Abstract:
1. An electrical switching device comprising: a switch housing; first and second circuit assemblies received in the switch housing, each of the first and second circuit assemblies comprising a base terminal and a moveable terminal moveable between an open state and a closed state, the moveable terminal being electrically connected to the base terminal in the closed state; and an actuator assembly received in the switch housing, the actuator assembly comprising: a motor having a drive coil generating a magnetic field, the drive coil extending along a coil axis; first and second pivot members arranged within the magnetic field of the drive coil, the first and second pivot members being rotated when the drive coil is operated; first and second actuators coupled to the first and second pivot members, the first and second actuators being slidable within the switch housing in sliding directions generally parallel to the coil axis, the first and second actuators being operatively coupled to the moveable terminals of the first and second circuit assemblies, respectively, the first and second actuators moving the moveable terminals between the open and closed states.
