Abstract (en)

A switch (1) is described herein comprising a primary switch operator (2) and an auxiliary switch operator (11) which are operatively and simultaneously opened and closed by a push-button (7). The contacts of the switch operators (2,11) are set to make the auxiliary switch operator (11) close and open in advance of the closure and the opening of the primary switch operator (2). The switch (1) is fitted with locking appendices and locking seats (16a, 16b) which operate an arrest of the push-button (7) when the primary switch operator (2) remains welded in closure. This allows the user immediately to detect the origin of the malfunction of the electrical circuit (3). <IMAGE>
