A vacuum power interrupter is constituted by a vacuum vessel (21) consisting of a bell shaped metal casing (20) having substantially the same coefficient of thermal expansion as that of ceramic, and an insulating circular end plate (19, 19a), having a circular bore (24) in the center thereof, hermetically brazed to the opening end of the casing. The vacuum power interrupter comprises stationary and movable contact rods (38, 35), each having an electrical contact (22, 23) on the one end thereof, aligned in the axial direction of the vacuum vessel so that the latter is movable relative to the former, an arc-shield member (30) disposed within the vacuum vessel so as to surround electrical contacts, and a bellows (33) having one end hermetically brazed to the one end of the movable contact rod, and the other end hermetically brazed to the inner circumferential surface of the insulating end plate through an annular extended portion of the arc-shield member. |
