Abstract

A gas circuit breaker including a pair of main contacts is openable inside an insulating tank. A pair of arc contacts is arranged on the inner side of the main contacts, and a puffer cylinder has the main contacts and the arc contacts at an end. A puffer chamber is formed inside the puffer cylinder, and a puffer piston is provided on the inner periphery of the puffer cylinder. An insulating nozzle part is mounted on an end of the puffer cylinder to surround the arc contact. The insulating nozzle part includes a split nozzle base part and a split nozzle end part, and the split nozzle base part has a throat part.

Claims (18)

1. A gas circuit breaker comprising:

a pair of main contacts being openable inside an insulating tank;

a pair of arc contacts being arranged on an inner side of the main contacts;

a puffer cylinder having one of the main contacts and the arc contacts at an end;

a puffer chamber being formed inside the puffer cylinder;

a puffer piston being provided on an inner periphery of the puffer cylinder; and

an insulating nozzle part being mounted on an end of the puffer cylinder to surround the one arc contact, wherein

the insulating nozzle part includes a split nozzle base part and a split nozzle end part,

the split nozzle base part has a throat part,

a fitting part is provided in a connection part of the split nozzle end part and the split nozzle base part, and

the fitting part has a first gap, a second gap, and a third gap, the first gap and the third gap opening in an axial direction of the insulating nozzle part, and the second gap connecting the first gap and the third gap, and opening in a radial direction of the insulating nozzle part.

2. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein the second gap is narrower than the first gap and the third gap.

3. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 , further comprising a guard part being provided on an outer periphery of the split nozzle end part.

4. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 , slits are provided on an inner side of the split nozzle end part.

5. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , further comprising a guard part being provided on an outer periphery of the split nozzle end part.

6. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 5 , slits are provided on an inner side of the split nozzle end part.

7. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein slits are provided on an inner side of the split nozzle end part.

8. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein a slit is provided on the inner side of the split nozzle end part.
