The present invention is an industrial switching device which prevents a false indication of an open electrical circuit when contacts within the switching device are welded shut. Under normal operation, an actuator is selectively moved between a first position and a second position to reciprocally move a plunger to open and close the contacts. The actuator includes an indicator of whether the switching device is in the “ON” or “OFF” state. When the contacts are welded shut, a plunger engagement section interlocks with an actuator engagement section to prevent the actuator from moving from the “ON” position to the “OFF” position. A crossbar on the plunger engagement section embeds in the actuator engagement section to prevent the actuator from sliding over the plunger. A side member on the plunger engagement section prevents the actuator from sliding around the plunger.

The construction comprises a rotary handle with a first pivot axis, a locking latch with a second pivot axis, a fixed bottom ring, a locking pin movable with the locking latch between a first position in which the rotary handle can be turned in relation to the bottom ring and a second position in which the locking pin prevents turning of the rotary handle in relation to the bottom ring, a shaft adapter rotationally movable against a spring force in relation to the rotary handle. The shaft adapter comprises a protrusion having a locking member which locks the locking pin into the first position when the torsional moment acting on the rotary handle exceeds the spring force acting on the shaft adapter causing a limited rotational movement of the shaft adapter in relation to the rotary handle.

An electronic switching device includes a housing with at least one housing door, a lockable rotary handle rotatable at least between an ON position and an OFF position, a handle locking device for locking the rotary handle at least in the OFF position when engaged, and a POFF device for preventing the rotary handle to be rotated and/or fixed in OFF position when activated. The electronic switching device further includes a locking coulisse, movably arranged at the electronic switching device and arrangeable in at least a first position, a second position and a third positions with respect to the housing of the electronic switching device. The locking coulisse is configured for allowing an engagement of the handle locking device and the POFF device in the first position, locking the housing door in the second position and blocking the activation of the handle locking device in the third position.

An accumulator control system for one or more electrical breaker poles includes an accumulator mechanism presenting a control handle movable at least between breaking and closing positions; a first link connected to the outer carriage and pivoting about a first pivot point between first and second positions, by actuating the control handle of the accumulator mechanism between the breaking and closing positions; a second link pivotable about a pivot axis and connected to the first link by a sliding connection so that the movement of the first link, between the second and first positions, causes the second link to pivot about the pivot axis between a position for closing one or more breaker poles, and a position for opening one or more breaker poles. The control system is further configured to exert an additional pivoting force on the second link when the control handle is actuated beyond the breaking position.

The present application relates to a rotation shaft structure, a transmission system, an operation mechanism, and a switching device assembly. The rotation shaft structure includes a rotation shaft, being capable of rotating between a first rotation position and a second rotation position, and further configured to be capable of translating between a first translation position and a second translation position in a direction along a rotation axis of the rotation shaft; a blocking assembly, being capable of switching between a first posture and a second posture; and a cooperative blocking member, when the blocking assembly is in the first posture, the cooperative blocking member is out of a translation path of the rotation shaft from the first translation position to the second translation position, when the blocking assembly is in the second posture, the cooperative blocking member is in the translation path.
