Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a circuit breaker, in particular to a circuit breaker with enhanced insulation effect. Background Art

[0002] Ordinary circuit breakers are equipped with an arc extinguishing chamber. Although the arc extinguishing chamber can handle most of the arcs, there will still be free arcs that are not handled. Therefore, an insulating cover is set on one side of the arc extinguishing chamber. There is a copper busbar running through the insulating cover. The free arc can easily fall on the copper busbar, which can easily cause an external short circuit of the product, a short circuit to the ground or between phases. The insulation between phases and between phases and ground of the product is very important. For example, the patent with application number 02142955.3 and the name of "Circuit Breaker and Method for Interrupting Current Therein" has no treatment in the insulating cover and on the upper part of the copper busbar of some circuit breakers on the market, or only a baffle structure is made at the screw to prevent the arc from falling on the copper busbar. This type of circuit breaker is difficult to apply to high-voltage circuit breaker products. How to enhance the insulation effect is the technical problem we need to solve now. Utility Model Content
