Abstract
A switching device having two terminals that are electrically connected via a first current path that has a mechanical switch. The switching device also includes a second current path that is electrically wired in parallel with the first current path and that has a bridge rectifier with an AC voltage side and a DC voltage side. The AC voltage side is connected to the terminals, and the DC voltage side is electrically connected via a switch unit. The invention also relates to a circuit breaker.
