Electric switchgear

An electric switchgear comprising:

• a casing having at least one compartment provided with a door;
• a plurality of electrical conductors adapted to be connected to a load;
• a plurality of power feeding conductors;
• a multi-phase switching device which is mounted on a truck movable inside said compartment between a connected position, wherein each phase of said multiphase switching device is electrically connected to a corresponding electrical conductor and a corresponding power feeding conductor, and a withdrawn position, wherein each phase of said multi-phase switching device is electrically separated from the corresponding electrical conductor and power corresponding feeding conductor;
• and
• an earthing switch comprising a plurality of contacts for connecting said plurality of electrical conductors to earth, said earthing switch being movable between a first position, wherein each contact of said plurality of contacts is electrically connected to a corresponding electrical conductor, and a second position, wherein each contact of said plurality of contacts is electrically separated from the corresponding electrical conductor, wherein said earthing switch is actuated to move between said first and second positions by the movement of said truck between said connected position and said withdrawn position.
