Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a gas-insulated high or medium voltage circuit breaker (100) including a first arcing contact (101) and a second arcing contact (103), wherein at least one of the two arcing contacts is axially movable including a first and a second state of motion along a switching axis (140), wherein during a breaking operation, an arc between the first arcing contact and the second arcing contact is formed in an arcing region; a nozzle (110) including a channel (112) directed to the arcing region, for blowing an arc-extinguishing gas to the arcing region during the breaking operation; a diffuser adjacent to the nozzle, for transporting the gas from the arcing region to a region downstream of the diffuser; a buffer volume (170) directly downstream of the diffuser, and an enclosure (120) substantially surrounding the buffer volume (170) circumferentially, wherein the enclosure includes an inner enclosure portion (123) and a coaxially arranged outer enclosure portion (121), wherein at least one of the inner portion and the outer portion is movable relative to the other one; and a first aperture (127) provided on a surface of the inner enclosure portion and a second aperture (125) provided on a surface of the outer enclosure portion, such that a through opening is providable through the enclosure (120), wherein in the first state of motion during a breaking operation the through opening is blocked, as to prevent the gas from being released from the buffer volume (170) to a volume outside (180) of the enclosure (120); and in the second state of motion, the first aperture (127) and the second aperture (125) overlap, such that the overlap of the first aperture and the second aperture provides the through opening for the gas to be partially released from the buffer volume (170) to the volume outside (180) of the enclosure.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for interrupting non-short circuit currents only, and in particular relates to a disconnector, more particularly high voltage disconnector, or to an earthing switch, more particularly make-proof earthing switch, and further relates to a low voltage circuit breaker. The device comprises at least two contacts movable in relation to each other between a closed state and an open state and defining an arcing region, in which an arc is generated during a current interrupting operation and in which an arc-quenching medium comprising an organofluorine compound is present. According to the application, a counter-arcing component is allocated to the arcing region, the counter-arcing component being designed for counteracting the generation of an arc and/or being designed for supporting the extinction of an arc.
