Electrical installation switching device having a switching position display

An electrical installation switching device, comprising:

• an insulating material housing;
• a switching knob protruding beyond the insulating material housing on a front face of the insulating material housing, the switching knob configured to pivot between a switched-on position and a switched-off position about a first pivot axis;
• a magnetic short circuit current trigger and/or a thermal excess current trigger;
• a contact site formed from, and including, a fixed contact piece and a moveable contact piece;
• a switching lock including a latching site, the switching lock being triggerable in the event of an excess current and/or short circuit current using the excess current trigger and/or the short circuit current trigger when unlatching the latching site;
• and
• an operator configured to pivot between a release position and an operating position about a second pivot axis, is the second pivot access being aligned parallel to the first pivot axis,
• wherein the switching knob includes an operating contour, and
• wherein the operator and the operating contour cooperate in the event of the switching lock being triggered by the excess current trigger and/or a short circuit current trigger when the operator is pivoting about its pivot axis so as to hold the switching knob in an intermediate position between the switched-on position and the switched-off position.
