Abstract:
A mechanical breaker apparatus for breaking an electric circuit comprises two electrodes that are movable relative to each other, and including an electric arc splitter device having a multitude of distinct conductive elements that are spaced apart and electrically insulated relative to one another. The splitter device has a first portion and a second portion that are movable relative to each other between: an electrical contact position; and a spaced-apart position of the two portions. The splitter device has at least one series of the distinct conductive elements that, in an electrically closed position of the electrodes of the mechanical apparatus, are arranged along the continuous electrically-conductive path for the nominal electric current through the apparatus as defined by the two portions of the splitter device in the electrical contact position.

Claim (Index 1):
A mechanical breaker apparatus for a high voltage or very high voltage electric circuit, the mechanical breaker apparatus comprising:\n two electrodes that are to be connected electrically respectively to an upstream portion and to a downstream portion of the electric circuit, the two electrodes being movable relative to each other in an opening movement between at least one electrically open position and at least one electrically closed position in which they make a nominal electrical connection of the apparatus, said nominal electric current serving to pass a nominal electric current through the mechanical breaker apparatus; an electric arc splitter device having a multitude of distinct conductive elements that, for at least one active state of the splitter device, are spaced apart and electrically insulated from one another so as to define, in a surrounding insulating fluid, a multitude of successive distinct individual free paths in which electric arcs can be struck on opening and/or closing the electric circuit, the pressure of the fluid being greater than 3 bars absolute; a first portion and a second portion, at least one of which is movable relative to the other with a relative spacing movement between:\n at least one electrical contact position of the two portions defining a continuous electrically-conductive path for the nominal electric current through the mechanical breaker apparatus; and \n at least one spaced-apart position of the two portions; \n wherein the splitter device includes at least one series of distinct conductive elements that are arranged along the continuous electrically-conductive path as defined by the two portions of the splitter device in the electrical contact position for passing the nominal electric current through the mechanical breaker apparatus.
