Abstract
A medium or high voltage switch including a moveable contact element and a stationary contact element is described. Therein, a moveable-contact guiding portion of the moveable contact element and a stationary-contact guiding portion of the stationary contact element are shaped for establishing a spherical-bearing-type mechanical connection between each other, thereby aligning a center of the moveable-contact guiding portion with a center of the stationary-contact guiding portion while allowing an angular flexion between the moveable and stationary contact elements. Furthermore, at least one of the stationary-contact guiding portion and the moveable-contact guiding portion is electrically insulating.
