  • Patent number: 10692673
    Abstract: A nozzle with an electric arc-blast having a median part of a first dielectric material and two end parts. The nozzle includes an insert of a second dielectric material, chosen from among: a composite material including a fluorocarbon polymer matrix and inorganic filler A chosen from among a sulfur, a ceramic and an oxide (SiO2, TiO2, Al2CoO4, ZnO, BaTiO3 and P2O5), in a percentage weight ranging between 0.1% and 10%, and/or at least one inorganic filler B (a graphite, a mica, a glass and a fluoride), in a percentage weight ranging between 5% and 50%, and a ceramic material including compound(s) (a carbide, a boride and an oxide).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 21, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 23, 2020
    Assignee: GENERAL ELECTRIC TECHNOLOGY GMBH

  • Patent number: 10236146
    Abstract: The invention relates to an electric arc-blast nozzle for a circuit breaker comprising a middle portion forming a throat defining internally an axial passage for interrupting an electric arc, and two end portions extending on either side of the middle portion and being designed to receive respective arcing contacts and that are movable axially relative to each other. The middle portion and the two end portions are made of a same dielectric material obtained from a composition consisting of a fluorocarbon polymer matrix and of at least one oxide, the oxide(s) being present in a proportion by weight lying in the range 11% to 50%, relative to the total weight of the composition. The invention also relates to a circuit breaker including such a nozzle.
