A restoring element is for an electrical switch. In an embodiment, the restoring element is constructed in two parts from a first part and a second part. The two parts are configured to converge in a first direction for tripping the electrical switch and the two parts do not necessarily converge in a second direction for resetting the electrical switch, the second direction being different from the first direction. Further, the second part of the restoring element includes a restoring cam which is configured to interact with a handle of a switching mechanism of the electrical switch, such that, during resetting of the electrical switch, the restoring element is configured to be rotated by the handle in the second direction for resetting the electrical switch.
