Abstract
A switching device includes a shell delimiting a plurality of spaces each able to accommodate a trip including a tripping device, a switching device, and a control mechanism including a device for grasping that can be moved between a first position and a second position by an operator in order to control movement of the switching device between an open position and a closed position. The switching device is in the closed position when the device for grasping is in the first position and in the open position when the device for grasping is in the second position. The control mechanism includes a single resetting device that resets each trip when the operator moves the device for grasping from the first position into the second position.
Claims11
A switching device comprising:
- a shell,
- a switching device including an input connection terminal and an output connection terminal and adapted to switch between a closed position allowing the passage of the current between the input connection terminal and the output connection terminal and an open position preventing the passage of the current between the input connection terminal and the output connection terminal, and
- a device for controlling the switching device, the control device including a grasping device movable between a first position and a second position by an operator to command the movement of the switching device between the open position and the closed position, the switching device being in the closed position when the grasping device is in the first position and being in the open position when the grasping device is in the second position,
- the shell further delimiting a plurality of spaces each able to accommodate a trip including a tripping device mobile between an armed position and a tripped position, the tripping device being configured to command the movement of the switching device from its closed position to its open position when the tripping device goes from its armed position to its tripped position,
- wherein the control device further includes a single resetting device configured to move each tripping device from its tripped position to its armed position when the operator moves the grasping device from the first position to the second position.
