摘要:
A vacuum switch having two main electrodes encased in a vacuum vessel to be operable in opening and closing the main electrodes, is provided with a contact piece made of a copper-chromium alloy secured or formed on at least one of the main electrodes. The operational property of the main electrodes is substantially improved by flowing and interrupting an electric current of a predetermined current density for a number of times through the two main electrodes for improving surface condition of the contact piece by forming a recrystallized layer over the outer surface of the contact piece.

A DC circuit breaker of the type using a blown arc-extinguishing gas is disclosed which allows for reliable fast interruption of DC currents through the provision of arc extension current paths. The extension current paths are relatively long and are bent after the incidence of the arc-extinguishing gas on the arc. The arc is formed to extend for a long distance in a loop configuration. An auxiliary electrode short-circuits the extended arc with one auxiliary electrode being provided for each extension current path.

A DC circuit breaker apparatus comprises a first interrupter and a second interrupter connected in series. A first capacitor and a discharge gap are respectively connected in parallel with the first and second interrupters. An impedance element is connected between a first junction between the first capacitor and the discharge gap and a second function between the first and second interrupter, and a second capacitor is connected in parallel with the second interrupter.
