Abstract
Abstract A pressurized gas-insulated circuit breaker includes a substantially tubular encapsulating housing having ends, a plurality of circuit breaker poles in phases, at least one of which is disposed in the encapsulating housing, and current feed lines. Each line leading to a respective one of the circuit breaker poles. Current discharge lines each lead from a respective one of the circuit breaker poles. The current feed and discharge lines to and from each respective circuit breaker pole being disposed at the same one of the ends of the encapsulating housing. Supplemental conductors are each disposed in the encapsulating housing and are each extending parallel to and forming a U-shape with a respective one of the circuit breaker poles.
