Claim Text:
1. A high-current switching arrangement for incorporation in a generator duct arranged between a generator and a transformer, the arrangement comprising: a pole frame which can be positioned on a base surface; a breaker pole of a generator circuit-breaker which is secured to the pole frame; and a drive which is secured to the pole frame, wherein the breaker pole is provided with an active component arranged along an axis designed for conduction and interruption of high currents and which incorporates a power switching point, the breaker pole having two axially spaced current terminals for an electrically-conductive integration of the active component upon incorporation of the high-current switching arrangement in a circuit path of a high-voltage conductor in the generator duct, and wherein the drive is arranged on a first of two end faces of the pole frame and is oriented transversely to the axis, and a linkage mechanism transmitting power from the drive to the power switching point is routed through the first end face of the pole frame to the active component, comprising a box-type enclosure that accommodates the active component, the enclosure having two openings incorporated into faces of the enclosure, the two openings are arranged opposite each other and allow the high-voltage conductor of the generator duct to be routed there through, wherein the drive is positioned below a first of the two openings in the enclosure, and the linkage mechanism is routed to the active component arranged in an interior of the enclosure, and wherein at least part of a base of the enclosure is detachably connected to the pole frame and closes a mounting aperture which, after installation of the high-current switching arrangement and an opening of the mounting aperture, will permit access from a surface of the base to the interior of the enclosure.
