  • Switching contact approximated until the two switch contacts mechanically abut each other. In this case, if there is an electrical potential applied to the relevant switching device, at a certain approach of the two switching contacts to form an arc.
  • Circuit-breakers are often turned on downstream consumers when the switch contacts of the relevant circuit breaker are closed, so immediately an often not inconsiderable current flows through the relevant switching device.
  • a slow, manual closing of the switching contacts can not only lead to a total loss of the relevant switching device during the closing process, but also trigger a fire.
  • Switch-on fails. Such switching devices are usually in use for a long time, 20 to 30 years are not uncommon. Used in such compact low-voltage switchgear
  • Sprung switching devices are usually designed such that the relevant switching device is still functional even in the event of failure of the same, except with the exception of the snap-on function. With a corresponding failure, therefore, it comes at the next power on to a slow approach of the switch contacts, which can lead to a fire immediately. Since the switching is probably done manually, it would also lead to a violation of the operator concerned.

  • the functionality of the snap-start function can be reliably ensured for a long time or via a large number of switch-on processes. This can ensure that when closing the switch contacts, so when switching the switching device, comes to a sudden closing of the switch contacts. It can thereby be achieved that the snap-on function takes place over many switch-on processes without significant changes. Due to the fact that the contact arm catching device does not have a low hardness or surface hardness than the contact arm extension, wear phenomena, in particular material removal, on the rocker switch can be avoided or reduced in such a way that there is no effect on the jump activation function. As a result, it can be prevented that due to material removal to a steady displacement of the breakpoint of the snap-switch device until, until the spring rocker can no longer hold the Kunststoffarmfortsatz, and the Snap-in device became ineffective.
