Abstract: The invention relates to a voltage limiting device which has an electromagnetically operable switching device for producing an electrical connection between a first cable terminal and a second cable terminal wherein a first electrical conductor connects the first cable terminal to the one terminal of the switching device and a second electrical conductor electrically connects the second cable terminal to the other terminal of the switching device. The voltage limiting device is characterized in that one of the two electrical conductors comprises an electrically conductive support plate. The expansion of the support plate in the width direction allows, in contrast to an electrical conductor which is characterized by a small width in relation to the length, a current displacement in the width direction. As a result, the forces acting on the conductive parts of the switching device are reduced and the switching contacts are relieved, as a result of which the electrical properties of the voltage limiting device are improved. As an electrical conductor, the support plate improves not only the electrical properties of the voltage limiting device, but as a mounting plate also simplifies the assembly and mounting of the individual components of the voltage limiting device.

Abstract: Power receiving/distributing equipment is composed of a switchgear incorporated for each major electric path section, wherein, when arc fault occurs on an electric path to which a circuit breaker is connected, a high-speed closing device closes to detour arc current so as to flow to a ground conductor, thereby eliminating arc at a fault electric path portion. The high-speed closing device is connected to one pole or both poles of a breaking portion of the circuit breaker, and is incorporated into an insulating support member on a corresponding pole electric path so as to be able to be drawn as a whole.

Abstract: The circuit breaker system contains a plurality of phase conductors, a circuit breaker having a plurality of breaker poles, and a short-circuit link having a star point and a plurality of link conductors combined at the star point. Each of the phase conductors is electrically conductively connected to in each case one of the breaker poles and each link conductor is electrically conductively connected to in each case one of the phase conductors in each case one of several first disconnectors to which short-circuit current can be applied. In order to avoid expenditure on assembly and downtimes of the circuit breaker system when carrying out simulation experiments with the aid of the short-circuit link, the circuit breaker system contains a second disconnector which, when closed, electrically conductively connects the star point to ground and which is opened when a short-circuit current is applied to the short-circuit current link.

Abstract: The vacuum switch is compact, requires little effort, and provides a reliable current path having a high current-carrying capacity between the terminals of the vacuum switch, particularly at high switch-on speeds. The vacuum switch has a vacuum chamber, in which a vacuum is present and in which a switching contact is arranged. The switching contact includes a fixed contact piece firmly connected to the vacuum chamber and in electrical contact with a fixed contact terminal, and a moving contact piece movably guided relative to the fixed contact piece. The moving contact piece is at a distance to the fixed contact piece in a disconnect position and contacts the latter in a contact position. A drive unit produces a drive movement. A switching mechanism is connected to the drive unit and the moving contact piece and includes a conductor section that is electrically conducting up to the moving contact piece. A connector connects a moving contact terminal electrically to the moving contact piece in the contact position. The connector has a clamping contact, which has an insertion clamping contact piece connected to the conductor section of the switching mechanism and a mating clamping contact piece firmly connected to the vacuum chamber and electrically connected to the moving contact terminal. The insertion clamping contact piece and the mating clamping contact piece are arranged relative to each other such that the insertion clamping contact piece is clamped with the mating clamping contact piece in an electrically conducting manner as a result of the drive movement.
