A system for collecting information related to an electrical switch. The system including a first switch, a second switch, and an external device. The external device is configured to receive the first and second signals corresponding to the first and second switches. Wherein the external device is located remotely from the first switch and the second switch.

An electrical switch includes a pivotally supported blade, a toggle mechanism, and an operating mechanism. The operating mechanism is drivable in a first direction to pivot the blade about a first axis and toward a closed blade position. When pivoting toward the closed blade position, the toggle mechanism inhibits the blade from pivoting about a second axis. Upon reaching the closed blade position, continued motion of the operating mechanism in the first direction causes the toggle mechanism to pivot the blade about the second axis toward a closed contact position. In the closed contact position, the blade contacts at least one blade contact to electrically connect the blade and a first electrical terminal.

An electric power distribution switch incorporates a stress-relieving connection structure, a closing guiding structure, a weather shield structure and a contact structure.

A switch including a blade, an electrical terminal, and a sensor. The blade is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The electrical terminal is configured to receive the blade when in the closed blade position. The sensor is coupled to the electrical terminal. The sensor is configured to sense a position of the blade and output a signal corresponding to the position.

A fast earthing switch device for HV applications which includes a gas-tight casing, a movable contact connectable to and unconnectable from a fixed contact. The movable contact is linearly movable between an open position in which it is spaced apart from the fixed contact and a closed position in which it is connected to the fixed contact and vice versa. The device further includes an operating mechanism for the movable contact and is characterized in that the operating mechanism includes an actuating spring actuating a closing operation of the movable contact from the open position to the closed position, at least a driving lever mounted on an operating shaft actuating an opening operation of the movable contact from the closed position to the open position, the driving lever also partially reloading the actuating spring during the opening operation, the operating mechanism further includes coupling means operatively coupling the driving lever to the movable contact.

A switch including a blade, an electrical terminal, and a sensor. The blade is pivotable between an open position and a closed position. The electrical terminal is configured to receive the blade when in the closed blade position. The sensor is coupled to the electrical terminal. The sensor is configured to sense a position of the blade and output a signal corresponding to the position.

An electrical switch includes a pivotally supported blade, a toggle mechanism, and an operating mechanism. The operating mechanism is drivable in a first direction to pivot the blade about a first axis and toward a closed blade position. When pivoting toward the closed blade position, the toggle mechanism inhibits the blade from pivoting about a second axis. Upon reaching the closed blade position, continued motion of the operating mechanism in the first direction causes the toggle mechanism to pivot the blade about the second axis toward a closed contact position. In the closed contact position, the blade contacts at least one blade contact to electrically connect the blade and a first electrical terminal.

A disconnector (100) and a method for manufacturing the disconnector (100) are disclosed. The disconnector (100) includes conductive arms (110) pivotally coupled with each other, and finger contacts (111). The finger contacts (111) have two opposite ends (115, 116) and an elastic portion (113) between the two opposite ends (115, 116), each of the finger contacts (111) being fixed to the respective conductive arm (110) by fasteners (112) at the two opposite ends (115, 116) such that the elastic portion (113) presses against the conductive arm (110). In response to the conductive arms (110) being pivoted toward each other and clamping an electrical contact (200) hanged at a bus-bar above the disconnector (100), the conductive arms (110) are electrically coupled with the electrical contact (200) via the respective finger contacts (111). The disconnector (100) according to the present disclosure provides outstanding contact performances while the material costs as well as manufacturing and assembly costs are relatively low.
