  • the connecting device 6 comprises a groove 126 for receiving the holding plate 36 for fixing the connecting device 6 to the switching device.
  • the groove 126 extends in a transverse plane perpendicular to the direction of insertion X.
  • connection device 6 makes it possible to simply connect a primary conductor 8 to an input connection zone 12 or an output of the electrical switching device 4, and the secondary conductor 28 to the primary conductor 8.
  • the fixing of the connecting device 6 to the switching device 4 is effected easily by inserting the fixing flanges 108 in the corresponding slots 37 until the latching projections 110 and the detent grooves cooperate. Fixing is then finalized by inserting the holding plate 36 in the fixing groove 126 and fixing the attachment portion 34 to the switching device 4, for example by screwing.
  • connection pad 12 of the switching device 4 is in contact with the primary tab 66.
  • the operator After fixing the connecting device 6 to the switching device 4, the operator introduces the primary conductor 8 into the primary cage 38 through the primary opening 52, and then screws the primary clamping means 42 to move the primary clamping plate 40 of the primary position loosened to the primary position tightened. In doing so, the primary clamping plate 40 clamps the primary conductor 8 against the connection pad 12, the connection pad 12 being itself clamped against the primary tab 66, the primary tab 66 being then sandwiched between the pad 12 and the primary clamping wall 74. A good electrical contact is thus obtained between the connection pad 12, the primary conductor 8 and the primary tongue 66 of the connecting piece 24.
  • connection of the secondary conductor 28 is just as simple, since it suffices to insert the secondary conductor 28 in the secondary cage 44 through the secondary opening 54, then to tighten the secondary clamping means 46.
  • the secondary clamping means 46 then control the displacement of the secondary cage 44 upwards so as to clamp the secondary conductor 28 between the secondary tongue 68 and the secondary clamping wall 86.
  • connection piece 24 and two separate connection cages 38,44 makes it possible to prevent the mechanical strength of the clamping of the primary conductor 8 in the primary cage 38 being influenced by the placement of the secondary conductor 28 in the the secondary cage 44. It is also possible to connect the secondary conductor 28 without disconnecting the primary conductor 8, and more generally independently of the connection of the primary conductor 8 to the primary member 18.
  • the switching device 2 comprises six connecting devices 6 according to the invention, each comprising a primary member 18, a respective secondary member 20, an insulating shell 22 and a connecting piece 24.
  • the connecting device 6 comprises a plurality of primary members 18, a plurality of respective secondary members 20 and a plurality of respective connecting pieces 24 received in a single shell 22.
  • the connecting device 6 contains three primary members 18, three secondary members 20, three connecting pieces 24 and a single insulating shell 22.
  • the three-phase switching apparatus 2 then comprises two such connecting devices 6, one for the entrance and the other for the exit.
  • the connecting device 6 is preferably provided with the primary clamping means 42 in the primary position loosened.
  • the holding means 60 limit an involuntary movement of the primary clamping means towards the primary tight position. This then makes it possible to prevent the operator from beginning by loosening the primary clamping plate 40 before inserting the primary conductor 8, and thus saves time for the operator.
  • the primary sealing means 53 prevent the introduction of an object of diameter greater than 12.5 mm (such as a finger) into the primary opening 52.
  • the connection device offers increased safety against the risk of electrocution of an operator. This makes it possible to provide the switching device 2 with an IP protection class 2. If it proves necessary to introduce a conductor with a diameter greater than 12.5 mm into the primary aperture 52, it is easy to removing the primary sealing means 53 by breaking them, these being preferably divisible.
  • the shutter tab 106 closes the secondary opening 54 when the secondary cage 44 is in the secondary position tightened.
  • the shutter tongue 106 thus ensures that the introduction of the secondary conductor 28 is only possible when the secondary cage 44 is in the loosened secondary position, provided for the reception of the Secondary conductor 28. This avoids poor quality connections resulting from the introduction of the secondary conductor 28 when the secondary cage 44 is not in the expected position.
  • the connecting device 6 allows simple and durable connection of each primary conductor 8 to each connection range of the switching device 4, and the secondary conductor 28 to the corresponding primary conductor 8. It also ensures good electrical insulation of the various conductive parts and minimize the risk of electrocution of an operator.
