Assembly and method for damping switching movements in high-voltage circuit breakers

An assembly for damping switching movements has a housing, which physically surrounds at least one piston, and which at least partly physically surrounds at least one rod. The rod is movable relative to the housing. The piston delimits a first fluid volume, which is fluidically connected to a second fluid volume by way of a throughflow opening. The rod is formed at one end as a hollow tube and physically surrounds the first fluid volume. The piston is guided in the hollow-tubular end of the at least one rod. A method for damping switching movements in a high-voltage circuit breaker includes decreasing a damping rate of the assembly for damping in a period in the time profile of the switching movement, in particular after a previous increase in the damping rate during the switching movement.
