An electrical switching device with potential control has at least one interrupter unit. The interrupter unit has an electrical switching point and an electrical capacitance with respect to the electrical grounding. Conventionally, electrical switching devices, such as circuit breakers for high-voltage installations, for example, with so-called control capacitors, which are connected in parallel with the switching point, are used for making the voltage uniform across a plurality of interrupter units of an electrical switching device. As a result, a virtually uniform voltage load on all the interrupter units of the electrical switching device is ensured. The idea here is to use resistive and/or inductive components for making the voltage uniform across the electrical switching device instead of or in addition to the control capacitors used.
