A system includes a mechanical switching device having a first moveable contact operatively connected to selectively contact a first static contact. A second moveable contact is operatively connected to selectively contact a second static contact that is electrically connected in parallel with the first static contact. The first and second moveable contacts are mechanically connected to each other to move between a closed circuit position and an open circuit position. The first moveable contact contacts the first static contact before the second moveable contact contacts the second static contact as the first and second moveable contacts move into the closed circuit position from the open circuit position. The first moveable contact disconnects from the first static contact after the second moveable contact disconnects from the second static contact as the first and second moveable contacts move from the closed circuit position into the open circuit position.

A circuit interrupter includes a handle, an operating linkage, and a spring that are situated on a housing, with the spring extending between the handle and the operating linkage. The circuit interrupter is movable among an ON position, an OFF position, and a TRIP position, and the operating linkage includes a contact arm that is pivotable with respect to the housing to move a movable contact between an OPEN position and a CLOSED position with respect to a stationary contact. The handle has a toggle point, and when the spring is situated at a first side of the toggle point, the spring biases the contact arm to the ON position. When the spring is situated at a second side of the toggle point, the spring biases the contact arm to the OFF position or the TRIP position.

A contactor module is adapted to detect a switching state of a contactor. The contactor module includes a movable element that is arranged to transmit the movement of a switching element of the contactor to the contactor module; and a deflection lever attached to the movable element. The deflection lever is arranged to indicate the switching state.

The utility model discloses an automatic balance apparatus with a double-moving-contact spring leaf in a socket, which may ensure that two moving contacts are in good contact with corresponding stationary contacts. The automatic balance apparatus includes a lifting slide block, where the lifting slide block is provided with a lifting base below the spring leaf, a balance warped plate corresponding to an arrangement direction of moving contacts is movably disposed in the lifting base, and upward protruding portions are respectively disposed on two sides of the top surface of the balance warped plate. The utility model is particularly applicable to various ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) and arc fault circuit interrupters (AFCIs).

A changeover switch for medium voltage switchgear is provided. The changeover switch includes a first terminal body, a second terminal body, and two elongate pole bodies. The two elongate pole bodies are arranged parallel to each other and rotatably arranged with first ends on opposite sides of, and in direct contact with the first terminal body around a rotation axis. The two elongate pole bodies are rotatable between an open position and a closed position. The second ends of the two elongate pole bodies are positioned in direct contact with opposite sides of the second terminal body. The changeover switch further includes one or more springs arranged between the two elongate pole bodies to urge the two elongate pole bodies towards each other.
