Pyromechanical separation device

A pyromechanical separation device (10) is disclosed, which comprises a housing (12, 12'), an electrical bus bar (14) being at least partly arranged inside the housing (12, 12'), a separation element (16) being arranged inside the housing (12, 12') and having a cutting section (17), which is arranged above the part of the electrical bus bar (14) being arranged inside the housing (12, 12') and provided for cutting through the electrical busbar, a pyrotechnical element (18) being arranged inside the housing (12, 12') above the separation element (16) such that an ignition of the pyrotechnical element (18) propels the separation element (16) in the direction of the part of the electrical bus bar (14) being arranged inside the housing (12, 12') for cutting through the bus bar (14) with the cutting section (17), a cooling element (20) comprising metal wool (20) and being arranged in in a predetermined distance to the part of the electrical bus bar (14), which is arranged inside the housing (12, 12') and provided to be cut through by the cutting section (17), and a magnet (22) providing a magnetic field such that an electric arc occurring at the cut through electrical bus bar (14) is directed to the cooling element (20).
