1. An electrical switching system of a circuit breaker, the electrical switching system comprising:
a first busbar extending in a longitudinal direction that carries a first contact and a second contact spaced apart from the first contact in the longitudinal direction and a first power connection; and
a second busbar extending in the longitudinal direction, which carries a first counterpart contact and a second counterpart contact spaced apart from the first counterpart contact in the longitudinal direction and a second power connection,
wherein the second busbar is mounted so as to be movable in a transverse direction substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction,
wherein the first busbar partially overlaps the second busbar along the longitudinal direction in an overlap region, and
wherein the overlap region is provided between the first and second power connections in the longitudinal direction and the first and second contacts and the first and second counterpart contacts are arranged in the overlap region in the longitudinal direction, such that the first and second contacts and the first and second counterpart contacts are arranged between the first and second power connections in the longitudinal direction.
