Abstract: 
The basic characteristics of liquid-metal contacts are considered. The design of a liquid-metal switch ensuring commutation of currents up to one hundred of thousands of amperes in conditions of high temperatures and irrespective of position in space is presented.
Keywords: commutation, electrical circuits, liquid-metal contacts
