Elektrisk brytare, samt anläggning, användning ochförfarande där sådan utnyttjas

摘要

The invention relates to an electric circuit breaker. The circuit breaker comprises at least one mobile contact with operating means (2) for operating the same. An electric motor (6) is arranged for driving the operating means (2). The motor (6) is powered from a current source (50) via a current converter (40). According to the invention, the motor (6) and/or current converter (40) are greatly under-dimensioned in relation to the output the current converter is designed to deliver. This is possible because the operating duration is so brief. Under-dimensioning results in extensive cost-savings. The invention also relates to an electric plant equipped with such a circuit breaker. The invention further relates to the use of such a circuit breaker and a method for breaking electric current in the corresponding fashion.
