Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A gas circuit breaker includes a driving side electrode having a driving side main contact and a driving side arc contact, and a driven side electrode having a driven side main contact and a driven side arc contact in a sealed tank. The driving side electrode is connected to an operation device. The driven side electrode is coupled to a bidirectional driving mechanism unit. A sliding guide, on which the driven side main contact slides, is provided on an inner periphery side of the driven side main contact. The driven side main contact is energized by a coil spring in a direction of the sliding guide and has two contact surfaces. Only during normal conduction, one of the contact surfaces contacts a projected portion of the sliding guide and the other of the contact surfaces contacts the driving side main contact.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A gas circuit breaker including a driving side electrode and a driven side electrode provided opposite to each other in a sealed tank, the driving side electrode having a driving side main contact and a driving side arc contact, the driven side electrode having a driven side main contact and a driven side arc contact, the driving side electrode being connected to an operation device, the driven side electrode being coupled to a bidirectional driving mechanism unit, the gas circuit breaker comprising: a sliding guide on which the driven side main contact slides being provided on an inner periphery side of the driven side main contact, wherein the driven side main contact is energized by a coil spring in a direction of the sliding guide, the driven side main contact has two contact surfaces, and only during normal conduction, one of the contact surfaces contacts a projected portion provided to the sliding guide and the other of the contact surfaces contacts the driving side main contact. 2. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein the other of the contact surfaces has a diameter larger than a diameter of the projected portion. 3. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the driven side main contacts is provided in a circumferential direction, and each of the driven side main contacts has the coil spring provided between the driven side main contacts and members covering the driven side main contacts. 4. The gas circuit breaker according to claim 3 , wherein the members covering the driven side main contacts are coupled to the bidirectional driving mechanism unit through a plurality of coupling rods.
