CIRCUIT BREAKERS FOR HEAVY CURRENTS

摘要

The circuit breaker comprises two coaxial conductor elements each having a free end in a same transverse plane, an annular hollow between these two elements, a conductive plate applied against the ends of the two conductors and explosive means to apply high pressure on the plate, which cuts off or bursts this plate at the zone of the hollow. An explosable element is mounted in parallel on the plate.
