Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2005099080A1] The aim of the invention is to provide an inexpensive electronic arc quenching system which reliably detects and processes a non-functional state of opening of the bypass contacts (1) of a circuit device for starting a motor for example due to malfunction or mechanical stress. For this purpose, the voltage across a parallel circuit device consisting of the bypass system (1) and a semiconductor device (2) is detected and the circuit elements (1, 3, 4) are controlled in accordance therewith. If the bypass system (1) is unintentionally opened, an arc voltage is applied to the bypass contacts. When this voltage is detected, the control unit (8) switches on the semiconductor device (2) so that the current flows across the semiconductor device (2) and the arc is extinguished.
