Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1879207A1] The unit has a contact system (2) with an insulant injector (4) for electric arc blowing. Another contact system (3) and the former contact system are driven by an auxiliary gearbox. The gearbox has a mounting unit (5a) and a guiding unit (5b) for a pinion (6) and gear racks (7, 8). The gearbox includes a mono-block (5), in which the mounting and the guiding units are integrated for the pinion and the gear racks. The mono-block has sliding guides (9, 11) and a sliding contact (10) for an electric arc contact piece (3a) that is driven by the gearbox. An independent claim is also included for a method for assembling a switchgear with an interrupter unit.
