Abstract
In a high-voltage circuit breaker having an interrupter unit that can be actuated mechanically and that can be driven by a switch rod made of an insulating material, it is provided that the switch rod has at least two segments that are pushed into one another in partially overlapping telescoping fashion and that are connected with one another, the region in which the segments overlap one another and/or the segment having the larger outer diameter being arranged in the region of the greatest mechanical loading of the switch rod.
Claims7
A high-voltage circuit breaker, comprising:
- a mechanically actuated interrupter unit;
- a switch mechanism;
- a switch rod made of an insulating material and being at least partially hollow, the switch rod being associated with the interrupter unit and the switch mechanism, the switch rod being configured to transmit a drive motion in an axial direction, the switch rod including at least two segments that are pushed into one another in a partially overlapping telescoping fashion, the at least two segments being connected to one another, at least one of:
- i) a region in which the at least two segments overlap one another being arranged in a region where the switch rod tends to buckle as the result of a mechanical loading, and ii) a first one of the at least two segments having a larger diameter being arranged in the region where the switch rod tends to buckle as the result of the mechanical loading.
