Abstract
An electric switch is disclosed. The electric switch has a first terminal, a second terminal, a contact sub-assembly comprising at least two contact members disposed in a current path between the first and second terminals, the contact sub-assembly having a connecting position in which the contact members contact each other and an interrupting position in which the contact members are spaced apart from each other a Lorentz force generator comprising a first conductor member and a second conductor member, and at least one support Lorentz force generator. The Lorentz force generator and the at least one support Lorentz force generator both bias the contact sub-assembly into the connecting position, the current path extending from the first terminal to the second terminal through the contact sub-assembly in the connecting position.
