Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2285889A] A circuit breaker 1 comprises an enclosed arc chamber 50 into which arc gases generated on tripping of the breaker under load are exhausted. The arc chamber 50 is defined by a longitudinal dividing wall 51 in a housing defined by a base and cover, a portion of the rear wall of the housing and a transverse dividing wall 53. The am gases enter the chamber 50 through an aperture 52 and are prevented from exiting the breaker. This eliminates cross-phasing in the load centre in which the circuit breaker is mounted. <IMAGE>
