ABSTRACT:
The compressed-gas breaker exhibits two contact members (3; 11, 12, 13), of which one (11, 12, 13) is constructed as a nozzle, and an insulating nozzle (5) and a heating volume (8) for storing switching-arc-generated compressed gas.
This breaker is intended to be distinguished by a high pressure buildup in the heating volume (8) and a great thermal quenching capacity.
This is achieved by a multi-part construction of the contact member (11, 12, 13) acting as a nozzle. In particular, this contact member (11, 12, 13) exhibits a tubular body (13), which is axially displaceably conducted in a contact carrier (11), of erosion-resistant contact material, which, during interruption, forms the nozzle constriction (19) of this contact member (11, 12, 13) while under the action of a spring (15).
