High-voltage assembly

An electrical configuration, comprising:

• electrical contact elements;
• a first connection;
• a second connection;
• a third connection;
• at least one switching device having a transmission with first and second coupling rods which can pivot on a predetermined pivoting plane and, during pivoting, each of said coupling rods move an associated one of said electrical contact elements as a result of which a switch position of said switching device can be changed, said switching device connecting said first connection to said second connection in a first switch position and connecting said first connection to said third connection in a second switch position, and leaving said first, second and third connections unconnected in a third switch position;
• a drive having a drive axis disposed at right angles to the predetermined pivoting plane of said coupling rods;
• said two coupling rods being born such that at least one of them can pivot through a drive axis area in which said drive axis of said drive passes through the predetermined pivoting plane of said two coupling rods, during movement of the switch position of said switching device;
• said transmission having a first and a second connecting rod and a first and a second transmission plate being kept parallel and at a distance from one another by said first and said second connecting rod, said first and second connecting rods disposed at right angles to said first and second transmission plates and parallel to said drive axis;
• and
• said first connecting rod forming a first pivoting bearing for said first coupling rod and said second connecting rod forming a second pivoting bearing for said second coupling rod.
