2. Structural principle

2-1 Main structure
The circuit breaker adopts integrated and modular design, and the overall structure is simple and
reasonable. It adopts upper and lower settings, with the arc extinguishing chamber part above and the
interlocking and operating mechanism part below. Special spring operating mechanism is used, without
adjustment, and the action is stable and reliable.
The vacuum arc extinguishing chamber of the three-phase conductive circuit of the circuit breaker is
arranged in the closed solid sealing pole column, which not only improves the insulation performance of the
