A system for short-circuiting or grounding low-voltage and/or medium-voltage installations. The system includes at least one fault detection unit for detecting an arc and at least one signal-processing unit for processing signals from the at least one fault detection unit. The signal-processing unit is or can be connected to the fault detection unit for signal transmission. The system further includes at least one control unit which is or can be connected to the signal-processing unit for signal transmission, an electrical energy storage device in or on the control unit, and at least one fast-switching switching element having a mechanical energy store.

The present disclosure discloses a liquid arc extinguish chamber for direct current breaking. The liquid arc extinguish chamber for direct current breaking includes a cavity, a fixed contact and a moving contact. A liquid medium is sealed in the cavity. The fixed contact is hermetically fixed in the cavity. One end of the fixed contact is fixed in the cavity, and the other end of the fixed contact is connected with an outlet terminal A1. The moving contact is movably sealed in the cavity. One end of the moving contact may adjacently abut against or be in contact with the fixed contact, and the other end of the moving contact is connected with an outlet terminal A2.

A controllable primary switch for isolating a transformer from a power grid or network. The controllable primary switch is mountable within and integral to the transformer and is electrically connected to high voltage feeder cables to allow the transformer to be disconnected from the power grid or network. The controllable primary switch includes one or more vacuum interrupters having first and second electrical switch contacts mounted inside the casing, an actuator for moving the second switch contact relative to the first switch contact in each of the one or more vacuum interrupters, and a handle connected to the actuator. The handle engages the actuator to move the second switch contact relative to the first switch contact.

A switch, in particular a grounding switch, is for quickly establishing a ground connection and for extinguishing an arc fault for a switching system. The grounding switch includes at least one fixed contact having a first cable feed, a moving contact, a contact guide having a second cable feed, and a mechanical energy store. In the opened state, an insulating distance between the fixed contact and the moving contact, is filled with insulation liquid, at least in part. The switch further includes a triggering device and a locking mechanism.
