Abstract
A switching device, for the on-off switching of a current passing through a current path, has at least one fixed contact and at least one movable contact, wherein the movable contact can be moved relative to the fixed contact for making or breaking the current path, and a drive for the functional movement of a jumper between a contact-making position and a contact-breaking position. In the contact-making position with the fixed contact, the movable contact makes the current path. The switching device includes a high-speed circuit breaker for breaking the current path in the event of a short circuit or overload, wherein the armature of the high-speed circuit breaker is rigidly coupled to the movable contact.
