  "textContent": "The invention relates to a switching device, in particular for a voltage limiting device, which has a first fixed switching contact which is electrically connected to a first device terminal , a second fixed switching contact which is electrically connected to a second device terminal , and a movable switching contact . The invention also relates to a voltage limiting device which has such a switching device . The first and second fixed switching contacts of the switching device are arranged next to one another in such a way that their contact surfaces A, A point in the same direction. The movable switching contact can be moved between a closed position in which the first and second fixed switching contacts are electrically connected to one another, and an open position in which the first and second fixed switching contacts are separated from one another. The first and second fixed switching contacts and the movable switching contact form an arrangement of electrical conductors which are arranged substantially parallel to one another. At least one of the fixed switching contacts has an elongated contact surface which extends in the direction A of current flow. Electrodynamic forces act on the fixed conductors and the movable conductor , which are directed in such a way that the conductors attract each other, i.e., the switching contacts tend to close.",
