Direct current electric circuit interrupting switch assembly

A direct current electric circuit interrupting switch assembly is disclosed that comprises a pyroswitch assembly, which comprises at least two pyroswitches, which are connected in parallel with each other and are each per se integrated in its respective electrically conductive branch together forming a second branch of the primary electric conductor the switch assembly, with a first, preceding pyroswitch and a second, subsequent, or last pyroswitch. Each of said pyroswitches comprises an interrupting member, by means of which each circuit with each of the pyroswitches is either connected during normal operation or is interrupted by displacing each corresponding interrupting member into another position, when a pre-determined condition is met.
