Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2876659A1] A medium or high DC voltage switch has a first set of contact elements (13a, 13b, 13c) and a second set of contact elements (14a, 14b, 14c) with each contact element including an insulating carrier (15) carrying conducting elements (16) aligned to form one or more current paths between terminals (8, 9) along an axial direction (A) in the closed state of the switch. For closing or opening the switch, neighboring contact elements are mutually displaced along a defined contour-guided path, using for example spacer elements (40) mounted onto the contact elements, along a direction (D) including a small displacement in the axial direction (A) such that the conducting elements can remain separated in axial direction (a) even when already overlapping in the displacement direction (D).
