Three-position disconnector switch

A three-position disconnector switch includes an earthing contact, a power out contact, a power in contact, and a piston. The power out contact comprises first and second parts connected by a leg portion. In a first position, the piston contacts the first part of the power out contact. In a second position, the piston contacts the first part of the power out contact and makes electrical contact with the second part. In a third position, the piston contacts the second part and makes electrical contact with the earthing contact. The piston is configured to move along an axis of the three-position disconnector switch to transition the three-position disconnector switch between the different switch positions.

POWER SUPPLY SYSTEM AND SWITCH UNIT

A power supply system includes a switch unit and an operating mechanism. The switch unit includes: an arc-extinguishing functional component, a fixed contact assembly, a moving contact, and a first magnet assembly. The arc-extinguishing functional component is located inside the arc-extinguishing functional component and can move relative to the fixed contact assembly. The operating mechanism controls the switch unit to be opened when receiving a switch-off signal, so that the moving contact is separated from the fixed contact assembly. An electric arc is formed between the moving contact and the fixed contact assembly in a separation process. Directions of at least some magnetic induction lines of the first magnet assembly intersect a current direction of the electric arc to drive the electric arc to move towards the arc-extinguishing functional component. The first magnet assembly includes a first magnet and a second magnet that are spaced apart.

Electrical Fuse Device, Method of Manufacturing a Fuse Device and a Method of Operating an Electrical Fuse Device
20230290595 · 2023-09-14 ·

A fuse device comprising a housing, at least two connection lugs, a connecting element between the connection lugs, and an actuator. The actuator moves the connecting element from a closed position, in which it connects the connection lugs, to an open position, in which it is disconnected from at least one of the connection tabs. A particularly well-conducting connection between the connection lugs and the connecting element, which can nevertheless be easily disconnected by the actuator, is achieved by the connecting element being interference-fitted between the connection lugs.
