Arc elimination device

An arc elimination device comprising:

• a housing;
• an arc extinguishing part that is located inside the housing and provided with a high-voltage electrode and a ground electrode therein;
• an operating rod that is movable to electrically connect or disconnect the high-voltage electrode and the ground electrode inside the arc extinguishing part;
• a handle that is coupled to one end of the operating rod to move the operating rod;
• a moving plate that is disposed between the arc extinguishing part and the handle to be movable while pressing the handle;
• an actuator that applies driving force to move the moving plate;
• and
• a power transmission unit that transmits the driving force of the actuator to the moving plate so that the moving plate is moved in a direction of pressing the handle;
• a control unit that controls the actuator;
• and
• a first switch and a second switch that generate a start signal for controlling the actuator,
• wherein the moving plate is formed to be movable between a first position spaced apart from the arc extinguishing part in a direction toward the handle and a second position located closer to the arc extinguishing part than the first position, and
• wherein the control unit controls the moving plate to move from the first position to the second position when the first switch is pressed, and stops an operation of the actuator when the second switch is pressed.
