Abstract
An interrupter includes: an intermittent member having a meshing tooth meshing with a second rotary member, and moving in an axial direction between a coupled position and an uncoupled position; and an actuator making the intermittent member move in the axial direction. The actuator includes: a coil generating magnetic flux; and a plunger moving with the intermittent member in the axial direction. The plunger is disposed in a manner capable of making relative rotation to one of the first and second rotary members via first and second air gaps. When the coil is energized, the magnetic flux is introduced to the plunger from one of the first and second air gaps, the magnetic flux is led out of the plunger to the other air gap, and the plunger moves in the axial direction so as to reduce at least one air gap of the first and second air gaps.
