The circuit breaker pole or poles comprise a movable contact means with a support carrier movable with respect to the frame between an open position and a closed position and one or more contact fingers movable with respect to the support carrier between a contact position and a retracted position.

The circuit breaker pole or poles comprise a movable contact means with a support carrier movable with respect to the frame between an open position and a closed position and one or more contact fingers movable with respect to the support carrier between a contact position and a retracted position. Electromagnetic compensation means are designed to apply electromagnetic forces on the contact finger or fingers tending to keep the contact finger or fingers in contact with the stationary contact means. Electromagnetic limiting means are designed to apply electromagnetic forces on the contact finger or fingers tending to drive the finger or fingers to their retracted position. The electromagnetic compensation means and the electromagnetic limiting means are such that when the current intensity flowing in the movable contact means is under a threshold called the limiting threshold, the finger or fingers are kept in contact with the stationary contact means, and that above said threshold, the finger or fingers are driven to their retracted position. The resultant of the forces applied by the carrier on the kinematic connecting means when the current intensity flowing in the movable contact means reaches the limiting threshold is under the ultrafast opening threshold.
