Motorized Electrical Switch Mechanism

A relay having an opened position and a closed position, the relay further comprising:

• a pair of contact arms, each having a first end and a second end, such that, when the relay is in the closed position, current flows from the first end to the second ends of each of the contact arms, and when the relay is in an open position, current does not flow from the first ends to the second ends of the contacts;
• a motor;
• at least one spring;
• at least one cam driven by the motor;
• and
• a linearly actuating member connected to the contact arms and configured to move the contacts from the first configuration to the second configuration, the member including a cam follower surface.
