Arc extinguishing device made of conductive plastic

摘要

The present invention provides a static dissipative composition as a method of removing electric potential from an arc extinguishing device in an electrical distribution device. The inventive composition includes a thermoplastic base resin and an effective amount of a conductive modifier to exhibit static dissipative properties and remove electric potential from the arc extinguishing device of an electrical distribution device. Arc extinguishing devices for use in circuit breakers and the like are made of these inventive compositions.
