  • Patent number: 9892875
    Abstract: An insulation rod cover is fitted to an end portion of a puffer shaft and the insulation rod cover is fitted to a circuit-breaker side coupling pin coupling between a puffer shaft and an insulation rod, thereby allowing the insulation rod cover to be held at a joint between the puffer shaft and the insulation rod. In a first half of a circuit-breaking operation, the insulation rod cover is positioned in the exhaust cylinder and the exhaust of the hot gas from the puffer shaft is suppressed to increase the pressure of an extinguishing gas to be sprayed onto the arc. In a last half of the circuit-breaking operation, the insulation rod cover is positioned in a guard cylinder to promote the exhaust of the hot gas from the puffer shaft as well as to suppress the flow of the hot gas into the insulation cylinder.

  • Patent number: 9620315
    Abstract: Provided is a gas circuit breaker that can reduce control energy smaller than that in previous double motion systems and an excessive force applied to a moveable pin to achieve a highly reliable double motion system. A gas circuit breaker has a double motion mechanism unit including a driving-side connecting rod, a driven-side connecting rod, a lever to connect the rods, and a guide to define the motion of the driving-side and driven-side connecting rods. A moveable pin extends through a first grooved cam of the driving-side conencting rod, a second grooved cam of the guide, and a third grooved cam of the lever. The driving-side connecting rod operates to move the moveable pin inside the grooved cams. Thus, the lever is rotated, the driven-side connecting rod is driven opposite to the driving-side connecting rod, and the driven-side arcing contact is driven opposite to the driving-side arcing contact.

  • Patent number: 5850065
    Abstract: A dielectric gas produced at the time of current interruption is exhausted into an exhaust structure 1 through an opening 8 formed on a fixed-side support member 6 combined with a fixed arcing contact 4. The exhaust structure 1 has an enlarged portion with a gas flow cross section formed at least before a position at 1/2 of the overall length of the exhaust structure 1 that is uniformly enlarged toward the rear of the exhaust structure 1 with respect to the joint between the exhaust tube 1 and the fixed-side support member 6. As a result, the gas is immediately exhausted into the exhaust structure 1 and the interelectrode insulation recovery performance is ensured.
