SWITCHING DEVICE, IN PARTICULAR LOAD INTERRUPTER

摘要

In order to develop a switching device (1), in particular a load interrupter for medium-voltage switchgear assemblies, comprising a main contact system (4) and a quenching contact system (5) connected in series to the main contact system (4), wherein the main contact system (4) and the quenching contact system (5) are arranged linearly one behind the other, said switching device having a simple and compact and thus low-cost design, it is proposed that a single drive is provided for introducing a driving motion into a single drive shaft of the switching device (1), wherein a single cam disk (14) for transmitting the driving motion has a main contact system curved path (16) for actuating the main contact system (4) and a quenching contact system curved path (15) for actuating the quenching contact system (5).
