A circuit interrupting device (10) has a circuit interrupter (12) with a stationary contact (26) and a moveable contact (28). The movable contact is movable relative to the stationary contact between a closed position that allows current to pass through the circuit interrupter and an open position separating the contacts and preventing current from passing through the circuit interrupter. The movable contact is controlled by a solenoid assembly (14). The movable contact is connected to a plunger (62) of the solenoid assembly by a turnbuckle (16) and weld break assembly. The turnbuckle and weld break assembly permits adjusting the contact wipe distance and generates a hammer force to break any welds between the contacts of the vacuum interrupter. |

A shift assembly structure of switch device includes a connection seat formed with an assembling hole for rotatably connecting with a main body. A latch section is disposed on the bottom of the connection seat for latching and assembling with a wire-connection module. The connection seat has an arm protruding from the connection seat and an (elastic) restriction section formed on the arm. A shift body is assembled in the connection seat. The shift body is formed with a ridge section and a push/press section. When the shift body is moved from a first position to a second position, the ridge section is permitted to directly pass through the restriction section into a locked state. After the push/press section pushes the restriction section, the main body is unlocked from the connection seat, whereby the assembly of the main body and the connection seat is controllable. |
