A connection apparatus for connecting electrical devices, in particular electric motors to an AC system, has a housing which has at least one housing portion. A plurality of first and second conductor terminals are arranged in the at least one housing portion. Each conductor terminal has at least one or two or more individual terminals and a configuration plug. The configuration plug electrically connects individual or a plurality of the first and/or second conductor terminals in at least two different positions in order to obtain at least two different circuit types. The configuration plug is rotatably or slidably guided in or on the housing or at least on the at least one housing portion. Due to this relative movement, plug can be rotated and/or displaced into at least two different positions, in order to provide the at least two different circuit types.

The invention relates to a switchgear having a turn and twist mechanism. The switchgear has a contact system for electrical current conduction and bus transfer switching. The contact system has a fixed contact assembly and a movable contact assembly. The turn and twist mechanism drives the movable contact assembly for engagement/disengagement of the movable contacts with the fixed contacts. The turn and twist mechanism comprises a cylindrical pipe and a driving assembly. The driving assembly comprises a driving base, a floating carrier and a driving pin arrangement, for driving the cylindrical pipe for the engagement/disengagement. The driving base drives the floating carrier for turning the cylindrical pipe about a first axis, and drives the driving pin arrangement for twisting the cylindrical pipe about a second axis.

A residual load circuit breaker (1) includes a rotary switch body (23), which includes a contact blade (24, 25, 26, 27), that is rotatable about an axis (A) and is arranged between a feed line connection (20) and a discharge line connection (21), and includes end-side contact surfaces (28, 29, 30, 31) protruding in a radial direction. The contact surfaces, in a closed rotary position (S1) of the rotary switch body (23), are in touching contact with the feed line connection (20) and with the discharge line connection (21). In an open rotary position (S2) of the rotary switch body (23), the contact surfaces are each spaced with respect to the feed line connection (20) and with the discharge line connection (21). The residual load isolating switch (1) is rotationally limited in one rotational direction for performing switching movements and can be actuated unidirectionally and cyclically.

An electric closer comprising a first connection lug, a second connection lug electrically insulated from the first connection lug, the first and second connection lugs each having at least one recess in a contact region disposed within a guide housing, an actuator for driving a contact element, the contact element being disposed in a guide housing between the actuator and the contact region of the connection lugs, and by the actuator from an open position, in which the connecting lugs are insulated from one another into a closed position, in which the connecting lugs are electrically connected to one another via the contact element, is displaceable, wherein in the closed position the contact element is accommodated in the recesses of the connecting lugs and wherein the contact element is guided in the displacement direction simultaneously in the respective recesses of the two connecting lugs during the displacement of the two connecting lugs.

A switch includes a base, a fixed contact member having fixed contact, and a movable contact member having a movable contact. The movable contact member moves in a first direction to bring the movable contact into contact with the fixed contact, and moves in a second direction opposite to the first direction to separate the movable contact from the fixed contact. The switch further includes a cover, an elastic body that energizes the movable contact member in the second direction, and an operation body configured to move the movable contact member sequentially to a first position, a second position, and a third position.

A disconnector that includes at least two modular contact boxes, each one having a box-like body coupled to a contiguous box-like body of a contiguous modular contact box. Each box-like body defines a seat that accommodates a moving contact and two peripheral seats, each of which accommodates a corresponding fixed contact that can be accessed from outside the modular contact box. The at least two box-like bodies include at least one first box-like body, in which at least the outward-facing surface has a first finish, and at least one second box-like body, in which at least the outward-facing surface has a second finish, the contacts of the first box-like body or bodies having one polarity and the fixed contacts of the second box-like body or bodies having an opposite polarity.

A rotary switch device includes a terminal base to which a center portion contact and a fixed contact are fixed, a rotation operation member which is operable to rotate around the center portion contact with respect to the terminal base, a plate-like movable contact member which includes a contact protrusion part and a contact surface and which is held in the rotation operation member so as to short-circuit between the center portion contact and the fixed contact at a conductive rotation position, and a compression coil spring of a barrel type.
