Generator switch

Abstract

In a device for disconnecting and/or connecting m phases (u, v, and w) of an alternating voltage providing source (1) from n phases (n1, n2, n3) of a load (3), each of the m phases (u, v, w) of the source (1) independently is connected by a power switch (9) with each of the n phases in a m×n matrix. First measuring devices (4) for monitoring the m phases (u, v, w) of the source (1) as well as 2nd measuring devices (5) for monitoring the n phases (n1, n2, n3) of the load (3) are provided, and a switching unit (6) is provided, which controls the switching state of the switches (9) depending on the state of the m phases (u, v, w) of the source (1) and of the n phases (n1, n2, n3) of the load (3). This construction allows a particularly quick connection and/or disconnection for increased stability.
