is switched to the second state.
