Abstract

An object is to enhance direct-current insulating performance of a gas-blast circuit breaker. The gas-blast circuit breaker includes: a pair of main contacts disposed in a gas tank to face each other and configured to operate for opening and closing a circuit; a pair of arc contacts disposed to face each other and configured to operate for opening and closing the circuit, the arc contacts being disposed coaxially with the main contacts at locations close to the centers of the main contacts, respectively; and an elastic electrically conductive material disposed on an outer surface of an insulating nozzle facing an inner surface of one of the main contacts.
