Description
Elektrischer Kontakt für Gleichstrom-Unterbrecher. Bei Apparaten, die in raschem Wechsel einen elektrischen Gleichstrom unterbrechen, zum Beispiel Funkeninduktoren, Tastkoritakt- regler, unterliegen die den Strom unterbrechen den Kontaktflächen häufigen Störungen, die durch die nie gänzlich zu vermeidenden Unterbrechungsfunken hervorgerufen werden.
Die bei Verwendung der meisten unedlen Metalle auftretenden gänzlichen Stromunter brechung, infolge Bildung nicht leitender Oxydbeschläge auf den Kontaktflächen, wurde bekanntlich dadurch zu vermeiden versucht, dass man die Kontaktstellen aus Edelmetallen (zum Beispiel Platin) oder Metallen, deren Oxyde den Strom metallisch leiten (Wolfram legierungen) verfertigte. Es zeigte sich dabei jedoch der Übelstand, dass sich auf der Kathode der kontaktgebenden Fläche ein dornähnlicher Ansatz bildete, während sich die Anode kraterförmig aushöhlte. Diese Er scheinung wird ebenfalls durch den Unter brechungsfunken verursacht, indem dieser etwas Metall verflüchtigt und auf der Katho denfläche ablagert bezw. aufschweisst.
Dieser beim Stromdurchgang sich stark erwärmende Dorn verschweisst sich bald auch mit der Anode, wodurch der . Strom dauernd ge schlossen bleibt. Diesem Übelstand hat man durch einen von Zeit zu Zeit stattfindenden Polwechsel zu begegnen gesucht. Dieser Pol wechsel bedingt aber eine besondere Wartung des Stromunterbrechers oder eine besondere, umständliche Einrichtung an demselben.
Vorliegender Erfindung gemäss werden die genannten Schwierigkeiten dadurch über wunden, dass man die den Unterbrechungs funken ausgesetzten Kontaktflächen aus sich miteinander nicht legierenden Stromleitern, zum Beispiel aus sich nicht legierenden Me tallen (Silber und Chrom) oder Metallegie rungen (Chrom + Wolfram), hergestellt. Es kann auch mindestens die Kontakthälfte aus einem leitenden Oxyd (Eisenoxyd, insbeson dere Magneteisenstein) bestehen, das mit der andern Kontakthälfte sich nicht legiert oder sonstwie reagiert.
Es hat sieh gezeigt, dass unter diesen Voraussetzungen keine Ansätze an den Kontakten auftreten; es bilden sich vielmehr genau zusammenpassende Flächen aus, die sich an vielen- Punkten berühren und sehr langsam abnutzen. Zweckmässig schaltet man das Metall mit höherem Schmelz punkt als Anode.
Electrical contact for DC circuit breaker. In devices that interrupt an electrical direct current in rapid alternation, for example spark inductors, touch sensor regulators, those interrupting the current are subject to frequent disturbances caused by the interruption sparks which can never be completely avoided.
The complete power interruption that occurs when most base metals are used, as a result of the formation of non-conductive oxide deposits on the contact surfaces, has been tried to avoid, as is well known, by making the contact points made of noble metals (e.g. platinum) or metals whose oxides conduct the current metallically (tungsten alloys). However, the disadvantage was that a spike-like approach formed on the cathode of the contacting surface, while the anode hollowed out in the shape of a crater. This he apparition is also caused by the interruption spark by this volatilized some metal and deposited respectively on the cathode surface. welds up.
This mandrel, which heats up strongly when the current passes through, soon also welds to the anode, whereby the. Power remains permanently closed. Attempts have been made to counter this evil by changing poles from time to time. However, this pole change requires special maintenance of the circuit breaker or a special, cumbersome device on the same.
According to the present invention, the difficulties mentioned are overcome in that the contact surfaces exposed to the interruption sparks are made from non-alloying conductors, for example from non-alloying metals (silver and chromium) or metal alloys (chromium + tungsten). At least the contact half can also consist of a conductive oxide (iron oxide, in particular magnetic iron stone), which does not alloy itself with the other contact half or react in any other way.
It has shown that under these conditions there are no approaches to the contacts; Rather, exactly matching surfaces are formed which touch at many points and wear out very slowly. It is advisable to switch the metal with a higher melting point than the anode.
