Abstract:
1. A line protection switch for protecting an electrical load circuit from an over-current which exceeds a permissible load current, the line protection switch comprising a switching member which can be moved from an operating position into a protection position, wherein contact elements of the line protection switch which can be connected to the load circuit are closed in the operating position and are opened in the protection position, and having a retention member which produces a magnetic retention field (M H ) which is independent of the load current and by means of which the switching member is retained in the operating position, and having a counter-force member which is independent of the load current and by means of which the switching member is retained in the protection position, and having an actuation member which is integrated in the switching member and through which load current flows in the operating position and which produces a magnetic actuation field (M A ) which is dependent on the load current and which is superimposed on the magnetic retention field (M H ).
