The invention relates to a grounding switch capable of extinguishing arc quickly through electromagnetic reluctance tension. The grounding switch comprises a fixed contact and a moving contact of which abutting ends are arranged in a
vacuum arc-extinguishing chamber, and further comprises an electromagnetic reluctance tension mechanism connected with the moving contact; the electromagnetic reluctance tension mechanism is composed of a terraced push rod, a
metal disk and a permanent
magnet disk both arranged on a large-
diameter section of the push rod in a sleeve manner, a cylindrical magnetizer fixedly arranged at one end of a small-
diameter section of the push rod, a hollow cylindrical insulating sleeve with a ring slot, and a yoke circularly arranged at periphery of the cylindrical insulating sleeve, wherein the large-
diameter section of the push rod is connected with the moving contact, the
metal disk is located above the permanent
magnet disk and is attracted together with the permanent
magnet disk, and the cylindrical magnetizer is located at the hollow position of the cylindrical insulating sleeve; and the grounding switch further comprises a hollow permanent magnet disk support plate of which the upper side fixes the permanent magnet disk, and a gap part between the permanent magnet disk support plate and the
metal disk is provided with a plurality of compressed
energy storage springs. The grounding switch capable of extinguishing arc quickly through electromagnetic reluctance tension is simple in structure and relatively low-cost, performs switch-on action very quickly, has high arc-extinguishing capability, and can switch on large current.
