Abstract
A direct current interrupter comprising a plurality of two-point interrupter units each including a pair of interrupting portions. The interrupting portions of the interrupter units are arranged at regular angular intervals on a circle with the axial line of the interrupter as its center and arranged parallel to the axial line. An input terminal is provided to supply shunted current to one interrupting portion of each interrupter unit. An output terminal is provided to receive the shunted current from the other interrupting portion of each interrupter unit. A first common connecting portion and a second common connecting portion near the axial line. The main current flows through a conductor line from the main current input terminal to the first common connecting portion and shunted. The shunted current is supplied to the input terminal of each interrupter unit, flows through the two interrupting portions of the interrupter unit in the opposite directions, and is delivered from the output terminal of the interrupter unit. The shunted current flows through the second common connecting portion and delivered from the main current output terminal.
