Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a bellows unit used in a circuit breaker for blocking a fault current and a circuit breaker using the bellows unit.
In the event of a fault in the power system or a high voltage current, a current interrupter is used to shut down the fault current and protect the power plant. The current interrupting device cuts off the current when a fault current which flows to the power system reaches 10 times or more of the normal current due to a failure or an accident in the power system.
The vacuum circuit breaker, which is one of these current interrupters, has a fixed contact and a movable contact in the inner and outer chambers and the inner chamber, so that the arc between two contacts occurring in the interrupting operation is eliminated to quickly isolate the circuit. At this time, the inside of the outer chamber is vacuumed with respect to the inner chamber, and the outside is filled with sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ).
1, the conventional vacuum circuit breaker includes an
The
However, in this configuration, since the inside of the
Recently, the use of sulfur hexafluoride has been reduced due to global warming problems, and the use of vacuum circuit breakers using dry air instead of sulfur hexafluoride has been increasing. However, the dry air has a lower insulation performance than sulfur hexafluoride and generally has to be filled with a pressure higher than 3 bar. Therefore, the bellows having elasticity is torn or broken, and breakage of the bellows has a problem of breaking the vacuum in the chamber or leakage of the insulating material, thereby reducing the insulation performance of the circuit breaker.
To solve this problem, according to Korean Patent Publication No. 10-107708, which is a conventional vacuum circuit breaker, a movable contact inside an inner chamber is connected in series with a conductor pile, and a lower conductor pile is connected in series with an insulator , And a bellows is provided on the side of the movable contact. Therefore, the space between the bellows and the movable contact, the inner space of the conductor pile, and the inner space of the insulator are communicated and at atmospheric pressure, and the outer space of the bellows communicates with the inner chamber and is in a vacuum state. Thus reducing the stress on the bellows.
However, such a vacuum circuit breaker has a problem in that the structure for maintaining the atmospheric pressure is complicated and difficult to assemble. In addition, there are disadvantages that atmospheric pressure sealing is difficult because there are many joining parts to be sealed to maintain atmospheric pressure.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a bellows for a circuit breaker which prevents breakage of the bellows by internal and external pressure differences.

Preferably, the material of the first and second bellows is made of metal.
Preferably, the pressure of the first space is set to a value between the pressure of the compression space and the inner pressure of the inner chamber, thereby reducing the inner and outer pressure differences of the first and second bellows.
