Abstract

The spark quenching device has a quenching plate packet (2) mounted essentially between the spark plate (1) and the contact not connected to the spark plate and opening into a blow-out channel (3). The spark plate protrudes beyond the quenching plate packet in order to protrude at least into an upstream section of the blow-out channel.
