Apparatus and method for switching means - and / or high voltages with a specific driving characteristics of

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) for switching means - and / or high voltages, with a spring energy accumulator (5) for driving a kinematic chain (4). At least one energy - pre-loaded spring (6) and at least one damping element (10) for generating a drive movement with a specific drive characteristics are. In this case, the at least one damping element (10) an active damping element (10). The active damping is determined during the switching or predetermined, in particular as a function of environmental quantities and / or the type of the switching if, by changing the settings of the at least one damping element (10).
