  • Patent number: 6765168
    Abstract: An electrode of a vacuum circuit breaker has a cup member and a contact. The cup member has an opening and a periphery which is formed with a slit so as to form a coil section. An electric current flows in the coil section so as to generate a longitudinal magnetic field in a direction along an axis of the cup member. The slit is bent and continuously extends on the periphery from a first end of the cup member to a second end of the cup member opposite to the first end of the cup member. The contact is shaped into a plate, and seals the opening of the cup member.
