Gas-insulated high voltage puffer breaker comprising a puffer unit with a movable piston running in a puffer cylinder and delimiting a puffer volume. A piston and a first contact member are attached to a piston stem. A piston and a first contact member are attached to a piston stem. An electric arc is extinguishable in an arcing zone when the first contact member moves from a first position to a second position. The puffer volume is fluidly connected to a gas nozzle by a gas channel such that the puffer volume comprises the gas channel as well as a portion of the puffer cylinder. The gas channel is provided radially outside of the puffer cylinder between a puffer cylinder wall delimiting the puffer cylinder and a wall structure of the puffer unit.
