Svar:
When an electromechanical component such as a contactor is exposed to a situation that causes it to fail, it does so safely. A contactor that has arc extinguishing in air will be able to break the current without damaging other components. In gas-filled and contactors with closed arcing chambers, there is a risk of large pressure differences occurring due to. heating, this can lead to explosions with uncontrolled consequences, e.g. current conductors can risk damaging surrounding components.
