Figure 3. Cutaway View of Vacu u m Interrupter
Vacuum Interrupters
The operating principle of the vacu um interrupter is simple.
Figure 3 is a cutaway view of a typical vacu u m interru pter.
The entire assembly is sea led after a vacu um is established.
The vacu um interrupter stationary contact is connected to
the pole head of the circuit breaker. The vacu u m interrupter
movable contact is connected to the pole bottom and driv
ing mechanism of the circuit breaker. The metal bellows
provide a secure seal around the movable contact, prevent
ing loss of vacu um while permitting vertical motion of the
movable contact.
When th e two contacts separate, an arc is initiated which
continues conduction up to the fol lowing current zero. At
current zero, the arc extinguishes and any cond uctive metal
vapor which has been created by and supported the arc
condenses on the contacts and on the surrounding vapor
shield. Contact materials and configuration are optimized to
achieve arc motion and to minimize switching disturbances.

Phase Barriers
Plates of glass polyester insulating material are attached to
th e circuit breaker and provide suitable e lectrical insu lation
between the vacuum interrupter primary circu its and the
cubicle.
Stored Energy Operating Mechanism
The stored energy operating mechanism of the circuit
breaker is an integrated arrangement of springs, coils and
mechanical devices designed to provide a number of critical
functions. The energy necessary to close and open the con
tacts of the vacu um interrupters is stored in powerful open
ing and closing springs. These springs are normally charged
a utomatically, but there are provisions for manual charging.
The operating mechanism that controls charging, closing
and tripping functions is fully trip-free, i.e., spring charging
does not a utomatically change the position of the primary
contacts, and the closing function may be overridden by the
tripping function at any time.
Vacuum Interrupter/Operator Module
The vacu u m interrupter/operator module consists of the
three poles, each with its vacuu m interrupters and primary
insulators, mounted on the common motor or manually
charged spring stored energy operating mechanism hous
ing. This module is sh own in Figure 4.
