Claims
- 1. A switch position indication and interlock for a power breaker circuit, comprising:a control module to jointly integrate the switch position indication and the interlock; an indication slide to provide the switch position indication; and an interlock slide to provide the interlock, wherein the control module has a center plate which guides the indication slide and the interlock slide and is arranged between a front-face cover plate and a retaining plate facing an inner region of the power breaker circuit, the center plate has a plurality of guide openings matching positions and contours of the indication slide and of the interlock slide, the cover plate has a plurality of viewing openings matching the positions and the contours of the indication slide and of the interlock slide, and the retaining plate has a plurality of bushing openings matching the positions and the contours of the indication slide and of the interlock slide.
- 2. The switch position indication and interlock as claimed in claim 1, whereinthe indication slide and the interlock slide move in straight lines in the center plate, the indication slide and the interlock slide are guided approximately at right angles to one another by the center plate, and the indication slide and the interlock slide are guided in the center plate in such a manner that, when the power breaker circuit is switched on, the indication slide blocks the interlock slide from moving.
- 3. The switch position indication and interlock as claimed in claim 1, whereinthe indication slide is associated with a position state of the power breaker circuit, and the interlock slide is associated with a function enabling state of a disconnector and a grounding device.
- 4. The switch position and interlock as claimed in claim 3, whereinthe position state of the power breaker is symbolized by transverse and longitudinal bars on the indication slide, and the function enabling state of at least one of the disconnector and the grounding device is provided by the interlock slide by blocking or releasing bushings to drive shafts.
