Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0664551A2] An electrical high voltage power switch has a pair of switching contacts (1, 2) that are hollow for the passage of extinguishing gas. An arcing space (4) connects with a heating volume (8) and the extinguishing gas is heated and passes through a gap. The drive side has a compression arrangement (12, 13) and a second compression arrangement (16, 17) is on the other side. During switching the compression piston (17) moves to reduce the volume and extinguishing gas is forced through a channel (20) and into the heating volume to provide the required action.
