摘要:
Disclosed is a heavy-duty circuit breaker featuring arc blow-out. Said circuit breaker comprises a hot gas-sensitive and/or gas pressure-sensitive element (10) that is protected from a hot gas flow (8) by means of a seal (1). Advantageously, said seal (1) is embodied as a movable contactless seal (1). The seal (1) is preferably provided with a means (2a) for generating a partial hot gas flow (8a) of the hot gas flow (3), a means (2) for reducing the mass flow rate of the partial hot gas flow (8a), and a means (3) for expanding the volume of the partial hot gas flow (8a). The mass flow reducing means (2) is advantageously configured as a duct (2) while the expanding means (3) is advantageously embodied as a pressure relief chamber (3). The element (10) can be a guiding element, a contacting element, or a sealing element, for example.

摘要:
Disclosed is a heavy-duty circuit breaker comprising an axis (A) by means of which an axial coordinate (z) that runs parallel to said axis and a radial coordinate (r) which extends perpendicular thereto are defined, an arcing contact piece (1), a current conducting element (2), and an arc-resistant element (3a). The arcing contact piece (1) is provided with a hole (6) for directing a substantially axial flow (4) of a gas (4) that is heated by an arc (5) which is based on the arcing contact piece (1) if applicable. Additionally, the arcing contact piece (1) forms a planar contact (F) along with the current conducting element (2) in order to conduct a fault current (I) that flows through the arcing contact piece (1) and the current conducting element (2) during the time the arc (5) burns. The current conducting element (2) is essentially shielded from the flow (4) near the planar contact (F) with the aid of the arc-resistant element (3a). The inventive heavy-duty circuit breaker is characterized in that the current conducting element (2) is provided with an axial area (2a) in which a radial inner dimension (d2) of the current conducting element increases step by step or continuously as the distance from the planar contact (F) increases parallel to the axis (A). The axial area (2a) is advantageously provided for accommodating the arc-resistant element (3a).
