摘要 |
The present invention relates to a high-voltage circuit breaker capable of cutting off alternating fault currents of period T and with delayed zero crossing, passing through zero after a maximum time delay tzmax-t0 after the instant t0 of appearance of the fault, comprising a plurality of first cutoff chambers (1) in series each provided, at their terminals, with a distribution capacitor (2) of the same capacitance and equipped with means (3) for opening at an instant t1 later than the instant of appearance of the fault t0. It comprises at least one supplementary cutoff chamber (4) in series, equipped with means (6) for opening at an instant t2 after the instant of the fault t0 lying between tzmax-T and tzmax+T, the said supplementary cutoff chamber (4) being provided, at its terminals, with a distribution capacitor (5) having the same capacitance as the distribution capacitors (2) of the said first chambers (1). <IMAGE>
