  • the circuit breaker uses the energy of a switching arc for generating and for storing a pressurized arc extinguishing gas in a heating volume. After current-zero the arc extinguishing gas enables a hot gas clearance of a gap which is arranged between two arcing contacts and thus enables the breaking of a current to be interrupted.
  • a mechanically operated piston-cylinder arrangement with a movable and a stationary part which parts enclose a compression volume assists the switching arc in generating the arc extinguishing gas.
  • Insulating gas which during the breaking operation mechanically is pressurized and stored in the compression volume enables a sufficient hot gas clearance in the gap after current zero in the case of breaking a weak current.
  • the heating volume and the compression volume communicate by means of a flow duct.
  • an intermediate valve is provided which closes the flow duct when the gas pressure in the heating volume is higher than the gas pressure in the compression volume.
