Abstract

A gas circuit breaker comprising: a sealed tank; two breaking sections disposed in the sealed tank; a bracket to support movable parts of the breaking sections while enabling switching operation of the movable parts; an insulation cylinder to support the bracket through an electric field relaxation shield; an insulated operating rod disposed in the insulation cylinder movably in the axial direction and an end thereof is connected to an actuator; and a link mechanism connected to other end of the insulated rod and transmits drive force from the actuator to the movable parts of the breaking sections, wherein the electric field relaxation shield is provided with out-side groove and in-side groove on the insulation cylinder respectively, and the out-side groove and in-side groove are formed openings at the link mechanism side respectively, and end of the in-side groove is extended to near the outer surrounding of the insulated operating rod.

Claims (11)

1. A gas circuit breaker comprising:

a sealed tank filled with insulation gas therein;

two breaking sections disposed in the sealed tank respectively;

a bracket to support movable parts of the breaking sections configuring the two breaking sections while enabling switching operation of the movable parts of the breaking sections;

an insulation cylinder to support the bracket through an electric field relaxation shield;

an insulated operating rod disposed in the insulation cylinder movably in the axial direction and a first end thereof is connected to an actuator; and

a link mechanism connected to a second end of the insulated rod and transmits drive force from the actuator to the movable parts of the breaking sections,

wherein the electric field relaxation shield is provided with an out-side groove part and an in-side groove part on outer circumference and inner circumference of the insulation cylinder respectively, and

the out-side groove part and the in-side groove part are formed openings at the link mechanism side respectively, and an end of the in-side groove part is extended to near the outer surrounding of the insulated operating rod.

2. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein the electric field relaxation shield is provided with a hollow cover shaped with truncated circular cone at an end of the in-side groove part.

3. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein the insulated operating rod is provided with a ring shaped guide at an end thereof which is at the link mechanism side, and the ring shaped guide is located above the top of the in-side groove part when an open action has been completed.
