High-current switching arrangement

A high-current switching arrangement for incorporation in a generator duct arranged between a generator and a transformer, the arrangement comprising:

• a pole frame which can be positioned on a base surface;
• a breaker pole of a generator circuit-breaker which is secured to the pole frame;
• and
• a drive which is secured to the pole frame,
• wherein the breaker pole is provided with an active component arranged along an axis designed for conduction and interruption of high currents and which incorporates a power switching point, the breaker pole having two axially spaced current terminals for an electrically-conductive integration of the active component upon incorporation of the high-current switching arrangement in a circuit path of a high-voltage conductor in the generator duct, and
• wherein the drive is arranged on a first of two end faces of the pole frame and is oriented transversely to the axis, and a linkage mechanism transmitting power from the drive to the power switching point is routed through the first end face of the pole frame to the active component.
