Next this assignment, it is possible to the pressure sensors Collecting data, such as historical data of an increase in pressure. From this data you can then for example, signs of wear can be detected.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention is also then given when the actuation signal by means of a position of the first contact detecting arrangement with the first Movable contact arranged force sensors is triggered.
- This configuration takes into account that the drive in its Force course is subject to changes from the mesh the switch contacts and the pressure build-up in the compression volume is dependent. Certain positions of a switch contact can be assigned to characteristic force profiles become. For example, the interlocking of Switch contacts connected with an increased driving force. The position of the first contact piece is therefore means a force-displacement diagram can be clearly recorded. Such one Force-displacement diagram also enables statements to be made about the condition of the contact system, for example, signs of wear on the contacts due to changed Frictions can be identified in good time.
- Electromagnetic sensors have a small construction volume and also enable direct electronic processing of the data. They can therefore be well within one Interrupter, which has only a limited space for additional Has devices to arrange.

- the contact system has a second arcing contact 8 and a second nominal current contact 9.
- the second nominal current contact 9 is mounted in a stationary manner.
- the second Arcing contact 8 can be driven by a second drive 10.
- the first drive 7 is in a known manner as a spring-loaded drive executed; the second drive 10 is also known Executed as an electromagnetic drive.
- a control module is used to control the first drive 7 11 provided.
- the second drive 10 is dependent on from the position of the first arcing contact 2 and of the first rated current contact 3 acting positive control module 12 controlled.
- the mode of operation in FIG. 1 is in the off position below shown arrangement during a switch-off process described.
- the first arcing contact is in the associated switch-on position 2 and the second arcing contact 8 and the first rated current contact 3 and the second rated current contact 9 with each other in an electrically conductive connection.
- the control module 11 generates a switch-off pulse, which on the first drive 7 acts. This switch-off pulse works also on the redundant positive control module 13.
- the first drive 7 moves the first arcing contact 2 and first rated current contact 3 in the switch-off direction.
- the sensor 14 detects the position of the first rated current contact 3.
- the sensor 14 is an electromagnetic sensor which the of one arranged on the first nominal current contact 3, as a transmitter acting permanent magnet 15 outgoing magnetic field detected.
- the first arcing contact 2, the first rated current contact 3 and the second arcing contact 8 are in their switch-off positions.
- the contact system is open.
- the control module 11 generates a switch-on pulse.
- This Switch-on pulse acts on the first drive 7 and on the redundant positive control module 13.
- the first drive moves the first arcing contact 2 and the first nominal current contact 3 in the switch-on direction.
- the position of the first nominal current contact 3 is detected by the sensor 14 and the Forced control module 12 transmitted. By reaching one certain position of the first rated current contact 3 by the forced control module 12 a switch-on pulse for output the second drive 10.
