Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A switching device arrangement has an encapsulation housing and also a drive device. The drive device is supported on the encapsulation housing. The drive device is arranged at a distance from the encapsulation housing via a spacer device. A receiving space is delimited by the spacer device.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A switchgear assembly, comprising: an encapsulating housing; a drive device and a kinematic chain connected to said drive device for transmitting a movement of said drive device into an interior of said encapsulating housing; and a spacer device mounting said drive device to said encapsulating housing, said spacer device forming a receiving space between said drive device and said encapsulating housing; said encapsulating housing including a bulging wall formed with a flange surface, and said spacer device being mounted on and enclosing said bulging wall. 2. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of said kinematic chain is arranged in said receiving space. 3. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said kinematic chain is configured in said receiving space to convert a movement to be transmitted from a rotational movement into a translational movement, or vice versa. 4. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said kinematic chain is divided in said receiving space into a plurality of branches, or vice versa. 5. . The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said kinematic chain includes a yoke body. 6. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said encapsulating housing is formed with a cover and said spacer device is arranged on said cover. 7. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said spacer device is disposed so that the movement is introduced in a fluid-tight manner into the interior of said encapsulating housing. 8. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said spacer device is annular. 9. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , which comprises an adapter assembly connecting said drive device and said spacer device to one another. 10. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the interior of said encapsulating housing is filled with an electrically insulating fluid. 11. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said encapsulating housing is formed with a flange surface and wherein a phase conductor is supported on said flange surface in an electrically insulating fashion. 12. The switchgear assembly according to claim 11 , which comprises a circuit breaker unit disposed in the interior of said encapsulating housing, said phase conductor forming a part of said circuit breaker unit. 13. The switchgear assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said bulging wall is formed with multiple flange surfaces that are oriented substantially parallel to one another. 14. The switchgear assembly according to claim 13 , wherein said multiple flange surfaces are formed to lie within a common plane. 15. A switchgear assembly, comprising: an encapsulating housing; a drive device and a kinematic chain connected to said drive device for transmitting a movement of said drive device into an interior of said encapsulating housing; a spacer device mounting said drive device to said encapsulating housing, said spacer device forming a receiving space between said drive device and said encapsulating housing a plurality of bellows for fluid-tightly sealing said receiving space relative to said interior of said encapsulating housing; and wherein said kinematic chain reaches through said receiving space and into the interior of said encapsulated housing, and said interior of said encapsulating housing is fluid-tightly separated from said receiving space. 16. The switchgear assembly according to claim 15 , wherein said encapsulating housing includes a bulging wall and said spacer device is mounted on said bulging wall. 17. The switchgear assembly according to claim 16 , wherein said bulging wall is formed with a flange surface. 18. The switchgear assembly according to claim 16 , wherein said bulging wall is formed with multiple flange surfaces that are oriented substantially parallel to one another. 19. The switchgear assembly according to claim 18 , wherein said multiple flange surfaces are formed to lie within a common plane. 20. The switchgear assembly according to claim 15 , wherein said bulging wall is formed with at least one flange surface. 21. The switchgear assembly according to claim 15 , wherein said bulging wall is formed with multiple flange surfaces and said bellows are mounted on said flange surfaces. 22. The switchgear assembly according to claim 21 , wherein said multiple flange surfaces are formed to lie within a common plane.
