Abstract

The invention relates to an electric switchgear, particularly a unit which can be installed in a row for snapping onto profile supporting rails, which is accommodated in a housing (11) in a narrow type of construction and which has a switch handle (32) on its narrow front side, which switch handle is used for operating a switching device provided with moving contact pieces (50). The housing of the switchgear has a central receptacle (14) which holds the contact pieces (50, 52) and the connecting terminals (28) and connecting conductors (57, 61) and is enclosed by two covers (12, 16) on its flat sides and on its front and rear side, which covers (12, 16) project over the central receptacle (14) towards the front side and are used for holding the switch handle. <IMAGE>
