Abstract

In a three-phase switchgear apparatus having two adjacent poles per phase, the inner pole of each side phase is equipped with a magnetic compensation circuit designed to optimize the current distribution between the two poles and of each side phase in balanced three-phase operation. This arrangement enables the currents flowing in the two poles of either of the side phases to be balanced, by specifically reducing the current intensity and temperature in the inner pole of the side phases.
