Abstract
An interrupter unit of a high-voltage circuit breaker has two arcing contacts, between which an arc is formed in the event of switch-off. A nozzle made of insulating material is provided for blowing out the arc. The nozzle made of insulating material is screwed together with a cylindrical component of the interrupter unit using a thread. In order to secure the thread, a connection piece is provided, which can be inserted in or set on the nozzle made of insulating material, and has a knurling, which can be pressed into the nozzle made of insulating material.
Claims2
An interrupter unit of a high-voltage circuit breaker comprising:
- a cylindrical component;
- at least two arcing contacts;
- a hollow cylindrical nozzle coupled to the cylindrical component for blowing out an arc that may form between the at least two arcing contacts, the nozzle being composed of an insulating material and including at least one of an internal thread and an external thread for coupling to the cylindrical component, the nozzle further including a lateral surface situated opposite the at least one of the internal thread and the external thread;
- and
- a connection piece connectable to the interrupter unit and supporting the nozzle on the lateral surface of the nozzle, a side of the connection piece having a knurling thereon for securing the nozzle against twisting.
