Abstract
An electric circuit breaker or load switch has at least one fixed contact, a movable contact and a spring system having a rigid arm and a leaf spring. The leaf spring is hinged to the arm to provide an arm-leaf spring assembly in the form of a toggle mechanism, having a first end hinged to a movably supported element bearing the movable contact, and a second end which is hingedly supported at a distance from and opposite the fixed contact. The second end, the first contact and the movable element are positioned such that the arm-leaf spring assembly in both the open and closed position of the contacts assumes a deflected position, by which the connection length of the switch is effectively reduced.
