ARC-SUPPRESSING GAS BLAST IN PYROTECHNIC DISCONNECT

摘要

A pyrotechnic disconnect comprises: a housing with at least a combustion chamber therein; a pyrotechnic charge in the combustion chamber; a busbar covering an opening of the combustion chamber, the busbar configured to be severed by activation of the pyrotechnic charge; and an exhaust port from the housing, the exhaust port configured to allow gas from the activation of the pyrotechnic charge to help suppress an electric arc formed by the severing of the busbar.
