L'invention porte sur un appareillage de commutation (100) comportant les éléments suivants : un mécanisme de commutateur (103) qui peut connecter ou déconnecter un contact déplaçable (2a) vers/depuis un contact fixe (1a) ; un aimant (4) qui génère un champ magnétique pour allonger un arc généré lorsque les contacts (1a et 2a) se séparent ; et un corps magnétique allongé (3), dont une extrémité est en contact avec une surface de pôle magnétique de l'aimant. L'autre extrémité dudit corps magnétique (3) est positionnée proche d'une région de génération d'arc entre un contacteur fixe (1) et un contacteur déplaçable (2). Le champ magnétique généré par l'aimant (4) allonge l'arc le long d'une surface de côté de longueur du corps magnétique (3).
