Abstract

A gas circuit breaker having a pair of contacts and a pair of exhaust conductors. An exhaust hole in the pair of exhaust conductors is provided with an insulation cover having an opening. The cover has a guide on an opening end on the side near the pair of contacts and an opening end on the side far from the pair of contacts respectively. The guide has an exhaust hole protective guide and a high-temperature gas passage dividing guide. A first gas flow passage is between an exhaust hole protective guide and a high-temperature gas passage dividing guide, and a second gas flow passage is between the high-temperature gas passage dividing guides. The first gas flow passage is narrower than the second gas flow passage. An end of the exhaust hole protective guide on the first gas flow passage side is projected toward the high-temperature gas passage dividing guide.

Claims (29)

1. A gas circuit breaker comprising:

a ground tank charged with extinguishing gas;

a pair of contacts provided in the ground tank; and

a pair of exhaust conductors electrically connected to the pair of contacts,

wherein at least one of exhaust holes provided in the pair of exhaust conductors has an insulation cover, and

wherein the cover is provided along an opening end of the exhaust hole, and has an opening communicating with the inside of the exhaust conductor, and wherein the cover has an exhaust hole protective guide on at least one of the opening end on a side near the pair of contacts and the opening end on a side far from the pair of contacts.

2. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein the cover further has a high-temperature gas passage dividing guide.

3. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 2 ,

wherein the cover has a metal bush at one end, and

wherein the cover and at least one of the pair of exhaust conductors are fastened via the bush.

4. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 3 ,

wherein the cover has a fitting part at the other end, and

wherein the fitting part is fitted in a fitting part provided in at least one of the pair of exhaust conductors.

5. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein a first gas flow passage is provided between the exhaust hole protective guide and a high-temperature gas passage dividing guide, and a second gas flow passage is provided between the high-temperature gas passage dividing guides,

wherein the first gas flow passage is narrower than the second gas flow passage, and

wherein an end of the exhaust hole protective guide on the first gas flow passage side is shaped to be projected toward the high-temperature gas passage dividing guide.

6. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 5 ,

wherein the cover has a metal bush at one end, and

wherein the cover and at least one of the pair of exhaust conductors are fastened via the bush.

7. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 6 ,

wherein the cover has a fitting part at the other end, and

wherein the fitting part is fitted in a fitting part provided in at least one of the pair of exhaust conductors.

8. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 ,

wherein the cover has a metal bush at one end, and

wherein the cover and at least one of the pair of exhaust conductors are fastened via the bush.

9. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 8 ,

wherein the cover has a fitting part at the other end, and

wherein the fitting part is fitted in a fitting part provided in at least one of the pair of exhaust conductors.
