  • the rotating insulating tube 16 is rotated in the opposite direction to thereby effect contact closure.
  • the blast valves 30 may be operated during the closing operation, or suitable linkage, not shown, may be employed to effect a one-way actuation of the blast-valve structures 30 so that the blast effect is eliminated during the closing stroke of the circuit interrupter 1.

  • Another important feature of the present invention is the use of low-inertia small insulating rods 36, 37 to operate the pilot valves 34, 35, exhausting pressure behind the main blast-valve pistons 50 on each terminal 4, 5 to provide a fast blast-valve opening action.
