An electric switch constituting a circuit breaker in particular, wherein a conductive blade is broken by the tripping of a pyrotechnically actuated gas generator. According to the invention, a pyrotechnically actuated gas generator (15) is arranged so as to emit gases resulting from the combustion of a charge, and the generator is associated with a variable configuration chamber (17) and a breakable conductive blade (19) constitutes a bottom partition of said chamber, the breaking of the blade under the influence of the gases bringing about the interruption of the electric circuit of which the blade is a part. |
