ABSTRACT:
An arc chute comprising an arc extinguishing chamber formed by a stack of deionizing plates and an arc formation chamber bounded by a first and second flange, said arc chute being equipped with permanent magnets arranged behind at least the first flange, in which the arc formation chamber comprises:an enhanced induction section where the arc is propelled towards the arc extinguishing chamber by a first part of the permanent magnets, anda diverting section where the arc is diverted towards the first flange by a second part of the permanent magnets, the magnetic field in the longitudinal mid-plane generated by the second part being substantially weaker than that generated by the first part.A circuit breaker comprising separable contacts and the previously described arc chute.
