Abstract
An electrical breaking module includes a non-magnetic, electrically insulating casing housing, a fixed contact and a movable contact defining between them a breaking zone in which an electric arc extends at its origin when the electrical circuit is opened. A magnetic blow-out device is provided with at least one magnetic field source arranged in a breaking chamber, opposite the breaking zone to move and stretch the electric arc in a direction substantially perpendicular to the breaking plane towards the housing. The magnetic blow-out device also includes a non-magnetic, electrically insulating deflector, arranged in the breaking chamber to occupy most of the space between the breaking zone and the casing, so as to create at least one arc confinement zone, in which the electric arc when magnetically blown is deflected and constrained to promote its cooling and extinction.
