Switch having two sets of contact elements and two drives

A current breaker comprising:

• a switch including a first and a second terminal, a first and a second set of contact elements arranged between the first and the second terminal, and a first drive connected to said first set of plural contact elements adapted to mutually displace the sets of contact elements each contact element of the first set along a displacement direction between a first mutual position and a second mutual position, wherein each contact element of the first and second sets includes an insulating carrier carrying at least one conducting element, wherein in a the first mutual position of said contact elements the at least one conducting element of each contact element of the first set forms at least one conducting path with the at least one conducting element of at least one adjacent contact element of the second set, the conducting path being formed in an axial direction between said first and said second terminals in a direction transversally to said displacement direction, wherein in a the second mutual position of said contact elements the at least one conducting elements of the first and second sets are mutually displaced and do not form said conducting path, wherein the switch includes a second drive connected to said second set of contact elements, and wherein said first and second drives are configured to simultaneously move said first and second set, respectively, in opposite directions;
• a primary electrical branch and a secondary electrical branch in parallel;
• at least one solid state breaker arranged in the primary electrical branch;
• and
• a plurality of solid state breakers arranged in series in the secondary electrical branch,
• wherein a number of solid state breakers in the secondary electrical branch is larger than a number of solid state breakers in the primary electrical branch, and wherein said switch is arranged in said primary electrical branch in series to said solid state breaker of said primary electrical branch.
