AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing arc-extinguishing chambers, electric arcs tend to accumulate at the front arc-extinguishing grid, leading to excessive heat and reducing the service life of the arc-extinguishing chamber.

Method used

A baffle is installed in part of the gap of the first arc-extinguishing grid plate group in the arc-extinguishing chamber to partially block the gas guide channel, change the gas flow direction, and make the gas carry the electric arc back into the arc guide channel, reduce the direct impact on the front arc-extinguishing grid plate, and guide the electric arc to penetrate into the rear grid plate for cutting.

Benefits of technology

It significantly reduces the risk of front-end burn-out, improves the utilization rate of the back-end arc-extinguishing grid, extends the service life of the arc-extinguishing chamber, and optimizes the arc-extinguishing efficiency.
