    Abstract: A ballast water treatment apparatus (100) and a ballast water treatment system (1) having a ballast water treatment apparatus (100) are provided. The ballast water treatment apparatus (100) includes a ballast water transport line (10) configured to transport ballast water between a first location (A) and a second location (B), the transported ballast water being passed through at least one injector (20), and a plasma generation device (30) configured to be fed with a feed gas comprising oxygen, and configured to generate a feed gas plasma (35) by a non-thermal discharge in a discharge area (36) to provide a treated gas at a treated-gas outlet (37). The injector (20) comprises a liquid passage (21) having an area (22) constructed such as to increase a velocity of the passed-through water in a region (26) of increased velocity, and an injector gas inlet (25) provided in the region (26) of increased velocity. The treated-gas outlet (37) is in gaseous connection with the injector gas inlet (25).

    Abstract: A switching apparatus for electric power distribution grids comprising:
    - one or more electric poles;
    - for each electric pole, at least a fixed contact and a movable contact. The movable contact is reversibly movable between a coupled position, at which said movable contact is coupled with said fixed contact, and an uncoupled position, at which said movable contact is separated from said fixed contact;
    - for each electric pole, an arc-breaking assembly comprising an arc-chute arrangement including a plurality of arc-breaking plates. Said arc-breaking plates are electrically disconnected from said fixed contact, said movable contact and other live parts of said electric pole, so that they normally are at a floating voltage potential.
    The arc breaking assembly comprises at least an electronic circuit including semiconductor switches, which has a first terminal electrically connected with at least an arc-breaking plate and a second terminal electrically connected with at least another arc-breaking plate.
