Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2237295A1] The electric switch has a set of operating elements for selecting a switched off condition and a set of switched on conditions. A series connection of the switch with an electric voltage source and an electric load is operated using two different power stages in two of the switched on conditions, respectively, where power is supplied to the power stages in the switched on conditions. The operating elements provide information about the power stages that are selected by actuation of the operating elements, where the power stages are haptically differentiable based on the operating elements.
