Abstract:
A vacuum interrupter for a vacuum breaker comprising:a vacuum container which is sealed so as to be vacuum state therein; a stationary cylinder electrode fixed on upper part of the vacuum container so as to be sealed and connected to electric source; a stationary disc electrode, in which a plurality of slits extended from positions dividing an outer circumferential surface into three parts as predetermined angles toward positions eccentric as predetermined angles from center, connected to the stationary cylinder electrode mechanically and electrically inside the vacuum container, and a plurality of electric paths formed by the slits in order to form a vertical magnetic field are included; a stationary contact plate connected to the stationary disc electrode; a first shielding plate installed between the stationary disc electrode and the stationary contact plate in order to break the stationary disc electrode and the stationary contact plate electrically and magnetically; a plurality of first conductive pins installed on outer positions than the first shielding plate between the stationary disc electrode and the stationary contact plate in order to connect the stationary disc electrode and the stationary contact plate electrically; a movable contact plate installed so as to face the stationary contact plate and movable between positions of contacting to the stationary contact plate and separating from the stationary contact plate; a movable disc electrode connected to the movable contact plate electrically, wherein a plurality of slits extended from positions dividing the outer circumferential surface into three parts as predetermined angle toward the positions of eccentric from the center as predetermined angle are included, and a plurality of electric paths formed by the slits in order to form one vertical magnetic field by compounding a magnetic field formed by the stationary disc electrode and a magnetic field formed by a plurality of electric paths of electric current flowing to same direction as the electric current flowing on the electric path of the disc electrode are included; a second shielding plate installed between the movable disc electrode and the movable contact plate for shielding the movable disc electrode and the movable contact plate electrically and magnetically; a plurality of second conductive pins installed on outer positions than the shielding plate between the movable disc electrode and the movable contact plate in order to connect the movable disc electrode and the movable contact plate electrically; a movable cylinder electrode connected to the movable disc electrode electrically and mechanically, connected to electric load, and installed on lower part of the vacuum container so as to be sealed; a second stationary disc electrode which is installed between the stationary disc electrode and the stationary contact plate, and comprises a plurality of slits extended from positions which divide an outer circumferential surface as predetermined angle towards positions which are eccentric as predetermined angles from center part and a plurality of electric paths formed by the slits in order to form one vertical magnetic field compounded with the vertical magnetic field formed by the stationary disc electrode; and a second movable disc electrode which is installed between the movable disc electrode and the movable contact plate, and comprises a plurality of slits extended from positions which divide an outer circumferential surface as predetermined angle towards positions which are eccentric as predetermined angles from center part and a plurality of electric paths formed by the slits in order to form a vertical magnetic field which is additionally compounded with the compounded vertical magnetic field formed by the stationary disc electrode, the second stationary disc electrode, and by the movable disc electrode.
