The invention relates to a voltage limiting device having a switching device 5 which has a movable switching contact 16 which can be moved between a closed position and an open position, an electrical conductor 10 electrically connecting a first cable terminal 11 to the switching device and an electrical conductor 12 electrically connecting a second cable terminal 13 to the switching device. The voltage limiting device according to the invention is characterised by a special arrangement and design of a conductor portion of one of the two electrical conductors 10, 12. A conductor portion 10B, 12B of an electrical conductor 10, 12 is arranged or designed in such a way that this conductor portion, together with the movable switching contact 16 of the switching device 5, forms an arrangement of conductors through which currents flow in opposite directions during operation of the switching device. As a result, electrodynamic forces act on the movable conductor and the fixed conductor and are directed in such a way that the conductors repel one another. The switching contacts therefore tend to close. The voltage limiting device can switch higher loads without the conductive parts having to be reinforced or other technical measures having to be undertaken.
