HIGH VOLTAGE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH RAPID RESPONSE TRIPPING MEANS

摘要

A high voltage electric circuit breaker comprising a high potential tank mounted atop an insulating column. Opening of the circuit breaker is initiated by an operator located atop the insulating column in a housing filled with high dielectric strength fluid. The operator is maintained at ground potential by electroconductive structure extending vertically through the column between the operator and the base of the column. The operator is connected to control means within the high potential tank by a short operating rod of insulating material that extends through said dielectric fluid.
