Latest Patents
Frink's most significant patent is for a "Multiple arc region SF.sub.6 puffer circuit interrupter." This invention features a puffer-type compressed-gas circuit-interrupter that includes a tubular stationary and at least two movable contacts. These contacts are designed to draw at least two arcs within at least two regions in the interrupter. The two regions are interconnected by a series of insulating flow guides, tubular contacts, and an insulating nozzle, which leads to a single fluid motor. During the contact opening, after a predetermined portion of the opening travel of the interrupter, the motor provides a blast of puffer gas that extinguishes the arcs. This innovative design enhances the reliability and efficiency of circuit interruption.
