Magnetic Synchronous Contacts Patents (Class 218/87)
  • Patent number: 9258917
    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a gas insulated electrical equipment includes: a high-voltage conductor to be electrically charged; a hermetically sealed tank to be filled with insulating gas, one or more insulating spacers for dividing the hermetically sealed tank into gas compartments and supporting the high-voltage conductor; and a pressure release device equipped with a mouth of flow channel adapted to allow the inside and the outside of the hermetically sealed tank to communicate with each other so as to release the pressure in the hermetically sealed tank, which maintains the hermetically sealed state in an ordinary condition where the pressure in a gas compartment does not exceed the working pressure but releases the pressure in the hermetically sealed tank in an abnormal condition where the pressure in the gas compartment exceeds the working pressure.

  • Patent number: 6689980
    Abstract: A circuit breaker having a hybrid arc-extinguishing function includes: an upper shell; a lower shell coupled to the upper shell to form an extinguishing chamber (S) filled with an insulation gas; a movable electrode movably installed at the upper shell and having an exhaust channel for discharging a gas inside the extinguishing chamber (S) outwardly; a fixed electrode having an exhaust channel fixed at the lower shell and positioned at a coaxial line with the movable electrode, through which the gas inside the extinguishing chamber (S) is discharged outwardly, the movable electrode being movable being movable to a position where it contacts with the fixed electrode and to a positioned where it is separated from the fixed electrode; a magnetic coil arranged around the fixed electrode to form a magnetic field for a rotation of an arc, and receiving a conductive current from the movable electrode as being shared with the fixed electrode when the movable electrode is positioned contacting with the fixed electrode
