Abstract
The switching apparatus includes a stationary part (10) which is arranged in a switch cabinet and includes electrical power supply terminals (18) and electrical power distribution terminals (19). A moving housing body (20) accommodates a switch mechanism (27) and a disconnecting device for electrically connecting and disconnecting the housing body (20) from the stationary part (10). An additional device with an electrical auxiliary circuit is attached to the housing body (20) and is supplied with electrical power by wiring which is passed from the stationary part (10) to the housing body (20). The wiring includes mutually interacting plug connections (105, 107; 106, 108) which are positioned in the side walls (11) of the stationary part (10) and the side walls (A) of the housing body (20). The mutually interacting plug connections open when the housing body and stationary part are disconnected by the disconnecting device and close when the housing body and stationary part are connected by the disconnecting device. The switching apparatus can be accommodated in a switch cabinet in an extremely space saving manner.
