- the tilting means (11) comes to a stop with the first means of stop (14) the current begins to circulate through the secondary circuit (3) at the same time as through the main circuit (2), since up to this moment the tilting means (11) in its rest position is not making a stop against the first stop means (14).
- the mobile contact (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7) and the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) are electrically connected through the rocker means (11) and the first stop means (14 ), said first stop means (14) being able to be electrically connected to the mobile contact (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7) through at least one electrical conductive means (18), as shown in figures 21a -21b.
- the mobile contact (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7) and the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) are mechanically connected through the rocker means (11), the first stop means (14) and of the lever (12).
- the first stop means (14) can be made of electrically conductive material, while the lever (12) can be made of insulating material or it can be insulated by another insulating material.
- the tilting means (11) can comprise two pieces (21, 22), as shown in figures 21a-21b, a first piece (21) that can abut the first abutment means (14 ) in an opening sequence of the switch of the invention (1) and a second part (22) that can pivot around the first articulation element (13) in the closing sequence of the switch of the invention (1).
- the first part (21) of the tilting means (11) can rest on a second stop means (25) in its rest position, being able to said first piece (21) and said second stop means (25) being joined by at least one flexible element (26), such as a return spring.
- the mobile contact (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7) and the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) are electrically connected through the rocker (11) and the first stop means (14), said first stop means (14) being able to be electrically connected to the mobile contact (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7) through at least one electrical conductive means (18), such as is shown in Figures 22a-22b.
- the first stop means (14) is made of electrically conductive material, while the lever (12) can be made of insulating material or it can be insulated by another insulating material.
- the mobile contact (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7) and the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) remain electrically connected only through the rocking means (11), being able to the rocker means (11) being electrically connected to the mobile contact (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7) through at least one electrical conductive means (18), as shown in figures 23a-23b.
- the mobile contact (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7) and the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) are mechanically connected through the rocking means (11), the first stop means (14 ) and the lever (12), as shown in figures 22a-22b and 23a-23b.
- the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) separates from the fixed contact (5) and therefore from the main circuit (2) without producing any electric arc in the circuit and the current only now circulates through the secondary circuit (3), as shown in figures 9-11.
- the rocking means (11) pushes the first stop means (14) and this in turn pushes the lever (12).
- the lever (12) is connected to a fixed part (15) of the control mechanism (10) by means of a second articulation element (16), as shown in figures 2-27, around which the lever (12) tilts due to said push.
- said lever (12) is also mechanically connected to the mobile contact (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7) by means of at least one mechanical connection point (17), the tilting of the lever (12) causes the displacement of the mobile contact (9), thus beginning the separation between the contacts (8) and (9) of the vacuum interrupter (7).
- the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) continues to push the rocker (11) until the vacuum interrupter (7) reaches its cut-off position, represented in figures 12-14, at which time the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) releases the rocker (11).
- the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) can follow its opening sequence and when said mobile contact (6) intercepts the grounding contact (19) the grounding position is obtained. ground, as shown in Figures 18-20.
- the rocker means (11) does not interfere electrically or mechanically with the vacuum switch (7), and therefore neither with the secondary circuit (3), due to the fact that the moving contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) can be at least partially insulated by an insulating means such as insulating paint, an insulating cap, etc., and because the rocking means (11) can rotate in around the first articulation element (13) in a second direction (B) opposite to direction (A) until it is released from the moving contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) by sliding, without this having any electrical or mechanical connection on the secondary circuit (3) or on the vacuum interrupter (7), that is, during the closing sequence there is a physical separation between the rocker (11) and the secondary circuit (3), there being no mechanical connection nor electric between both s.
- an insulating means such as insulating paint, an insulating cap, etc.
- the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4) contacts the first protuberance (20) and pushes to the tilting means (11) making it tilt around the first articulation element (13) in the second direction (B) contrary to the direction (A) until it is released by sliding.
- the first protuberance (20) is located in the second part (22) of the tilting means (11) and said second piece (22) is the one that tilts around the first articulation element (13) in the second direction (B) until it is released by sliding.
- the switch-disconnector (4) comprises an actuation shaft (23), as shown in figures 2-20 and 25-27, which acts on the mobile contact (6) to execute both the opening sequence and the closing sequence of the switch of the invention (1) due to the action of a maneuvering mechanism not shown in the figures and which can be coupled to the casing (28) through the mechanical connection element (32) shown in the figure one.
- the switch of the invention (1) may comprise a casing (24), as shown in figure 2, where some of its elements are at least partially integrated, such as the mobile contact (6) of the switch-disconnector (4), the control mechanism (10), the earthing contact (19) of the switch-disconnector (4), etc.
- the switch of the invention (1) can comprise a three-phase configuration and therefore comprise part of its elements corresponding to the three phases, at least partially, incorporated inside the casing (24).
- an electrical equipment (27) has been represented, such as a cubicle, which comprises at least one switch of the invention (1) in an enclosure (28) immersed in a dielectric medium, at least one element electrical connection (29) and a mechanical connection element (32) accessible from the outside and inside of the enclosure (28), at least one cable compartment (30), a gas expansion compartment (31), as well as other electrical or electronic devices (33) for measurement, control and protection, etc.
