[0027] The present invention will be further described in detail below through specific implementation examples and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Example

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a novel mechanical switch comprises a housing 1, within which a rotating base 2 is mounted. Both the housing 1 and the rotating base 2 are made of insulating material. Two moving contacts 5 are mounted on the rotating base 2, positioned opposite each other within a groove of the rotating base 2.

Two static contacts 4 are mounted on the static cover plate 3. The upper ends of the static contacts 4 are connected to the housing with high-voltage insulated conductors to serve as input leads 7 and output leads 8, respectively. The two moving contacts 5 and the two static contacts 4 are arranged at 180° angles.
