Abstract (en)

A drive mechanism (10) for a switching device (50), a switching device (50) comprising the drive mechanism (10), a use of the drive mechanism (10) for operating a switching device (50), a method for operating the drive mechanism (10) for a switching device (50) and a method for operating a switching device (50) by operating the drive mechanism (10) are described. The drive mechanism (10) comprises an arcing chamber (11) having a first end and a second end, wherein a first arcing element (12) and a second arcing element (13) are arranged in the arcing chamber (11). The first arcing element (12) is movable along a longitudinal axis (30) of the arcing chamber (11). The first arcing element (12) and the second arcing element (13) have mutually opposing surfaces configured for carrying an arc therebetween, the arc causing the first arcing element (12) to move along the longitudinal axis (30) away from the second arcing element (13) and towards the first end of the arcing chamber (11).
