High-speed circuit breaking array for breaking a current path in a switching device

A high-speed circuit breaker arrangement for interrupting a current path in a switching device in the event of short-circuiting or overload, the arrangement comprising:

• a drive configured to move a drive armature from a standby position into a tripping position, the movement of the drive armature being configured to act on at least one moving contact of the switching device such that a current path is interrupted;
• a holding apparatus configured to hold the drive armature the tripping position,
• wherein the holding apparatus includes a holding armature, rigidly coupled to the drive armature, and a magnet arrangement,
• wherein the holding armature is held in a holding position by a magnetic force of the magnet arrangement as soon as the drive armature reaches the tripping position, and
• wherein the high-speed circuit breaker arrangement is configured solely for interrupting the current path in the switching device in the event of short-circuiting or overload, and is independent of a drive configured to switch the switching device during operation.
