[0002] The existing circuit breaker includes a moving contact and a stationary contact. For an air circuit breaker applied to a large-current circuit, an arc is generated at the moment when the moving contact and the stationary contact are disconnected. If the arc is not eliminated in time, an explosion or a fire may be caused.

The electric contact includes a static contact and a moving contact. Both the static contact and the moving contact include a contact seat, a main contact, and an auxiliary arc contact. A path groove is formed on the contact seat at a preset angle in the circumferential direction, and the path grooves on the contact seats of the static contact and the moving contact are in the same direction. The main contact is disc-shaped. The main contact and the auxiliary arc contact are arranged on the same side of the contact seat, and the auxiliary arc contact is located outside the main contact. When the main contacts of the static contact and the moving contact are closed, the auxiliary arc contacts of the static contact and the moving contact are gap-matched.

However, in the above-mentioned technology, the point contact of the device is in contact for a long time, and the arc-ablation resistance cannot achieve good arc-extinguishing effect. The arc-ablation may cause high temperature and reduce the service life of the main contact.

[0030] The top of the moving contacts 9 is fixedly connected with a moving conducting rod 7, the outside of the moving conducting rod 7 is sleeved with a limiting spring 8, and the two ends of the limiting spring 8 are fixedly connected with the mounting cylinder 2 and the moving conducting rod 7 respectively;

[0032] In the embodiment, the double moving contact points 10 and the double stationary contact points 12 share the arc energy, so that when the moving contacts 9 and the stationary contacts 11 are separated, the arc energy is shared by the moving contact points 10 and the stationary contact points 12 on both sides, which is relatively reduced, thereby facilitating better arc extinguishing operation.
