Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit breakers, in particular to an arc extinguishing chamber of a circuit breaker. Background Art

[0002] Circuit breakers are a crucial component of electrical distribution equipment, primarily used in industrial low-voltage power systems. They connect and disconnect current in power grid circuits and protect power lines and power equipment from faults such as overloads, undervoltages, short circuits, and single-phase grounding. The circuit breaker's interruption of overload or short-circuit currents is primarily accomplished through the arc extinguishing chamber installed within the circuit breaker. When a fault current exceeds the breaker's set protection range, the trip mechanism activates, rapidly opening the breaker's moving and stationary contacts. The voltage across the moving and stationary contacts then causes a discharge in the air, generating a high-temperature arc. The arc's combustion causes the air temperature within the arc extinguishing device to rise sharply, accelerating air ionization. Furthermore, the arc, driven by the magnetic field and fluid effects within the arc extinguishing chamber, is divided into multiple short arcs by arc-isolating grids. The metal arc-isolating grids enhance the arc's deionization effect, reducing the arc size and rapidly increasing the voltage, ultimately extinguishing the arc.
