A preferred embodiment of an interrupter assembly for a circuit breaker
includes a first contact, a conductor, and a second contact mounted on
the conductor. The second contact and the conductor are movable in
relation to the first contact between a first position wherein the first
and the second contacts are in electrical contact, and a second position.
The interrupter assembly also includes a body having a first and a second
half each having a plurality of recesses formed therein. The recesses
form chambers within the body for holding insulating fluid when the first
and the second halves are mated. The body receives the second contact and
the conductor so that the conductor and the second contact are drawn
through the chambers as the second contact moves from the first to the
second position.
