Abstract

The gas circuit breaker includes a main shaft which is a rotating shaft of a main lever connected to an opening spring, a cam shaft which is a rotating shaft of a cam connected to a closing spring, a main shaft holding member which holds the main shaft, a cam shaft holding member which holds the cam shaft, and a bracket which holds the main shaft holding member and the cam shaft holding member. A through hole is provided in a portion of the bracket between the main shaft holding member and the cam shaft holding member, and a heat generating member is provided at least on a portion of the through hole.

Claims (17)

1. A gas circuit breaker comprising:

a pair of contactors disposed by being opposed to each other in a grounded container; and

an operating mechanism including a closing spring and an opening spring for driving at least one of the pair of contactors in a closing direction and in an opening direction, respectively, by means of a link mechanism,

wherein the operating mechanism includes a main shaft being a rotating shaft of a main lever connected to the opening spring; a cam shaft being a rotating shaft of a cam connected to the closing spring; a main shaft holding member holding the main shaft; a cam shaft holding member holding the cam shaft; and a bracket holding the main shaft holding member and the cam shaft holding member,

wherein a through hole is provided in a portion of the bracket between the main shaft holding member and the cam shaft holding member, and

wherein a heat generating member is provided at least on a portion of the through hole.

2. A gas circuit breaker comprising:

a pair of contactors disposed by being opposed to each other in a grounded container; and

an operating mechanism including a closing spring and an opening spring for driving at least one of the pair of contactors in a closing direction and in an opening direction, respectively, by means of a link mechanism,

wherein the operating mechanism includes a main shaft being a rotating shaft of a main lever connected to the opening spring; a cam shaft being a rotating shaft of a cam connected to the closing spring; a main shaft holding member holding the main shaft; a cam shaft holding member holding the cam shaft; and a bracket holding the main shaft holding member and the cam shaft holding member,

wherein a reinforcing member for connecting the main shaft holding member and the cam shaft holding member is provided therebetween,

wherein a through hole is provided in a region surrounded by the main shaft holding member, the cam shaft holding member, and the connecting reinforcing member, and

wherein a heat generating member is provided at least on a portion of the through hole.

3. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein the heat generating member is disposed at a side close to the cam shaft holding member in the through hole.

4. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 , wherein the heat generating member is disposed at a side close to the earn shaft holding member in the through hole.

5. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein the heat generating member is in the form of a sheet.

6. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 , wherein the heat generating member is in the form of a sheet.
