Abstract
A disconnecting electrical apparatus includes a disconnecting block, including elements for disconnecting an electric current each able to be actuated with a coupling member, to switch this disconnecting element to a blocking state or a state allowing the electric current to pass, an actuator block, provided with a controllable electromagnet suitable for generating an electromagnetic force, a mobile container provided with a magnetic plate, which displaces the coupling members, under the effect of the electromagnetic force, so as to switch the disconnecting elements. The apparatus also includes a connection interface inserted between the disconnecting block and the actuator block, the mobile container being housed inside the connection interface.
Claims10
An electrical apparatus for disconnecting an electric current, comprising:
- a disconnecting block, including elements for disconnecting the electric current, each able to be actuated by a coupling member, to switch said disconnecting element to a blocking state or a state allowing the electric current to pass;
- an actuator block, provided with a controllable electromagnet suitable for generating an electromagnetic force in response to a control signal;
- a mobile container provided with a magnetic plate, said mobile container being suitable for exerting, under an effect of the electromagnetic force, a mechanical force that displaces a coupling member to switch the disconnecting elements;
- and
- a connection interface, distinct from the disconnecting block and the actuator block, said connection interface being inserted between the disconnecting block and the actuator block, the mobile container being housed inside the connection interface.
