Abstract
A puffer type gas circuit breaker includes arc extinguishing gas filled in the interior of the gas circuit breaker, fixed contact, a movable contact disposed in an opposed relationship with respect to the fixed contact so as to come into contact therewith, a fixed piston and a drive shaft slidably extends through the fixed piston, and drives the movable contact toward and away from the fixed contact. A puffer cylinder is slidably fitted on the fixed piston, with the puffer cylinder cooperating with the fixed piston to define a puffer chamber, within the puffer cylinder. An outer cylinder is mounted on an outer periphery of the puffer cylinder to form a thermal puffer chamber outside the puffer cylinder. A cover covers an outer surface of the movable contact, with a first insulating nozzle surrounding the cover to form a first gas flow passage for guiding the arc extinguishing gas from the puffer chamber to an arc generating portion. A second insulating nozzle surrounds the first insulating nozzle to form a second gas flow passage for guiding the arc extinguishing gas from the thermal puffer chamber to the arc generating portion.
