Patent ID: 7365622

Claim:
A switching device combination for capacitive loads ( 3 ) connected to a direct voltage, which switching device combination includes an actual switch component ( 1 ) for connecting the voltage to the capacitive load ( 3 ), a charging switch component ( 2 ) for connecting the voltage to the capacitive load ( 3 ) in the initial state of the connection, which charging switch component is dimensioned for a lower current than the actual switch component ( 1 ), a control component ( 4 ), by means of which the switch component ( 1 ) is controlled from an open state to a closed state and vice versa, with the aid of a mechanical lever ( 5 ), which is connected to a first shaft ( 6 ), delay elements ( 10 ), for delaying the connection of the actual switch component ( 1 ), so that the closed charging switch component ( 2 ) will have time to charge the capacitive load ( 3 ), before the actual switch ( 1 ) is connected, and a second shaft ( 7 ), which is connected to the first shaft ( 6 ), characterized in that the second shaft ( 7 ) is connected to the first shaft ( 6 ) with the aid of a tolerance ( 15 ), in order to control the charging switch component ( 2 ).
