Abstract

Electrical switching device with a switching housing designed to be fitted with at least one switching polar assembly (80) comprising two arc extinguishing splitters blocks (81,82) located on each part of a contact bridge (83) movable along a horizontal axis. The switching housing comprises a first element (20) comprising a bottom (21) formed from a first horizontal face of the switching device (10), so as to form a tank with a cavity (29) that houses a first splitters block (81), and a second element (30), assembled to the first element (20), comprising a bottom (31) formed from a second horizontal face of the switching device (10), opposite the first horizontal face, so as to form a tank with a cavity (39) that collects the second splitters block (82). The invention also relates to a method of assembling such a switching device.
