Abstract

L'invention concerne un disjoncteur présentant une grande résistance à la chaleur, une grande résistance à l'arc et d'excellentes caractéristiques de course excédentaire entre les points de contact, tout en étant recyclable ou réutilisable. Ce disjoncteur comprend des mécanismes (7, 28, 29, 31, 32) servant à ouvrir/fermer des supports (6, 26) maintenant des contacts mobiles (5, 25) de façon rotative, ainsi que des bases (2, 21) destinées à maintenir les supports (6, 26) de façon rotative et également des contacts latéraux (10, 23) fixes. Lorsqu'une surintensité de courant est détectée, les contacts mobiles (5, 25) sont entraînés en rotation et un arc généré entre les points de contact est éteint par des extincteurs d'arc (9, 34). Les bases (2, 21) sont des pièces moulées isolantes contenant principalement une résine thermoplastique cristalline irradiée à l'aide d'un faisceau d'électrons après moulage.
