Abstract
In at least one embodiment, an auxiliary switch includes a rotation part and a switching lever assigned to a configuration of the auxiliary switch, the switching lever being embodied to detect a switching state of the electrical switch and transmit it to the rotation part. Further, different switching states of the auxiliary switch are set by different rotary positions of the rotation part, with the rotation part having at least two engagement points and with the switching lever assigned to a configuration engaging in the engagement point assigned to this configuration.

An auxiliary switch for an electrical switch comprising:
- a rotation part;
- and
- at least one switching lever assigned to a configuration of the auxiliary switch, the at least one switching lever being embodied to detect a switching state of the electrical switch and to transmit the switching state to the rotation part, different switching states of the auxiliary switch being set by different rotary positions of the rotation part, and the rotation part including at least two engagement points formed of notches within an edge surface of the rotation part, the at least one switching lever engaging in a respective one of the notches assigned to the configuration.
An auxiliary switch for an electrical switch comprising:
- a rotation part;
- and
- at least one switching lever assigned to a configuration of the auxiliary switch, the at least one switching lever being embodied to detect a switching state of the electrical switch and to transmit the switching state to the rotation part, different switching states of the auxiliary switch being set by different rotary positions of the rotation part, and the rotation part including at least two engagement points, the at least one switching lever engaging in a respective one of the at least two engagement points assigned to the configuration, wherein
- the at least one switching lever is embodied as a push or pull element which engages in the rotation part,
- the push or pull element is provided with a pin, embodied to engage in a switching mechanism of the electrical switch, and
- the push element is embodied, on a side facing away from the rotation part, to be interactable with a magnetic latch or a switching lock of the electrical switch to engage in the switching mechanism of the electrical switch.
