ABSTRACT:
A vacuum arc interrupter that includes a vacuum chamber assembly and a pressure chamber assembly. The vacuum chamber assembly includes a vacuum chamber and a first conductor which is structured to be coupled to a circuit. The first conductor is disposed within the vacuum chamber. The pressure chamber assembly has a second conductor structured to be coupled to a ground, a pressure chamber, a gas generation device and a bullet assembly. The pressure chamber assembly disposed adjacent to the vacuum chamber assembly. The gas generation device coupled to, and in fluid communication with the pressure chamber. The bullet assembly is disposed in the pressure chamber and structured to move between a first position, where the bullet assembly is spaced from the first and second conductors, and a second position, where the bullet assembly contacts, and is in electrical communication with, the first and second conductors.
