Abstract
An electric switch, in particular for a high load, such as a power switch. The switch has a contact system comprising a movable switching contact and at least one stationary contact. A movable actuation member, when moved, interacts with the switching contact for the purpose of switching the contact system. If appropriate, the switch may also have a movable locking means, which interacts with the actuation member in an interlocking manner. The actuation member is in operative connection with a lever in such a way that, when there is movement of the actuation member, the lever carries out a pivoting movement. The pivoting movement of the lever moves the switching contact for the purpose of switching and/or the locking means for the purpose of interlocking, in particular with increasing transformation of the displacement covered by the actuation member.
