METHOD OF MONITORING THE POSITION OF A MOVABLE PART OF AN ELECTRICAL SWITCH APPARATUS

摘要

A device for monitoring a position of a movable portion mounted on a casing of a switching electrical apparatus, the movable portion configured to adopt at least two determined positions. The device includes a permanent magnet and a reader including an antenna to interchange data without contact by electromagnetic coupling with a receiver element associated with the switching electrical apparatus. The receiver element includes an antenna controlled by a microswitch switched between two states depending on the position of the movable portion to establish or interrupt the electromagnetic coupling between the reader and the receiver element.
