FIELD: electrical engineering.
SUBSTANCE: arc suppressor contains an arc suppression chamber (21) formed by a package of de-ionising plates (22), an arc generation chamber (11) delimited by the first side wall (12) and the second side wall (13) and a means for removal of gases generated during electric arc occurrence, the means containing a removal channel (31) positioned behind the second side wall and connected with at least one exchange space (24). The arc suppression chamber contains permanent magnets, at least part of them placed behind the first side wall (12). The removal means has a hole formed partially in the second side wall (13) and opening to the arc suppressor outside.
EFFECT: enhanced effectiveness of arc suppression without increase of the commutation device volume.
