AN INTERRUPTING APPARATUS FOR A SET OF BUSBARS IN A METAL-CLAD SUBSTATION

摘要

Interrupting apparatus for interrupting conduction through a metal-clad busbar, said busbar having an inlet busbar portion (2A) and an outlet busbar portion (2B)aligned on an axis called the busbar axis (3), said interrupting apparatus having a two-pole interrupting member (1) making it possible to interrupt the passage of current between the inlet busbar portion (2A) and the outlet busbar portion (2B), said interrupting member (1) having a metal cladding with a longitudinal axis (4), whose direction is substantially inclined with respect to the direction of busbar axis (3), said interrupting member (1) having an inlet terminal (1A) and an outlet terminal (1B) respectively electrically connected to the inlet busbar portion (1A) and the outlet busbar portion (2B) by an electrical connection member, each terminal (1A, IB) of said interrupting member and one end of said electrical connecting members (5A, 5B) extending a busbar portion (2A, 2B) corresponding to said terminal (1A, IB), defining a straight line substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis (4), each of said electrically connection members (5A, 5B) extending each busbar portion (2A, 2B), having a longitudinal axis (YA, YB) defining with the busbar axis (3) a plane substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis (4) of said interrupting member (1), characterized in that said longitudinal axis (YA, YB) of each electrical connection member (5A, 5B) being perpendicular to said busbar axis (3).
