Abstract
In an insulated type switchgear device in which a pair of arc electrodes are separably disposed in an opposing manner in a vacuum tube, and having a movable conductor extending from a back face of a movable one of the arc electrodes to the outside of the vacuum tube, the pair of arc electrodes are designed to be separated through a rotation of the movable conductor around a predetermined main axis. The movable arc electrode is structured in such a manner that an electrode center of the movable arc electrode, when the movable arc electrode is brought into its circuit breaking position, is to be located near a center axis of the stationary arc electrode, whereby the center of the movable arc electrode is offset from the center axis of the stationary arc electrode when the pair of arc electrodes are brought into their circuit making position, and whereby an insulation type switchgear device is provided which suppresses a possible offsetting of arc electrodes at a circuit breaking position thereof, improves circuit breaking performance thereof, and permits downsizing thereof.
