Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0374384A2] The invention relates to improving a switch in accordance with the Main Patent P 38 10 091. In this switch, low-current arcs are blown via a compression device, it being the case that for high-current arcs a sealing element (8) seals the compression device and self-blowing takes place via a gas storage chamber (9) and a pressure chamber (3). In this switch, after the interruption of a high-current arc, hot gas of low density is present in front of the arc gap. This is disadvantageous for renewed arc blowing. Provision of cold arc-extinguishing gas is effected even in such a switching position when a valve opens upon connection and thereby creates a connection between the pressure chamber (3) and the compression compartment (11), the result being that fresh arc-extinguishing gas is sucked out of the switching chamber into the pressure chamber (3) and is available for renewed arc blowing. <IMAGE>
