Embodiments may relate to a package substrate that includes a signal line and a ground line. The package substrate may further include a switch communicatively coupled with the ground line. The switch may have an open position where the switch is communicatively decoupled with the signal line, and a closed position where the switch is communicatively coupled with the signal line. Other embodiments may be described or claimed.

A switch in a package substrate of a microelectronic package is provided, the switch comprising: an actuator plate; a strike plate; and a connecting element mechanically coupling the actuator plate and the strike plate. The switch is configured to move within a cavity inside the package substrate between an open position and a closed position, a conductive material is coupled to the switch and to a ground via in the package substrate, and the conductive material is configured to move with the switch, such that the switch is conductively coupled to the ground via in the open position and the closed position.

An electrical apparatus includes: a first electrically conductive contact; and a switch. The switch includes: an electrically conductive moveable contact; a cam; an actuator connected to the electrically conductive moveable contact, the actuator including a cam region configured to interact with the cam. Rotation of the cam moves the actuator between one of two stable positions, the two stable positions including a first position and a second position. The switch also includes an elastic assembly coupled to the actuator, the elastic assembly configured to hold the actuator in either of the two stable positions. When the actuator is in the first position, the switch is closed and the electrically conductive moveable contact is connected to the first electrically conductive contact; and, when the actuator is in the second position, the switch is open and the electrically conductive moveable contact is separated from the first electrically conductive contact.

A fault state indication device for a circuit breaker includes: a contact group; and a transmission assembly and an indication assembly that are mounted inside a housing. The contact group implements a normally open contact group and a normally closed contact group. The transmission assembly acts on a contact support, different open and closed states of the contact group are realized via the contact support. The indication assembly indicates a fault state, the indication assembly is linked with the circuit breaker, and carries out a corresponding state indication in response to a fault.

The contact group implements a normally open contact group and a normally closed contact group. The transmission assembly acts on a contact support (107), different open and closed states of the contact group are realized via the contact support. The indication assembly indicates a fault state, the indication assembly is linked with the circuit breaker, and carries out a corresponding state indication in response to a fault. The fault state indication device for a circuit breaker has a simple and reliable structure, a manufacturing process which is easier to implement. The fault state indication device can not only indicate the state and type of a load line failure, but also judge an operation state of the circuit breaker via the contact group.

A fault current limiter arrangement for a low, medium and high voltage electricity grid, including a fault current limiter unit which is arranged in line with a circuit breaker unit including a fixed electrical contact which is connected to a lower electrical terminal and a movable electrical contact which is connected to an upper electrical terminal, in order to interrupt the current flow after the fault current limiter unit has limited the current flow in a detected fault event. The fault current limiter unit includes a movable electrical sliding contact part which is electrically arranged between the upper electrical terminal of the circuit breaker unit and the movable electrical contact of the circuit breaker unit, and which is movable between a short circuit position adjacent to the upper electrical terminal and a remote position far from the upper electrical terminal for providing a maximum electrical resistance for the current flow.
