Abstract

Es wird eine Lichtbogenlöschanordnung für ein elektrisches Schaltgerät beschrieben, die einer Löschkammer, in der bei einer Schalthandlung zwischen einem feststehenden und einem beweglichen Kontaktstück ein Lichtbogen erzeugt wird, und mehrere Lichtbogenlöschbleche aufweisendes Lichtbogenlöschblechpaket umfasst, in das der Lichtbogen über Leitschienen hineingeführt wird. Im Lichtbogenlöschblechpaket (24) ist wenigstens eine Platte (41, 50) aus isolierendem Material angeordnet, deren Außenumfang den Außenumfang der Lichtbogenlöschbleche (25) nicht überragt und die eine Innenausnehmung (44, 56) aufweist.

Figure 00000001
An arc extinguishing arrangement for an electrical switching device is described, which comprises an arc chamber in which a switching action between a fixed and a movable contact piece generates an arc, and a plurality of arc quenching exhibiting arc splitter stack, in which the arc is guided over guide rails. In the arc splitter stack (24) at least one plate (41, 50) of insulating material is arranged, whose outer periphery does not project beyond the outer periphery of the arc extinguishing plates (25) and which has an inner recess (44, 56).
