Contact element comprising rounded slot edges

摘要

The aim of the invention is to prevent local spikes from being created in a contact element of a contact arrangement used for interrupting a current in a distribution network, said contact element comprising a contact support ( 8 ) that encompasses a hollow cylindrical wall section ( 9 ) and a bottom wall ( 10 ), and a contact disk ( 11 ) which is located opposite the bottom wall ( 10 ) in a longitudinal direction while slots ( 2 ) are provided for generating a magnetic field. Said aim is achieved by providing the slots ( 2 ) with rounded edges ( 3 ) having a defined radius.
