Abstract
A protrusion is formed downstream of the throat of an insulating nozzle of a gas-insulated circuit breaker of puffer type. Quenching gas, after collision with the protrusion, is blown against an arc generated between a fixed arcing contact and a moving arcing contact in the opening process of the gas-insulated circuit breaker. As a result, a pressure drop at or near the forward end (Q) of the fixed arcing contact can be prevented thereby to improve the insulation strength in the opening process.
