Abstract: A separable contact structure is provided for a compressed gas circuit interrupter involving a differential blast valve cooperating with an orifice chamber, or an interrupter chamber, to direct the gas flow during the opening operation. The construction is such that a contact follower initially follows the opening movement of the movable contact, until it is picked up and retracted by the opening movement of a differentially acting blast valve. Subsequently, upon a pressure equalization, the spring-biased blast valve recloses, carrying with it the contact follower, so that in the fully open circuit position of the interrupter the blast valve is closed, and the arc horn follower is extended. Contact is initially made between the movable contact and the extended contact follower contact during the closing stroke. Such structure eliminates erosion on the main stationary contact fingers, and, additionally, simplifies the actuation of the blast valve structure.

Abstract: A high-voltage, high-power compressed-gas circuit interrupter is provided utilizing a grounded metal tank having a gas disposed therein at a relatively low pressure, say, for example 45 p.s.i. A pair of serially related arc-extinguishing units are supported within the metallic grounded tank and utilize a blast of gas directed through an orifice to bring about the extinction of the two series arcs simultaneously. A supporting structure disposed within the tank has lateral supports to properly locate the blast valve and contact housing associated with each arc-extinguishing unit. Additionally, the supporting structure supports an operating cylinder to accommodate a movable piston secured to the moving contact of each interrupter. Terminal bushings are provided at the upper end of the metallic tank and are easily dismantled therefrom by a contact stud and terminal bushing finger arrangement, which easily separates and permits dismantlement at the upper mounting flange portions of the tank for inspection. The high pressure reservoir may be accommodated at the upper end of the tank between the two terminal bushings.

Abstract: An oil-type circuit breaker has three poles provided in a unitary tank structure, each pole comprising a pair of serially related grid structures. The grid structures are constructed by nesting a plurality of plate elements, constituting vent passages and oil pockets, within an outer cylindrical glass-filament-wound shell. The stationary contact assembly is so arranged as to have a lengthened finger, which serves as an arcing horn disposed adjacent side lateral vent openings. The vent openings are formed by molded vent elements of particular materials and having a splitter plate interposed therebetween. Additional oil pockets and a lower oil-pocket plug, having an entrance opening, assist in guiding the movable contact rod, and additionally providing considerable turbulence within the oil during the opening operation.
