arc suppression coil
arcing between contactor tips shortens the life of the tips and causes an electomagnetic discharge that disturbs radio equipment as well. Magnets or field generating coils are used to quench these quickly and reduce damage.

Comment: "Thank you Vittorio, I have decided to go for magnetic arc blow spiral at the end of the day, but arc suppression coil was a v.g. suggestion. "

Hi Alexxx
This appears to be a highly specific area of technology so I'm afraid I can't offer too much to assist you. I notice that some arc extuinquishing systems use a blast of inert gas to blow the arc away from the contacts and the device responsible for this action is referred to as a "puffer" on several sites. More than that I cannot add, so the spira and magnetico remain a mystery in the context, although the sites I have visited refer in various context to magnetic fields, loops and indeed coils.
As for the technical dictionary, afaik there are no printed reference works that are sufficiently up to date in this fast-moving field so the Internet probably remains your best source.
All the best
