Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An electrical power transmission device includes at least one switching unit having at least one contact fitting for electrically contacting the switching unit. Furthermore, the switching unit has a sensor for monitoring the state of the switching unit. The sensor is supported by the contact fitting. The sensor is at least partially masked by the contact fitting.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An electrical energy transmission device, comprising: a switching unit including a switching point and at least one contact fitting creating an electrical contact with said switching point; and a sensor for monitoring a state of said switching unit, said sensor being carried by said at least one contact fitting. 2. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said sensor is at least partially masked by said at least one contact fitting. 3. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said sensor has a bearing surface bearing on said at least one contact fitting and a surface facing away from said bearing surface and protruding in a direction of a ground potential. 4. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said sensor is an energy-self-sufficient sensor. 5. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said sensor includes a wireless radiation unit having a radiation direction pointing in a direction of a ground potential. 6. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said sensor is disposed laterally on said at least one contact fitting. 7. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said switching unit is an outdoor switching unit. 8. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said sensor is configured to be spanned by an overhead line fastened to said at least one contact fitting. 9. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said sensor is at least partially spanned by said at least one contact fitting. 10. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said sensor has a thermally reflective surface structure. 11. The electrical energy transmission device according to claim 1 , wherein said switching unit has an end face, and said sensor is disposed on said end face.
