Abstract
A high-voltage circuit breaker filled with gas, including two arcing contacts, a support in which a thermal volume, a compression volume, and an exhaust gas chamber are formed. A first radial wall separating the thermal volume and the compression volume, which is movable within the support. A second radial wall separating the compression volume and the exhaust gas chamber. A buffer volume is formed in the support and is separated from the compression volume and the exhaust gas chamber by associated walls, that are designed to be connected to the compression volume only to allow gas stored in the buffer volume to be discharged towards the compression volume.
