    摘要: The invention relates to an input device (1) for safety-relevant functions of a motor vehicle, having a switch contact (3) with a first connection (4) and a mating contact (5) with a second connection (6). A first resistor (9) is connected between a voltage supply connection (8) and one connection (4, 6) of the switch element (2) and a second voltage supply connection (7) is connected to the other connection (4, 6) of the switch element (2). A measuring node (10), via which an actuation-dependent voltage can be captured, is provided between the first resistor (9) and the associated connection (4, 6). The problem addressed by the invention is that of developing input devices of the type in question such that they can be used for safety-relevant applications in the motor vehicle. This problem is solved by the switch contact (3) having a third connection (12) at which a second resistor (13), which is connected to the second connection (6) of the switch element (2), is provided.

    摘要: A transformer comprises a transformer housing, a stationary contact, a load break rotary switch and a magnetically sensitive indicator component. The load break rotary switch comprises a shaft, comprising a shaft portion which is disposed in an inner housing area and a shaft contact attached to the shaft portion. The load break rotary switch further comprises a lever connected to the shaft portion with respect to a rotary axis in a rotationally fixed manner, wherein the lever comprises a lever portion having a radial distance from the rotary axis. The lever portion comprises a lever magnet. A magnetically sensitive indicator component is switched from its first state into its second state by the lever magnet when the shaft is rotated from the first position to the second position or vice versa. Thus, an operator can ensure that the shaft contact is disconnected from the stationary contact before performing a maintenance work.
