Definitions
- the lower portion 14 of the casing 10 has extending therethrough a conductor 18 providing a fixed pivot shaft
- the conductor 18 has'attached to the upper end thereof, and freely rotatable thereabout, a circuit making blade or movable contact arm 20.
- an actuating lever or arm 22 mounted on the upper end of the conductor 18 and freely rotatable thereabout is mounted an actuating lever or arm 22.
- the lever 22 has a pin 24 therein near its outer end and the circuit making and breaking blade 20 also has a pin 26 therein intermediate its ends.
- Overcenter spring actuating means 25 including an overcenter tension spring 28 is connected between the pins 24 and 26.
- a barium ferrite permanent magnet 30 is attached to the outer end of the lever or actuating arm 22 by means of a pin 32.
- the upper part 12 of the casing 10 has extending therethrough a conducting element 34.
- the conducting element 34 is connected by means of a strap conductor 36 to a jaw-type stationary contact including a pair of stationary contact fingers 38.
- the stationary contact 37 is afiixed to the conducting strap 36 and to the upper part 12 of the housing 10 by means of a screw 40.
- the stationary contact 37 is fixedly mounted in the upper part 12 of the housing 10 on an integral supporting portion 39 of the sectional part 12 of the housing 10 and does not rotate.
- the elements described hereinbefore have been mounted in the respective portions of the casing 10.
- the parts 12 and 14 of the casing 10, which are made of a transparent plastic or glass, are sealed together along the line 16. After the two parts 12 and 14 of the casing 10 have been sealed together, the casing is evacuated of air through the tip-off tube 44.
- the circuit interrupter 9 provided by this invention is intended for use in a primary or supply voltage lines of the transformer (not shown) mounted underground. Such a circuit breaker 9 is required to interrupt voltages of the order of magnitude of 15 ,000 volts.
- FIG. 1 illustrates the circuit interrupter 9 attached to the end of a g -V ltage cable 52, it is to be understood that it may be attached directly to a high voltage bushing of a transformer in the same manner, the only difference being that the end of the high voltage bushing of the transformer would have to be shaped to fit into the tapered opening 59 in the liner 50 in the end of the circuit interrupter 9.
- the invention described herein has provided a new and improved sealed circuit interrupter 9 for interrupting high-voltage load circuits, which provide positive circuit interruption wherein the condition of the circuit interrupted may be visually inspected without having parts of the energized circuitexposed, where they may be inadvertently contacted by servicing personnel.
- the invention described herein also provides a circuit interrupter which may be easily installed with water-tight seals for operating under submerged con ditions.
- a circuit interrupter comprising a transparent hermetically sealed casing, a fixed cont-act mounted inside said casing first conductor means connected to said fixed contact and extending exteriorly of said casing for electrically connecting an electrical conductor to said fixed contact, means for making a water tight connection between said first conductor means and an electrical conductor, a movable circuit opening and closing element in said casing, second conductor means connected to said movable circuit opening and closing element and extending exteriorly of said casing for electrically connecting an electrical conductor to said movable circuit opening and closing element, means for making a water tight connection between said second conductor means and an electrical conductor, a lever pivotally mounted in said casing, spring means connected between said movable circuit opening and closing element and said pivoted lever, permanent magnet means mounted adjacent an end of said lever, said permanent magnet means being positioned adjacent to an outside wall of said casing, said casing being filled with an electronegat-ive gas and hermetically sealed, said permanent magnet being movable by means exteriorly or" said casing to load said spring to
