HIGH VOLTAGE PUFFER BREAKER AND A CIRCUIT BREAKER UNIT COMPRISING SUCH A PUFFER BREAKER

摘要

Gas-insulated high voltage puffer breaker (1) comprising a puffer unit (3) with a movable piston (4) running in a puffer cylinder (5) and delimiting a puffer volume (6). A piston (4) and a first contact member (2) are attached to a piston stem (9). An electric arc is extinguishable in an arcing zone (13) when the first contact member (2) moves from a first position to a second position. The puffer volume (6) is fluidly connected to a gas nozzle (12) by a gas channel (14) such that the puffer volume (6) comprises the gas channel (14) as well as a portion (15) of the puffer cylinder (5). The gas channel (14) is provided radially outside of the puffer (5) cylinder between a puffer cylinder wall (17) delimiting the puffer cylinder (5) and a wall structure (18) of the puffer unit (3).
