A non-electrical device (40) includes first and second half-housings which are produced in a plastic material, are joined fixedly to one another, define an axis along which a passage for an electrical conductor passes through the first and second half-housings, and delimit between them an internal volume, which is separated from the passage and which surrounds the passage all around the axis. The first half-housing incorporates, by moulding, mechanical reinforcing elements which extend substantially parallel to the axis in the internal volume until they are in contact with the second half-housing.

A circuit breaker having first and second electrical contacts configured to generate an electrical arc upon being separated, an arc chamber surrounding at least a portion of a space between the first and second electric contacts, at least one expansion chamber positioned proximate to the arc chamber, and an arc pressure control valve assembly configured to allow threshold-based flow into and out of the at least one expansion chamber. An arc pressure control valve assembly and method of operating a circuit breaker are described, as are other aspects.
