  • Patent number: 8481875
    Abstract: Disclosed is a plug interlock device for a vacuum circuit breaker. Only after a plug is completely mounted to a connector, an insertion or withdrawal operation by a vacuum circuit breaker is performed. Accordingly, while a breaker body is moved to a ‘RUN’ position from a ‘TEST’ position, or when an operation is performed at a ‘RUN’ position, the plug may be prevented from being separated from the connector. This may prevent an accident.

  • Patent number: 8440930
    Abstract: Disclosed is a vacuum circuit breaker. A rotation link provided between a rotation shaft which transfers a rotation force of a driving force, and a moveable link which performs a linear motion by a rotation force of the rotation shaft is configured to receive a tensile force to be pulled to a direction of the rotation shaft when a driving unit performs a closing operation. This may prevent the moveable link from being buckled during a closing operation, and thus prevent lowering of the reliability due to deformation of sliding levers.

  • Patent number: 8389880
    Abstract: Disclosed is a keylock device for a circuit breaker. The keylock device for a circuit breaker comprises a closing lever configured to generate a closing operation of a mechanism, a trip lever configured to generate a trip operation of the mechanism, and a locking unit configured to allow a locked state of the locking unit to be maintained when the mechanism is in an ‘ON’ state, but to allow the locked state of the locking unit to be converted into a released state when the mechanism is in an ‘OFF’ state. Under these configurations, it is impossible to convert the current state of the keylock device into a locked state unless the mechanism of the circuit breaker is converted into an ‘OFF’ state. This may prevent the occurrence of an accidence due to the operator's unintentional ‘OFF’ state of the mechanism.

  • Patent number: 8390405
    Abstract: A circuit breaker comprises a latching plate rotatably coupled to a moveable plate, and tensile type latching springs, each latching spring having two ends fixed to the latching plate and the moveable plate, respectively. Time taken for a moveable contact to be lifted up from a contact time point between the moveable contact and a fixed contact may be shortened, and thus a time duration for which an accident current flows may be reduced. Accordingly, the amount of energy applied to the circuit breaker may be reduced, and a breaking function of the circuit breaker may be enhanced. Furthermore, since a contact pressure between the moveable contact and the fixed contact has a constant change, a reliability on a conductive state of the moveable contact and the fixed contact may be enhanced.
