You may be referring to an air circuit breaker or, more accurately, and air-blast circuit breaker. This is a type of high-voltage circuit breaker in which the electrical arc, drawn when it opens, is stretched and snapped by a blast of air directed between the separating contacts -so the air is used as a method of extinguishing the arc. Often, these breaker's mechanisms are also driven by compressed air.
