The present invention relates to a contactor device for high voltage applications, an energy storage system comprising the contactor device and a corresponding method for controlling the contactor device. A contactor device (100) comprises at least one fixed contact (106), at least one moveable contact (108), which is configured to move between an open position and a closed position, wherein in the closed position, the at least one moveable contact (108) electrically contacts the at least one fixed contact (106), and at least one first actuator (110, 120), which is configured to reversibly move the at least one moveable contact between the open position and the closed position. The contactor device (100) further comprises at least one second actuator (202) which is configured to move the at least one fixed contact (106) into a fired position, wherein in the fired position, the at least one fixed contact (106) is permanently disconnected from the at least one moveable contact (108).

A switch including a first electrical terminal, the first electrical terminal including a blade pivotable between an open position and a closed position, and a rod extending from the first electrical terminal parallel to the blade. The switch further includes a second electrical terminal configured to receive the blade when in the closed position, the second electrical terminal including a vacuum interrupter, wherein the vacuum interrupter engages the rod when in the closed position. Rotating the first electrical terminal in a first direction causes the blade to disengage from the second electrical terminal at a first point, and further rotating the first electrical terminal in the first direction causes the rod to disengage from the vacuum interrupter at a second point.

An electrical switch including a frame, a first stationary contact, a second stationary contact, a roll element and a movable contact mounted to the roll element. The roll element is rotatable around a rotation axis between a first position and a second position relative to the frame. The movable contact includes a first contact portion and a second contact portion. In the first position of the roll element, the movable contact electrically conductively connects the first stationary contact to the second stationary contact, and in the second position of the roll element the first stationary contact is electrically disconnected from the second stationary contact. The first in contact portion and the second contact portion are located on opposite sides of a centre plane perpendicular to the rotation axis.

A circuit interrupter includes a fixed terminal, a movable contactor, a moving mechanism, a squib, and accommodation. The fixed terminal includes a fixed contact. The movable contactor includes a movable contact connected to the fixed contact. The moving mechanism is configured to move the movable contactor from a closed position where the movable contact is connected to the fixed contact to an open position where the movable contact is separated from the fixed contact. The squib is configured to generate gas by combustion. The accommodation is for accommodating the fixed contact and the movable contactor. In the circuit interrupter, the gas is introduced into the accommodation.

An adapter with an insertion guide for connection between a porcelain tube and a branch tube is provided at an upper end portion of the branch tube. The adapter with the insertion guide includes an insertion guide portion extending in an axial direction of the branch tube. After inserting a lower end of a central conductor into an insertion portion of an arc-extinguishing chamber, a flange of the porcelain tube is inserted into the adapter with the insertion guide by guidance of the insertion guide portion. Accordingly, in a state where a bushing and the branch tube are self-aligned with each other, a lower end portion of the central conductor is inserted into the insertion portion.

A switching device arrangement has a first contact set and a second contact set. The first contact set includes a first electric arc contact element and a first nominal current contact element. The first nominal current contact element can be moved relative to the first electric arc contact element. A first transmission is introduced in a kinematic chain in order to generate a relative movement of the first nominal current contact element and the first electric arc contact element. The first transmission is operationally connected between a stationary counter bearing and the first electric arc contact piece.

A DC circuit breaker according to various embodiments may comprise: a first terminal unit connected to a power source; and a second terminal unit connected to the first terminal unit and connected to a load, wherein the first terminal unit includes at least a pair of first terminals connected to each other in parallel and connected to the power source, and the second terminal unit includes at least a pair of second terminals corresponding respectively to the first terminals and connected to each other in parallel so as to be connected to the load.

Disclosed are example embodiments of a switching terminal that can be rotated with minimal parts. The switching terminal can include: an inner portion configured to be securely or loosely attached to an external conductor element; and an outer portion configured to be rotatably affixed to the inner portion when then inner portion is loosely attached to the external conductor and to be tightly affixed to the inner portion when then inner portion is tightly attached to the external conductor.

A novel magnetic switch, comprising a housing, a terminal A and a terminal B, wherein an inner cavity of the housing is internally provided with a magnetic body and a tongue plate, one end of the tongue plate is movably connected to the upper end of the terminal B, the magnetic body, which is integrally linked to the tongue plate, is capable of being raised thereon; the other end of the tongue plate is disposed above the terminal A; the upper end of the terminal A is provided with an arc-removing apparatus, the arc-removing apparatus is provided with a stationary contact, and the other end of the tongue plate is provided with a movable contact. The magnetic switch has an effective structure, thus improving the work stability and prolonging the service life of the switch.

An electrical switch including a frame, a first stationary contact, a second stationary contact, a roll element and a movable contact mounted to the roll element. The roll element is rotatable around a rotation axis between a first position and a second position relative to the frame. The movable contact includes a first contact portion and a second contact portion. In the first position of the roll element, the movable contact electrically conductively connects the first stationary contact to the second stationary contact, and in the second position of the roll element the first stationary contact is electrically disconnected from the second stationary contact. The first in contact portion and the second contact portion are located on opposite sides of a centre plane perpendicular to the rotation axis.
