FIELD: electricity.
SUBSTANCE: flexible shunt is designed to provide a pathway between movable electrode segment and terminal of the main circuit in vacuum circuit breaker. Flexible shunt contains a pair of conductive plates. Each plate contains the following: connecting area of clamp configured as a flat conductive element connected to clamp; connecting area of terminal segment configured as a flat conductive element connected to terminal segment; flexible arched area capable to connect connecting area of clamp to connecting area of terminal segment. Flexible arched area is configured in the medium part of each conductive plate so that it can protrude outside before installation of a flexible shunt in vacuum circuit breaker.
EFFECT: decreasing shunt length in straight lines and improving its flexibility even with increased thickness within the range of allocated space for placement of the main circuit.
