Abstract:
An installation comprising at least one electrical switchgear apparatus and a kinematic transmission cable designed to interlock a movable means of the electrical switchgear apparatus with a mechanism external to the apparatus, the electrical switchgear apparatus comprising a frame, the kinematic transmission cable comprising a flexible sheath and a core able to slide in the sheath, the flexible sheath comprising an end section constituting a first part of the cable fixed with respect to the frame of the electrical switchgear apparatus by a first fixing means, the core comprising an end section external to the sheath constituting a second part of the cable fixed to the first movable means by a second fixing means, wherein at least one of the fixing means comprises an end-piece operating in conjunction with the corresponding part of the cable, a housing designed to receive the end-piece, and locking means with dead point passage designed to oppose insertion of the end-piece in the housing when the force exerted on the locking means in an insertion direction remains lower than an insertion threshold and to enable insertion of the end-piece in the housing when the force exerted on the locking means in an insertion direction is greater than the insertion threshold.
