Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
Abstract of EP0022708
1. Arc quencher chamber for multi-pole low-tension circuit breaker with moulded insulating casing (12) comprising per pole : - a pair of separable stationary (20) and movable (22) contacts, - a driving mechanism for moving between the open and closed positions the movable contact (22), - metal plates (24) for cooling the arc drawn between said contacts when they separate upon tripping of said circuit breaker, - an extinction gas venting opening (38) provided in the casing (12) near the output of the chamber (16), - a deionizing device (40) located near said venting opening for cooling the extinction gas blown outsides, characterized by the fact that the deionizing device comprises a monobloc venting screen (41) with a porous structure formed by balls or corns agglomerated by a sintering or heating process and having a size included between 0,5 mm and 1,5 mm corresponding to a predetermined granulometry of said porous structure having extinction gas venting intervals, the ball material comprising a metal or an alloy.
