DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ELECTRICAL SWITCHING HAVING A MAGNETIC MOVEMENT DAMPER

摘要

The invention relates to a device (1) and a method for electrical switching having a drive unit (2), a kinematic chain (4) for mechanical kinetic energy and an electrical contact (5). The electrical contact (5) comprises at least one movable contact piece (6) which can be moved by the drive unit (2) via the kinematic chain (4). A damping element (7) for damping mechanical movements comprises a means (8) for generating electromagnetic fields and/or magnetic fields.
