Abstract:
Electrical contact system with a first and a second contact ( 1, 5 ), each having a contact surface ( 4, 8 ). The first electric contact ( 1 ) has a mesostructured electric contact portion ( 14 ) with a plurality of slots ( 15 ) and ridges ( 16 ) formed between neighboring slots ( 16 ) of the plurality of slots ( 16 ). These slots ( 15 ) and ridges ( 16 ) extend in a direction running transversely to said switching plane (X-Z) form a plurality of current paths ( 16 ). The current paths ( 16 ) are inclined to the first contact surface ( 4 ) at a first angle ( 17 ) measuring less than 60 degrees such that an interruption current ( 12 ) flowing through the mesostructured electric contact portion ( 14 ) and through an electric arc ( 11 ) extending in between the first contact surface ( 4 ) after lifting the first contact surface ( 4 ) off the second contact surface ( 8 ) pushes said electric arc ( 11 ) in the direction of the apex of said first angle ( 17 ) from a first position ( 18 ) to a second position ( 19 ).

Claim (Index 1):
An electrical contact system comprising\n a first electric contact with a first contact surface and a second electric contact with a second contact surface, wherein the first electric contact and the second electric contact are movable relative to one another along a switching path extending in a switching plane (X-Z) such that the first contact surface and the second contact surface touch each other in a closed state of the electrical contact system, and wherein the first contact surface is displaced by an insulating distance to the second contact surface in an open state of the electrical contact system, and wherein the first contact surface and the second contact surface extend transversely to said switching plane (X-Z), wherein at least one of the first electric contact and the second electric contact comprises a mesostructured electric contact portion with a plurality of slots and ridges formed between neighboring slots of the plurality of slots, wherein the plurality of slots and ridges extend in a direction running transversely to said switching plane (X-Z) form a plurality of current paths leading through the mesostructured electric contact portion, and wherein the plurality of current paths is inclined to the first contact surface and the second contact surface, respectively, at a first angle measuring less than 60 degrees such that an interruption current flowing through the mesostructured electric contact portion and through an electric arc extending in between the first contact surface and the second contact surface, respectively, after lifting the first contact surface off the second contact surface pushes said electric arc in the direction of the apex of said first angle from a first position to a second position.
