Abstract
A hybrid interrupter member for an electrical circuit, the interrupter member including a static interrupter component and an electromechanical interrupter component. The static component is mounted on a support carrying electrical contacts for the static component, the support being configured, on receiving a command to interrupt, to move in such a manner as to withdraw at least one of the electrical contacts from its respective pin, thereby forming the electromechanical interrupter component.
Claims13
A hybrid interrupter member for an electrical circuit, the interrupter member comprising:
- a static interrupter component;
- and
- an electromechanical interrupter component,
- the static interrupter component being a semiconductor switch component and being mounted on a support carrying two electrical contacts for the static interrupter component, the electromechanical interrupter component being configured, on receiving a command to interrupt, to move said support in such a manner as to withdraw at least one of said electrical contacts from a respective pin,
- wherein the electromechanical interrupter component includes an electromagnet which creates a magnetic field on receiving the command to interrupt so as to move the support and withdraw the at least one of the electrical contacts of the support from the respective pin.
