Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0520593A1] The production and assembly of a multi-pole high-voltage switching apparatus is simplified in that the supporting rail (1) for the pole columns (7) is produced from an integral metal sheet by bending over. The openings for the pole columns on the top of the supporting rail are incorporated before the bending over. (The supporting rail is a bent-over sheet-metal profile). <IMAGE>
