Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0848403A2] An automatic thermo-magnetic switch for domestic and similar applications able to "carry" for equal volume a nominal current greater by at least 50% than the higher nominal current "carried" by conventional automatic thermo-magnetic switches. The element for thermal protection (TE) against overloads comprises an indirectly heated bimetallic strip (L), while the heat which is developed inside the switch when this switch is traversed by current is at least partially dispelled by the means (G1,G2) for extinguishing the electric arc which is created upon opening the switch.
