Apparatus, system and method for signaling the switching position of a switching device

The arrangement includes an attachment apparatus (10) that can be attached to the switchgear. The attachment apparatus has a radio readable transponder (30) and an antenna (32), so that information from the inside of the attachment apparatus can be retrieved from a location outside the apparatus. The antenna is connected to the transponder by at least one current path (27), which can be interrupted by a switch latch (20) at a contact area (28). Independent claims are also included for (1) System for controller position signaling (2) Method for controller position signaling of a switchgear
