Abstract
Abstract An electric circuit switchgear includes main contacts circumferentially arranged on a fixed panel and auxiliary contacts. The switchgear also includes a rotary electromechanical drive connected with a driving shaft and enabling the latter to be turned through a pre-set angle. The driving shaft is rotated together with an actuating element of an electromagnetic drive provided with a contactor and a disconnector both having at least one projection interacting with the main and auxiliary contacts through contact closing and disconnecting mechanisms having locks.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
249 words
An electric circuit switchgear comprising: a fixed panel; a plurality of main contacts circumferentially arranged on said panel; a plurality of auxiliary contacts for switching over the switchgear control circuits; a driving shaft; a rotary electromechanical drive for turning said driving shaft through a pre-set angle; an electromagnetic drive having an electromagnet for closing said main and auxiliary contacts, at least one electromagnet for disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts, and an actuating element, said actuating element of said electromagnetic drive including an armature of said electromagnet for closing said main and auxiliary contacts, which armature being mounted on said driving shaft for moving along the axis thereof and rotated together with said driving shaft; an armature of at least one of said electromagnets for disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts, which armature reciprocating when said main and auxiliary contacts are disconnected; and a plurality of mechanisms for closing and disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts, which mechanisms having locks for said main and auxiliary contacts; a switch unit for switching over said main and auxiliary contacts when said electromagnetic drive comes into action, which unit includes a contactor fixed on said armature of said electromagnet for closing said main and auxiliary contacts, a disconnector fixed on said armature of said electromagnet for disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts, both said contactor and said disconnector having at least one projection acting upon said main and auxiliary contacts through said mechanisms for closing and disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
249 words
An electric circuit switchgear comprising: a fixed panel; a plurality of main contacts circumferentially arranged on said panel; a plurality of auxiliary contacts for switching over the switchgear control circuits; a driving shaft; a rotary electromechanical drive for turning said driving shaft through a pre-set angle; an electromagnetic drive having an electromagnet for closing said main and auxiliary contacts, at least one electromagnet for disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts, and an actuating element, said actuating element of said electromagnetic drive including an armature of said electromagnet for closing said main and auxiliary contacts, which armature being mounted on said driving shaft for moving along the axis thereof and rotated together with said driving shaft; an armature of at least one of said electromagnets for disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts, which armature reciprocating when said main and auxiliary contacts are disconnected; and a plurality of mechanisms for closing and disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts, which mechanisms having locks for said main and auxiliary contacts; a switch unit for switching over said main and auxiliary contacts when said electromagnetic drive comes into action, which unit includes a contactor fixed on said armature of said electromagnet for closing said main and auxiliary contacts, a disconnector fixed on said armature of said electromagnet for disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts, both said contactor and said disconnector having at least one projection acting upon said main and auxiliary contacts through said mechanisms for closing and disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
88 words
An electric circuit switchgear according to claim 1, wherein said rotary electromechanical drive comprises: an electric motor; a device for setting an angle of rotation of said driving shaft, which device includes: a disk-like support rotated by said electric motor, and a plurality of limit switches arranged around a circumference whose center coincides with the axis of rotation of said electric motor shaft, said limit switches interacting with said disk-like support and enabling said electric motor to be stopped and said electromagnetic drive to come into action simultaneously.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
50 words
An electric circuit switchgear according to claim 1, wherein said armature of one of said electromagnets for disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts is provided with an element interacting simultaneously with all said mechanisms for closing and disconnecting said main and auxiliary contacts, in case the power supply is interrupted.
