  • One is a duty of breaking a short-distance line fault (SLF) current
  • the other is a duty of breaking a breaker terminal short-circuit fault (BTF) current.
  • SLF current is a current having a voltage in a triangular waveform which has a low absolute value but has a keen change rate at the initial stage of rising of a transient recovery voltage produced immediately after a current zero point.
  • the BTF current is a current to which a voltage having a gentle rise at the initial stage of the transient recovery voltage but has a high absolute value at the final stage.

  • a circuit closing operation according to the third embodiment will be described through a transition from the open-circuit state illustrated in FIG. 6 to the close-circuit state illustrated in FIG. 5 .
  • the detailed description will be omitted.
  • the pressure in the compression chamber 30 becomes lower than the pressure in the suction chamber 31 because the piston 25a is driven to the left side in FIG. 6 , and the valve 32 opens the second suction holes 25d.
  • the insulating gas in the suction chamber 31 flows in the compression chamber 30 via the second suction holes 25d, and the insulating gas in the suction chamber 31 decreases and the insulating gas in the compression chamber 30 increases.
  • the pressure in the compression chamber 30 and in the suction chamber 31 can be equalized, and a pressure reduction of the compression chamber 30 and a pressure increase of the suction chamber 31 can be simultaneously suppressed. Consequently, the piston 25a does not become a condition that is difficult to move in the circuit closing operation direction (the leftward direction in FIG. 6 ).
  • the valve 32 abuts the retainer ring 32b at the end of the circuit closing operation, and the valve 32 is positioned.
  • the action and effect similar to those of the first and second embodiments can be achieved, and furthermore, not only the pressure reduction of the compression chamber 30 but also the pressure increase of the suction chamber 31 can be suppressed at the time of circuit closing operation.
  • the suppression force to the circuit closing operation produced at the piston 25a can be surely reduced, and the circuit closing operation can be executed by a further smaller energy. Accordingly, a reduction of load on the operation mechanism 5 can be further advanced, and the current breaking time can be efficiently reduced.
  • FIG. 7 is a cross-sectional view illustrating a close-circuit state according to the fourth embodiment
  • FIG. 8 is a cross-sectional view illustrating an open-circuit state according to the fourth embodiment. Note that the same or similar component as that of the first embodiment will be denoted by the same reference numeral, and the duplicated description will be omitted.
  • the fourth embodiment is a modified example relating to the ventilation hole 21a of the movable contact 21 illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 .
  • a ventilation hole 21b is formed to increase the flow-channel cross-sectional area for the insulating gas from a portion connected to the hollow portion 25b of the actuation rod 25 toward the end surface of the movable contact 21. That is, the ventilation hole 21b increases the flow-channel cross-sectional area from the portion in communication with the hollow portion 25b toward the portion where the low-temperature gas is sprayed.
  • the number of ventilation holes 21b is one.
  • the following unique action and effect are achieved. That is, also in the fourth embodiment, the low-temperature gas compressed in the compression chamber 30 at the time of circuit opening operation is sprayed from the ventilation hole 21a via the communication hole 25c and the hollow portion 25b.
  • the ventilation hole 21b has the flow-channel cross-sectional area that increases from the portion in communication with the hollow portion 25b toward the spray portion to the fixed arcing contact 11.
  • the low-temperature gas that passes through the ventilation hole 21b increases the flow velocity when sprayed to the thermal gas. Accordingly, the thermal gas can be more efficiently cooled, and diffused. Consequently, a further better insulation performance relative to the transient recovery voltage after current breaking can be obtained.
  • the shape and dimension of the clearance 31a that is formed along the outer circumference of the movable contact 21, the shape and dimension of the movable contact 21, the number, shape, and dimension of the ventilation hole 21a formed in the movable contact 21, and the number, shape, and dimension of the hollow portion 25b and the communication hole 25c formed in the operation rod 25, etc. can be selected as appropriate, and by simply adjusting the flow volume of the low-temperature gas to be sprayed toward the space where the arc 40 is produced, diffusion and cooling of the thermal gas due to the arc 40 can be efficiently executed.
  • the size of the area that covers the communication hole 25c at the end of the circuit opening operation can be changed as appropriate as long as braking of the operation rod 25 and the movable contact 21 is achievable.
