Abstract

The switch includes a movable contact lever (17) to which a driving piece is attached. The driving piece is connected to a slider (28) which extends perpendicular to the fixing plane of the protective power switch. A movable accessory contact lever (32) arranged and guided in the slider between the slider and fixing plane, approximately transverse to the displacement direction, and approximately parallel to and proximate to the fixing plane.
