Abstract
An electromechanical circuit breaker for establishing and breaking the current in a main circuit includes a fixed contact element and a moving contact element, which in a first position are in electrical contact with each other for carrying the current of the main circuit, the moving contact element being adapted to be displaced to a second position in which it is separated from the fixed contact element so that the current in the main circuit is cut off. The circuit breaker is provided with a blow-out device including a magnetizing coil traversed by a magnetizing current for producing a magnetic field adapted to drive an arc generated by the separation of the two contact elements into an arc extinction element.
