<p>The present invention relates to a switching device, in particular an automatic switch, a disconnector or a contactor, with high dependability, for use preferably in low voltage electrical systems. In particular the invention relates to a single-pole or multi-pole double break switching device for low voltage systems comprising, for each pole, at least a first pair of contacts and at least a second pair of contacts. Each pair comprises a stationary contact and a movable contact which can be reciprocally coupled/decoupled at the level of a first breaking cavity and a second breaking cavity respectively. Said cavities are defined inside a casing which comprises a first surface with respect to which an internally hollow portion protrudes, said internally hollow being integrally made with at least one portion of the casing. The hollow portion defines, for each pole, one or more discharge channels each of which has a first section communicating with the corresponding first breaking cavity and a second section communicating with the environment outside the casing to permit the discharge of gas from the inside of the first breaking cavity.</p> |
