In addition, the vacuum interrupter pole is stable and environmentally friendly, and has an enhanced mechanical strength and a good heat dissipation performance. Moreover, the unique conductive connector according to the present disclosure may effectively form an electrical connection loop and also support the moving knife component of the upstream three-position isolation grounding switch. Thus, the vacuum interrupter pole 1 of the present disclosure can more easily meet the requirement for arranging a three-position switch at the bus side, thereby improving the integration level of the entire electrical cabinet, such as a main ring unit.
