Abstract

Es ist eine Hochstrom-Schaltvorrichtung offenbart, die zwei an Stromleiter anzuschließende Kontaktplatten (1,2), wenigstens einen an einer der Kontaktplatten (1) angebrachten, bewegbar gelagerten Schaltfinger (3) und an den Schaltfingern und der anderen Kontaktplatte (2) angeordnete Kontakte (13,17) aufweist. Jeder Schaltfinger (3) ist über ein Dehnungsband (8) mit der einen Kontaktplatte (1) verbunden und ist mit einem die beim Schalten auftretenden mechanischen Belastungen aufnehmenden Gehäuse (7) versehen, in welches das Dehnungsband (8) hineinragt und sich in dem Gehäuse (7) bis zu dem Kontakt (13) des Schaltfingers erstreckt.

Figure 00000001
A high-current switching device is disclosed which has two contact plates (1, 2) to be connected to current conductors, at least one movably mounted switching finger (3) attached to one of the contact plates (1) and contacts arranged on the switching fingers and the other contact plate (2) (13.17). Each shift finger (3) is connected to the one contact plate (1) via an expansion band (8) and is provided with a housing (7) that receives the mechanical loads that occur during switching, into which the expansion band (8) protrudes and in the housing (7) extends to the contact (13) of the shift finger.
