Low voltage switch pole

A low voltage switch pole comprising:

• an insulating casing having lateral walls and a front and a rear wall and defining an internal space with a contact area and an arc extinguishing area, a fixed contact assembly and a movable contact assembly being positioned in said contact area, said movable contact assembly being movable between a closed position in which it is into contact with said fixed contact assembly and an open position in which it is spaced apart from said fixed contact assembly, an arc chamber comprising a plurality of substantially parallel metallic plates inserted into an enclosure made of insulating material being positioned in said arc extinguishing area;
• wherein an insulating wall is positioned in said internal space between said contact area and said arc extinguishing area and partially separates said contact area from said arc extinguishing area;
• wherein said contact area and said arc extinguishing area are in direct communication with each other in a region near the front wall of said insulating casing, opposite to said fixed assembly;
• wherein said contact area and said arc extinguishing area are isolated one from each other by said insulating wall in the region near said fixed assembly;
• and
• wherein a channel connects said contact area to said arc extinguishing area is provided in said insulating wall to allow passage of hot gases formed during arc formation.
