Abstract:
1. An electrode assembly for a vacuum interrupter, the electrode assembly comprising: a plurality of electrode plates comprising a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate each comprising a plurality of slits and a plurality of fixing recesses; a plurality of coil conductors disposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, a coil conductor of the plurality of coil conductors comprising a first coil-side fixing recess on a first side facing the first electrode plate and a second coil-side fixing recess on a second side facing the second electrode plate; a plurality of conductor connection pins disposed between the first electrode plate and the plurality of coil conductors and between the second electrode plate and the plurality of coil conductors to define a conductive path of a current; a plurality of supporting members disposed between the first electrode plate and the plurality of coil conductors and between the second electrode plate and the plurality of coil conductors; a first supporting member of the plurality of supporting members secured between the first coil-side fixing recess and a corresponding one of the plurality of fixing recesses of the first electrode plate; and a second supporting member of the plurality of supporting members secured between the second coil-side fixing recess and another corresponding one of the plurality of fixing recesses of the second electrode plate, wherein the first supporting member of the plurality of supporting members and the second supporting member of the plurality of supporting members are partially overlapped when projected in an axial direction.
