ABSTRACT:
A vacuum-type circuit interrupter is provided having a two-material vapor, or condensing shield for providing a high-conductivity material, such as copper, for the part that is exposed to the arc, and a superior high-voltage material, such as stainless steel, for the ends of the vapor or condensing shield.
Preferably, since the ends of the vapor shield are the origins of high-electric-field intensity, which may result in arcing in a vacuum, to avoid this, a superior high-voltage material, such as stainless steel, is provided.
