A disconnector device is provided for disconnecting an electrical circuit, wherein the electrical circuit is switched by a contactor between an open position and a closed position, the disconnector device using the contactor for disconnecting the electric circuit. The disconnector device locks the contactor in the open position, in which open position contacts of the contactor are in a first position disconnecting the electrical circuit. An arrangement including the disconnector device and a contactor is also provided.

This rotary control system for a device includes a rotary control member, rotationally mobile about a first fixed axis, between first and second positions, and a rotary control handle, intended to be secured in rotation with the rotary member about the first axis. It also includes a blocking device, that can be selectively moved, when the rotary member is in its first position, between a blocking configuration, in which it prevents the movement of the rotary member to its second position, and a release configuration, wherein the movement of the rotary member to its second position. This system further includes a locking plate, rotationally mobile about the first axis relative to the rotary member, when the rotary member is in its first position, between a locking position, in which a first orifice passing through the rotary member is superposed with a second orifice passing through the locking plate.

A rotary motion switching apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter and employs an attachment system in order to resist removal of the rotary motion switching apparatus from the circuit interrupter. The attachment system has three connectors that are engaged with an exterior surface of a housing of the circuit interrupter. The portions of the housing that are engaged by the three connectors are pre-existing portions of the exterior surface of the housing of the circuit interrupter.

A rotary motion switching apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter that is situated in a NEMA box or other box and employs an attachment system. An access port that is formed in a wall of the NEMA box or other box permits a shaft having a handle at an end thereof to be connected with the rotary motion switching apparatus. The rotary motion switching apparatus includes a universal joint on a rotational component that enables operation of the handle and shaft without binding on the wall of the NEMA or other box even if the access port in the box is offset from an axis of rotation of the rotational component.

A rotary motion switching apparatus is usable with a circuit interrupter and employs an attachment system having a pair of connectors that are received in a pair of openings formed in a housing of a circuit interrupter and that are affixed to the housing within the openings in order to resist removal of the rotary motion switching apparatus from the circuit interrupter. The openings are pre-existing in the housing of the circuit interrupter and are provided to enable access by tools with terminals of the circuit interrupter to which load wires and the like are connectable. The connectors thus secure the rotary motion switching apparatus to the circuit interrupter by using openings that are already formed in the circuit interrupter and thus the rotary motion switching apparatus is usable without requiring a modification to the housing or to the molds that are employed to form the housing.
