Abstract

A valve for the escape of compressed air in order to extinguish the electric arc between the moving contacts of a circuit-breaker. The arrangement includes an intermediate moving structure between the control rod and the compensated force valve with two seats, said structure being constituted by a cylinder integral with one of the seats and a piston which cooperates with the control rod in order to transmit a rapid and reliable control command.
