Abstract :
By using the prestored energy of compressed air for the twofold function of circuit interruption and circuit-breaker operation, a new and original oilless circuit interrupter has been evolved. This air-blast circuit breaker has a guillotine-like arc-interrupting characteristic and can be made practically immune to the adverse effects of circuit recovery voltage.
