Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0273164A1] 2.1 An explosion-proof switchgear has a pressure-proof switch chamber (11) and a switch housing (19) which holds an operating element (34) and is connected thereto. 2.2 Inside the pressure-proof switch chamber (11) there are provided two fixed switch contacts (12, 13), which can each be bridged by a contact link (14, 15) and are connected to an operating ram (16, 17) which is designed such that it can slide out of the switch chamber (11) in a manner which is proof against ignition penetration. Above the operating ram in the switch housing (19), two spring-loaded transmission elements (24, 25) are provided which can be operated by means of the operating element, against the pressure of a spring (33) in the direction of closing or opening the contact points. 2.3 The switch gear is of simple design compared to known switchgears to the extent that the number of contact elements is reduced. It is used in control systems in explosion or flame hazard spaces. <IMAGE>
