Abstract:
A latching mechanism (10) for activating a switch, a switch comprising a latching mechanism (10) described herein, and a method of unlatching a latching mechanism (10) are described. The latching mechanism (10) comprises a latch element (12), at least one linear actuator (11), and a first clamp element (13), wherein the latching mechanism (10) is configured to change between a latched state and an unlatched state. In the latched state the at least one linear actuator (11) is extended along a longitudinal axis (20) and presses the latch element (12) against the first clamp element (13) to thereby establish a frictional locking between the latch element (12) and the first clamp element (13). In the unlatched state the at least one linear actuator (11) is contracted along the longitudinal axis (20) thereby releasing the frictional locking between the latch element (12) and the first clamp element (13) to thereby allow a movement of the latch element (12) for activating the switch.
Abstract:
The invention is related to a wound transformer core (10, 66, 82) with at least one core loop (12, 14) made of magnetic material, comprising multiple thin amorphous band-like iron sheets (16) which are concentrically stacked around at least one center axis (18, 20). A lower yoke section (24), an upper yoke section (22) and at least two limb sections (26, 28, 30) are developed, comprising a modular plate-like support structure (40, 74, 76) which is glued upright to the center axis (18, 20) on both face sides (70, 72) of the lower yoke section (24) and on both face sides (70, 72) of each limb section (26, 28, 30) in that way, that neighboured iron sheets are glued together at their outer edge. The modular plate-like support structure (40, 74, 76) comprises for each face side (70, 72) of the belonging core sections (24, 26, 28, 30) at least two plate-like modules (42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 86, 88, 90), which are connected each to each other by a first (100) or second (110) plug-in connection..

Elongated through holes (52, 54, 78) are foreseen within the plate-like structure (40, 74, 76), which are arranged at least in part crosswise to the longitudinal extension of the stacked iron sheets.
Abstract:
A drive mechanism (10) for a switching device (50), a switching device (50) comprising the drive mechanism (10), a use of the drive mechanism (10) for operating a switching device (50), a method for operating the drive mechanism (10) for a switching device (50) and a method for operating a switching device (50) by operating the drive mechanism (10) are described. The drive mechanism (10) comprises an arcing chamber (11) having a first end and a second end, wherein a first arcing element (12) and a second arcing element (13) are arranged in the arcing chamber (11). The first arcing element (12) is movable along a longitudinal axis (30) of the arcing chamber (11). The first arcing element (12) and the second arcing element (13) have mutually opposing surfaces configured for carrying an arc therebetween, the arc causing the first arcing element (12) to move along the longitudinal axis (30) away from the second arcing element (13) and towards the first end of the arcing chamber (11).
