Abstract

A switching element for a tap changer, the switching element having a vacuum interrupter that includes a movable contact, a plunger connected with the movable contact, and a housing, in the interior of which, the movable contact is arranged. The switching element also has an actuator configured to actuate the plunger and thereby actuate the movable contact; and a guide. The guide is arranged outside of the housing and is attached to the actuator such that, when actuation of the movable contact takes place, the guide is configured to move therewith. The guide surrounds the housing at least in part, and at least a sub-region of the guide bears against the housing such that, when the movable contact is actuated, the sub-region is moved along the housing.
