Abstract

PURPOSE:To suppress repeated arc current in the case of breaking a small current by inserting a guide plate between an opening part of a puffer cylinder and a nozzle part, and generating a swirl in a gas flow, so as to suppress a static pressure decrease of the gas flow. CONSTITUTION:A guide plate 10 having a blade sectional shape for giving a clockwise swirl to a gas flow is annularly arranged between an opening part 4a of a puffer cylinder and a nozzle part 7. At the time of current breaking action, a movable contactor 3 is moved in a direction of open separating from a fixed contactor 2, and also by moving the puffer cylinder 4, a puffer chamber 6 is compressed. A swirl gas flow is guided in the nozzle part 7 through the guide plate 10 from the opening part 4a of the puffer cylinder 4, and to an arc 9 generated between the fixed and movable contactors 2, 3, the swirl gas flow 8 is blown to extinguish the arc. Thus by increasing a forced convection cooling effect by the swirl flow, a pressure of the puffer chamber can be low suppressed.

Conventionally, the breaking operation is the same for breaking a large current and a small current. When a large current of 300 kA or more was cut off, the temperature in the vicinity of the arc became high temperature and pressure, and in order to extinguish the arc, the puffer chamber pressure had to be raised considerably and a high-speed gas flow had to be blown to the arc.
When a small current of about 100 A is cut off, the arc immediately extinguishes, but since the breaking operation is the same, the puffer chamber pressure becomes high and a high-speed gas flow is blown to the fixed contact, as in the case of large current breaking. Then, the static pressure of the gas flow decreases, and when it falls below the tank filling pressure, it sometimes re-ignites, leading to an accident that cannot be shut off.
