The invention belongs to the technical field of
electric power, and discloses an isolating switch which comprises a base, a second insulating column fixedly mounted at the top of the base, a static
contact pad fixedly mounted at the top of the second insulating column, and a disconnecting link
assembly hinged to the static
contact pad, and the
butt joint assembly is fixedly arranged at the top of the base. According to the invention, the disconnecting link main body is driven by an
electric motor or a hand wheel to rotate by taking the hinged part of the disconnecting link main body and the static
contact pad as a center shaft, so that the
butt joint piece falls into the top of the moving contact pad, the
butt joint piece pushes the two sliding frames, the conductive piece and the butt joint toothed plate to move relatively, and the butt joint toothed plate is engaged with racks on two sides of the butt joint piece; the contact area of the butt-joint piece and the butt-joint toothed plate is increased through meshing of the multiple racks, the phenomenon of deformation caused by
thermal expansion and cold contraction is avoided, meanwhile, the butt-joint piece and the butt-joint toothed plate are in surface contact all the time, the effective conductive section is guaranteed, local overheating and arc
discharge are avoided, and the reliability of circuit on-off is guaranteed.
