Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0158241A2] An electrical switch comprises an arc extinguishing device (61) and an electromagnetic (32) and/or thermal trip device (60). The electromagnetic trip device (32) includes a pivotable magnetic armature (104) which, upon the occurrence of an overload, pivots a latch lever (105, 107) which releases and engages a contact lever (40) bearing the movable contact member (24), roughly in the direction of the contact opening movement. A rapid current-limiting opening is thereby achieved. <IMAGE>
