Abstract
The invention relates to an interrupter for an electrical wire 9, having a first terminal and a second terminal insulated electrically from the first terminal and also a contact 3, which takes the form of a separate component from the terminals and is provided to produce a conductive connection between the first and second terminals, the contact 3 being capable of being brought by a linear movement from a first position connecting the terminals into a second position in which the terminals are disconnected, an actuator being provided to move the contact and a lever 5 being provided, which acts on the contact 3 by means of a joint 14, 16, 17 and is provided to transmit force from the actuator to the contact 3.
Claims11
An interrupter for an electrical wire comprising:
- a first terminal;
- a second terminal being electrically insulated from the first terminal;
- a contact, provided to produce a conductive connection between the first and second terminals, the contact being movable by a linear movement from a first position connecting the terminals into a second position in which the terminals are disconnected;
- an actuator provided to move the contact;
- and,
- a lever which acts on the contact by a joint to transmit force from the actuator to the contact.
