ABSTRACT:
A circuit breaker, in particular a high-voltage circuit breaker employing SF.sub.6 gas, possesses a fixed contact part, and a movable switching piece which is provided with a blast nozzle and can be actuated by a drive. During the process of tripping out, a compression space is rendered smaller to generate a flow of gas towards the blast nozzle and an arc produced during switching out by movement of a movable cylinder over a stationary piston head. In order to reduce the drive power, the compression space is surrounded by a coil for generating a magnetic field. The coil is capable of being switched into the current path in such a manner that, during the process of tripping out, current does not flow through the coil until disconnection has been effected at the main contact point. An auxiliary piston is located in the compression space. The auxiliary piston is capable of being driven by the magnetic field toward the contact point in order to render the compression space smaller.
