DEFINITION

Classification: 337/274

(under subclass 273) Subject matter wherein the arc suppression of quenching structure includes at least two or more means adapted to act conjointly or independently to suppress or smother the arc. For example, the separate means may comprise gas evolving material acting conjointly with magnetic means, etc., or may include the so-called "multibreak" devices in which a series of arcs are generated, thereby providing arc extinguishing gas blasts at each point of break or rupture.
