Gas Blast Interrupter

US Patent:
2013002, Jan 24, 2013
Filed:
Jul 20, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/553914
Inventors:
Daniel C. Schiffbauer - Uniontown PA, US
Assignee:
PENNSYLVANIA BREAKER, LLC - Canonsburg PA
International Classification:
H01H 33/04
US Classification:
218 47
Abstract:
A gas-insulated circuit interrupter is disclosed, the interrupter having an improved design for quenching electrical arcs. The interrupter includes a first contact and a second contact configured to alternatively connect to and disconnect from the first contact. One or both of the contacts are at least partially contained in an arcing chamber. The arcing chamber includes the point at which the contacts connect during current-carrying operation of the interrupter. The arcing chamber is at least partially surrounded by a heating chamber for accommodating a quenching gas. A channel connects the heating chamber and the arcing chamber and is positioned to direct the quenching gas toward the first contact and the second contact arcing area. One or more valves direct gas from the arcing chamber to the heating chamber when the interrupter is operated to interrupt a current.

High Voltage Circuit Breaker With Re-Fill Valve

US Patent:
2007024, Oct 18, 2007
Filed:
Apr 13, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/279596
Inventors:
David Johnson - Greensburg PA, US
Daniel Schiffbauer - Uniontown PA, US
International Classification:
H01H 33/88
US Classification:
218066000
Abstract:
A circuit breaker assembly includes a puffer chamber having a nozzle extending from an end, a vent located at or near the end of the puffer chamber, and a vent seal movably positioned over the vent. The vent seal prevents gas from escaping through the vent when the puffer chamber is under pressure, and it permits gas to enter the puffer chamber when the puffer chamber is not under pressure.

Tri-Boss Mounting Device For High-Voltage Circuit Breakers

US Patent:
2007008, Apr 12, 2007
Filed:
Oct 11, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/247503
Inventors:
Jeffry Meyer - Greensburg PA, US
Daniel Schiffbauer - Uniontown PA, US
International Classification:
H01H 33/00
US Classification:
218097000
Abstract:
A gas mounting device is provided for a high voltage circuit breaker operable to be fitted integrally on one end of a tank of the circuit breaker, said mounting device being substantially a ring shape and comprising at least three identical machined entries through the bottom of the ring such that access is obtainable through the mounting device into the tank. The gas mounting device allows for a gas system to be installed in a three phase circuit breaker.

Gas Exhaust For Circuit Breaker

US Patent:
8063335, Nov 22, 2011
Filed:
Jan 3, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/649397
Inventors:
Wolfgang Grieshaber - Lyons, FR
Victor Hermosillo - Bethel Park PA, US
Charles R. Hilland - Mount Pleasant PA, US
Daniel Schiffbauer - Uniontown PA, US
Assignee:
Areva T & D SA - Paris la Defense Cedex
International Classification:
H01H 33/91
US Classification:
218157, 218 52, 218 59
Abstract:
The gas exhaust comprises a generally cylindrical shaped casing closed by a bottom at one end and with openings to allow gas to escape. A duct is arranged in the casing to delimit a central passage inside the duct, and an annular passage surrounding the central passage outside the duct between it and the casing. There is a communication consisting of four holes in the duct close to the bottom to form a communication between the central passage inside the duct and the annular passage. The casing includes two diametrically opposite openings located in a horizontal plane.
