摘要:
A circuit interrupter comprises a pair of separable contact structures (16, 18) each including a contact element (20, 22) at least one of the contact structures (18) being movable between a closed position and an open position relative to the other contact structure (16) for opening and closing an electric circuit extending through the circuit interrupter. The movable contact structure has an arm support (54) that is pivotable about an axis, a movable contact arm (30) pivotally supported on the arm support and extending in a parallel and an electrically opposite direction to the other contact structure for generating an electromagnetic repulsive force there-between, and a biasing means (56), in particular a double torsion spring, connected between the arm support and the movable contact arm for biasing the movable contact arm to a predetermined position with respect to said arm support. An operating mechanism (24) is connected to the arm support of the movable contact structure for separating the movable contact structure from the stationary contact structure in response to an overcurrent flowing through the circuit interrupter. The movable contact arm (30) has a common pivot axis to the pivot axis of the arm support (54). Means for controlling the movement of the movable contact arm are described.

The disclosed terminal assembly for a circuit interrupter comprises three pairs of opposite source and load terminals 10, 20 each pair being carried on both lateral sides by a pair of first and second side plates 30, 40 by having each lateral side 106,206 and a recess 104, 204 on that side engaging an associated groove 300, 302 and a raised portion 306, 308 on the front surface of each side plate respectively and connected to adjacent pairs of the opposite source and load terminals through different pairs of the first and second side plates interconnected back to back. All the terminals and side plates are assembled into a unitary structure between two metallic plates 70,72 by means of bolts 78, 80 and nuts 84. A supporting strut 60 includes two notches 600, 602 fitted onto the lateral surfaces of end portions of each pair of the opposite source and load terminals 10, 20 and is disposed on each of the side plates. The outermost strut is connected to the adjacent metallic plate through a lateral locking member 86 and each pair of the intermediate struts are interconnected back to back and connected to the interconnected first and second plates through an intermediate locking member 96.

A circuit interrupter comprises, in a compartment defined in an electrically insulating housing 10, a pair of separable contacts 18, 20 defining, when separated, an arcing region therebetween, and an operating mechanism 22, including a tripping unit and an operating handle, for opening and closing the separable contacts. The housing includes an electrically insulating bottom wall 16 and a gas exhaust passage 50 having an inlet opening in the inner surface of the housing, the inlet 52 of the gas exhaust passage being located in the bottom wall at a position effective for exhausting arc gas generated in the arcing region without the gas contacting the operating mechanism.

The disclosure describes an air circuit breaker comprising, in combination, a rotational shaft (104) connected with a motor, a cam (113) which rotates in one direction through a ratchet (112) by a handle operation to accumulate pressure in an energy accumulating spring for contact closure, and engaging part (122) provided on the outer periphery of the rotational shaft, and a latch (120) which slides on and along the engaging part (122) of the rotational shaft (104) when the cam (113) is rotated by said handle operation, and which causes the cam (113) to rotate together with the rotational shaft (104) in engagement with the engaging part (122) of the rotational shaft when the rotational shaft is rotated in one and the same direction by the motor driving.
