A switching device, for a wye-delta switch in a multiphase motor each phase having one motor winding having a connection pair and contact device (CD), has an electromagnetic drive for drive axle movement between three axial positions, the CD having first and second motor winding connection contacts (MWCC), phase connection contact (PCC), and movable contact bridge (MCB) coupled to the drive axle and movable thereby into the three positions. In position-1, axially between positions-2/3, the MCB is open—no CC is connected to another CC by the MCB; in position-2, the MCB is in ‘wye’ contact position—the MCB connects the PCC to the first MWCC, and the second MWCC is connected to the second MWCC of all other CDs using the ‘wye’ coupled to the drive axle; and in position-3, the MCB is in a ‘delta’ contact position—the MCB connects the FCC to the first and second MWCC. |

Disclosed is a magnetic contactor. A free space in which a DC converting circuit is provided is in a product can be secured by changing shapes of the movable core and the fixed core, and thus, in association with a low-capacity product, external AC power may be converted into DC power even without enlarging a size of a product. Also, a normal position member may be included in a movable core, and may induce the movable core to the original position, and thus, a mechanical mechanism relationship between the switch manipulating part included in the movable core and the other element is maintained. |

A safety switching device, with which a safety-related device, can be set into a safe state. The safety switching device has a microprocessor or microcontroller, which can set an electric drive to be protected into a safe state both if an emergency circuit breaker, protective door switch, and/or two-hand switch is activated and also if there is faulty operation of the safety-related device or electric drive. For this purpose, the microprocessor is implemented such that it can determine from at least one analog signal to be measured whether a predetermined parameter lies outside a predetermined operating range. In addition, the microprocessor can be a component of a safety device which is constructed for multiple-channel control of a safety-related electric drive. In this way, the safety switching device can respond to several safety functions independent of each other in order to set an electric drive into a safe state. |

The invention relates to a safety switching device, with which a safety-related device, preferably an electric drive, can be set into a safe state. The safety switching device (900) has a microprocessor or microcontroller (822), which can set, for example, an electric drive to be protected into a safe state both if an emergency circuit breaker, protective door switch, and/or two-hand switch is activated and also if there is faulty operation of the safety-related device or electric drive. For this purpose, the microprocessor (822) is preferably implemented such that it can determine from at least one analog signal to be measured whether a predetermined parameter, preferably the amplitude of the analog signal, lies outside a predetermined operating range. In addition, the microprocessor (822) can be a component of a safety device (810) which is constructed for multiple-channel control of a safety-related electric drive. In this way, the safety switching device (900) can respond to several safety functions independent of each other in order to set an electric drive into a safe state. In addition, for such a compact safety switching device, the risk of a wiring error relative to known measures is significantly reduced. |

In a terminal connection apparatus by which the space between terminals, such as the terminals of two adjacent electromagnetic contactors, is bridged by three-phase terminal connection conductors arranged in the order of the phases or in the order of phase switching to realize a motor reversing operation, load switching, power source switching or the like, the three-phase terminal connection conductors are housed in a box-shaped insulation case for unitization. As a result, the terminal connection conductors are collectively surrounded by the insulation case to protect the insulation. At the same time, the terminal connection conductors are connected to an electrical device in a unitized manner, thus preventing wrong wiring operation when they are connected. |

In the relay, a holding pin for a contact spring is arranged in each case in the region between the armature and the coil in such a way that the load current that flows via the contact spring can flow through the ferromagnetic circuit of the coil, comprising the core, the yoke (12) and the armature (13). In order to avoid negative effects of such a current loop, a connecting pin (110) is anchored in a base body outside the ferromagnetic circuit, on that side of the armature opposite to the contact spring (7), which connecting pin conducts the load current of the contact spring via a hoop portion (111) that engages over the armature. Optionally, the holding pin (9) of the contact spring may also be additionally contacted with a part of the load current, in order to make use of certain effects of the current loop. |
