DEVICE FOR PROTECTION AGAINST PARTICLES GENERATED BY AN ELECTRIC SWITCHING ARC

摘要

A protection device for providing protection against the particles generated by an electric arc when a first electrically conductive part and a second electrically conductive part of an electrical connection unit are separated from each other, the protection device including at least one protection element disposed in the proximity of the place at which the first part and the second part separate in order to form a shield against the particles.
