Abstract:
A gas-insulated type circuit breaker (1) comprises a housing (4) defining a gas volume for a dielectric insulation gas; a first arcing contact member (10) and a second arcing contact member (20), wherein the first arcing contact member (10) and the second arcing contact member (20) are movable relative to each other along an axis (2); a first nominal contact member (40) and a second nominal contact member (60), wherein the first nominal contact member (40) and the second nominal contact member (60) are movable relative to each other along the axis (2); and a first nominal contact shielding arrangement (50) comprising an inner shield member (52) and an outer shield member (54), wherein the inner shield member (52) and the outer shield member (54) are arranged coaxially about the axis (2). The first nominal contact member (40) is arranged co-axially between the inner shield member (52) and the outer shield member (54), and is movable relative to the inner shield member (52) and to the outer shield member (54).
Abstract:
The electrical switching device (1) has a longitudinal axis (z) and comprises at least one contact arrangement (4a, 4b), wherein the contact arrangement (4a, 4b) comprises a first contact (4a, 3a) and a mating second contact (4b, 3b), wherein the first contact comprises at least one contact finger (4a, 3a), wherein for closing and opening the electric switching device (1) at least one of the first contact and the mating second contact (3a, 3b; 4a, 4b) is movable parallel to the longitudinal axis (z) and cooperates with the other contact (3b, 3a; 4b, 4a), characterized in that the electrical switching device further comprises a deflector (6; 7a; 11, 14) elastically deflecting the at least one contact finger (3a, 4a) in a radial direction away from the axis (z) prior to or while closing the electrical switching device ( 1 ).
