Abstract (en)

Medium-voltage circuit-breaker with abutting arcing contacts, comprising, in an insulating envelope (20) filled with a gas having good dielectric properties, a first stationary arcing contact (24, 27), connected to a first current intake (23), and a moving rig comprising a first tube (32) which can be displaced by an operating rod (46), the said first tube being connected by gliding contacts to a second current intake, the said first tube defining, with a second stationary tube (40), a blast volume and being prolonged by a blast nozzle, the said circuit-breaker further comprising a second arcing contact (50, 51) characterised in that the first tube is milled so as to comprise a first part (31) of small diameter and cooperating with the said second tube (40) to constitute the said blast volume (41), and a second part (32), of larger diameter, carrying the said blast nozzle (37), the two parts being connected by a substantially annular portion (33) comprising through-holes (34) and a shoulder (33A) and constituting a blast piston, the said second contact consisting of a third tube (50) sliding inside the said first part (31) of the said first tube, the said third tube comprising a flange (52) on which is supported a first end of a spring (53), a second end of which is supported on the said shoulder (33A), the said spring being taut when the circuit-breaker is in the engaged position. <IMAGE>
