Electrical Switch

An electrical switch comprising:

• a frame;
• an operating shaft rotatable relative to the framed between a first shaft position and a second shaft position;
• a bridge member movable in a depth direction relative to the frame between a first bridge position and a second bridge position by rotation of the operating shaft, wherein the depth direction is parallel with a rotation axis of the operating shaft;
• and
• a movable contact system having a plurality of movable contacts, each of the movable contacts being movable relative to the frame between a connected position and a disconnected position such that the connected position corresponds to a connected state of the electrical switch, and the disconnected position corresponds to a disconnected state of the electrical switch,
• wherein a rotation of the operating shaft from the first shaft position to the second shaft position is adapted to provide an opening event in which the bridge member moves from the first bridge position to the second bridge position, and the electrical switch transfers from the connected state to the disconnected state, wherein the operating shaft is adapted to exert a first opening force to the bridge member during the opening event,
• wherein the electrical switch comprises an anti-tilting member movable in a lateral direction relative to the frame between a first position and a second position by rotation of the operating shaft, the lateral direction being perpendicular to the depth direction, wherein the anti-tilting member is adapted to exert a second opening force to the bridge member during the opening event, the second opening force being parallel to the first opening force and spaced apart from it in the lateral direction.
