A puffer-type circuit interrupter comprises a cylinder coupled to the conductive contact rod of the interrupter and a floating piston within the cylinder that is relatively movable with respect to the cylinder to pressurize fluid in the cylinder, which pressurized fluid is used for arc-extinguishing purposes. Means effective during an interrupting operation is provided for forcing current flowing through the rod to follow a loop-shaped path, electrically in series with the rod, that extends through the piston. This current has a magnetic effect while flowing through said loop-shaped path that acts to drive the piston within the cylinder through a fluid-pressurizing operation.
