Abstract

Singe-pole or multipole, metal-encapsulated, compartmentalized or gas-insulated switchpanels of a switching station, which are connected by three-position switches, having isolating and grounding functions, to power switches designed with or without vacuum switching tubes, the switchpanels each being arranged in busbar housings or separate isolating housings, and being equipped with transmission devices for the visual observation of fixed contacts are provided. The transmission device includes a camera module which can be connected via a connecting device to a display device outside of the switchpanel. A lighting device is arranged in a displaced manner relative to a camera module for glare-free imaging of the busbar fixed contacts.
