An electrical switch is disclosed, especially a circuit breaker. In addition, a method for improving such a switch is also disclosed. In order to protect an electrical switch in an especially simple manner from contamination and/or damage by erosion materials, it is proposed to cover a few or all functional parts of the switch at least partly with a protective material, wherein the protective material involves a viscous, temperature-resistant mass.

Electrical switch

An electric switch is disclosed. In at least one embodiment, the switch includes a rotor housing; at least one electric contact arm, rotatably mounted in the rotor housing and being pivotable between an on-position and an off-position as well as relative to the rotor housing; and at least one intermediate part which, in a locking position, locks the pivotable contact arm with the rotor housing and, in the event of a relative rotation between the pivotable contact arm and the rotor housing, is moved away from the predefined locking position.
