Abstract:
A load-break switch with a spring-type over-center device having an over-center device axis, and a switching means drive actuated by the spring-type over-center device,the load-break switch comprising a magnet and a lever, the magnet being adapted to actuate the lever so as to move the lever along a path of movement,wherein, when the lever is initially moved along the path of movement, the lever effects a functional decoupling of the over-center device axis and the switching means drive with respect to one another, andwhen moved further along the path of movement, the lever actuates the switching means drive to switch the load-break switch into an ""off"" position, andwhen moved still further along the path of movement, the lever effects a recoupling between the over-center device axis and the switching means drive.
