Abstract
An electric contact system includes a moving member movable in a vertical direction, a movable contact mounted on and moved with the moving member, a static contact, and an arc extinguishing device including a movable bracket movable in a horizontal direction and an arc extinguishing sheet mounted on and movable with the movable bracket. The movable contact moves between a switch-on position and a switch-off position. When the movable bracket is moved to a first position, the arc extinguishing sheet is moved beyond a contact area between the movable contact and the static contact and allows the movable contact to electrically contact the static contact. When the movable bracket is moved to a second position, the arc extinguishing sheet is moved into the contact area between the movable contact and the static contact to electrically isolate the movable contact from the static contact.
