SWITCHING DEVICE BODY Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC H01H9/34 

FIELD: electricity.

SUBSTANCE: switching device body comprises two sides with screw clamps for external load, with current splitters, a mechanism of free splitting and a contact device. A body has a path of an electric arc with two buses of electric arc displacement. Between end sections of buses there is an arc-quenching chamber from a group of arc-quenching plates, to which a chamber adjoins to blow an arc with a hole for arc blowing. Between an arc-quenching chamber and an arc-blowing chamber there are solid guide ribs, and inside the arc-blowing chamber there are solid walls shaped to body sides. A hole for arc blowing is arranged on the plane formed by a plane arranged at the angle α<90° to the setting plane of the body. Guide ribs shaped to one and the other side of the body are arranged as a whole, at least with some of solid walls shaped to the body side. At least some of the walls shaped to one and the other side of the body have sections, which are arranged in parallel to the setting plane of the body, and sections are arranged perpendicularly to the setting plane of the body.

EFFECT: higher reliability of a switching device due to elimination of arc blowing hole closing with dirt and dust particles, as a result of higher intensity of ionised gases cooling without increased dimensions of a body.
