Air circuit breaker having arc cover

Abstract

Disclosed is an air circuit breaker having an arc cover, capable of preventing a secondary accident caused by arc generation. The air circuit breaker, according to one aspect of the present disclosure, may comprise: an operation unit in which arc is generated by the operation of a movable contact with respect to a stationary contact; an extinguishing unit which is installed on the upper part of the operation unit and primarily extinguishes the arc; and an arc cover which is installed on the upper part of the extinguishing unit, has a chamber formed, enabling the retention of high-temperature gas which has passed through the extinguishing unit, and has at least one or more guide panels partitioning the inside of the chamber into a plurality of sections and having an opening on one side, thereby enabling the high-temperature gas to flow along a flow path guided by the guide panels and be discharged through an outlet in a first direction.
