Embodiment
In following embodiment, for the element use same reference numerals of identical or identical work.
According to embodiment, consumers 5 has special significance for effective working method of short-circuit device.The purpose of optimizing short-circuit device is the closing motion and the very little load of switch element that realize that main contact electrode is fast as far as possible.Except the contact stand-off distance, be moved the contact quality, effectively the reaction, the closing motion speed of main contacts is also mainly determined by the power-displacement stroke indicatrix (Kraft-Weg-Kennlinie) of employed spring 4.Starting force is big more under the tensioned state, and remaining force is big more under the short-circuiting device closure state, and the closing time of main contacts is just short more.
The quality and the spring force that are moved the contact for good and all act on the consumers under tensioned state, and require certain mechanical strength.
On the other hand, consumers should be as far as possible be transshipped because the energy supply is very little, and causes corresponding main contacts, the i.e. desired motion of contact electrode separately.Commutated the current to main contacts up to fault current, switch element is loaded with fault current.This load is more little, and the cost that is used for switch element just can be held more little.Except the cost and protection of switch element, the quick overload of consumers also is used for reducing apace the impedance of short circuit paths, because realized the simple metal short circuit after the main contacts closure.Therefore, the impedance of switch element and the arc impedance that exists in addition under the possibility situation and the resistance of ohmic properties basically of consumers are eliminated from faulty circuit.
Consumers according to the present invention has following characteristic.Fusing integration (the I of material 2The t value) very little, so that the load of switch element minimizes.Consumers has high conductivity, so that minimize commutating period, and has high mechanical strength, using high-tension, thereby desirably reduces the run duration of contact electrode.In addition, when damaging, consumers only has very little arc voltage, to realize short commutating period.React on the power of mechanical movement, increase as the pressure that produces and avoided or reduce.Design the especially damage relation of the material of open circles tubular like this, the promptly feasible influence that does not produce the mechanical movement of contact electrode.
As shown in figs. 1 and 2, consumers 5 is constructed to the hollow cylinder of thin-walled.Steel or ferroalloy are owing to the high material that is particularly suitable for as hollow cylinder of mechanical strength.Have the material of high unit fusing integrated value, under the situation of enough mechanical strengths, produce the relative higher load of switch element as copper or silver.
Select the geometry of thin-walled hollow cylinder like this, make the ratio of diameter and wall thickness basically greater than 10: 1.Under the situation of identical fusing integration, this geometry has obviously higher mechanical strength with respect to the internal solid cylinder of same material.This allows bigger elastic force given in advance, and guarantees contact electrode closing time faster.
With respect to solid material (Vollmaterial), especially under being several millimeters situation, diameter has the advantage that illustrates below another according to hollow cylinder of the present invention.
Since on the hollow cylinder or the asymmetry of middle CURRENT DISTRIBUTION very little, so under the short situation of current capacity height and fusing time, hollow cylinder itself heats unevenly and melts.This effect can be wittingly by the electric current on the contact site by or promoted by the structuring of cylinder.In principle, also can expect the material influence of structure, or also use composite material.
This inhomogeneous heating is in the little deformation that causes hollow cylinder under the situation of medium current load (fusing time minute up to several milliseconds).Hollow cylinder is also approximate in this process suddenly to lose its mechanical strength, compresses the main contacts of cylinder and closed short-circuiting device thus.The closing course advantageous particularly of this mode is not because process originally has noticeable electric arc ground to carry out in short-circuiting device.Therefore, do not produce additional impedance and pressure wave, it may react on contact in first execution mode of the present invention closed.
Under the situation of high electric current, hollow cylinder melts equally unevenly or vaporizes, and each metal bridge keeps existing thus, and therefore the no arc characteristic of short-circuiting device remains in the kA scope.
Here, electric arc almost is vaporized and main contacts may be also produce when closed fully first fully at hollow cylinder.
For the situation of arc ignition under the high current intensity (Lichtbogenzuendung), bigger cavity can be set or gas exhaust piping also is set, its restriction pressure forms, and therefore limits the reaction force that is produced.
The layout of consumers, main contacts and air-flow is selected like this or is designed, and promptly makes when arc ignition, and electric arc is commutated to this two contact electrodes 2 and 6 by switch element 9 from secondary path immediately.Thus, in this case, switch element 9 before the contact electrode closure unloaded electric current flow.
Even not have electric arc in order under the situation of maximum current, guaranteeing yet, additionally can also before the main contacts closure, to realize another current transfer level.Here, can use sliding contact or low melting material.
Shown in Fig. 1 and 2, therefore have external conductive casing 1 with movable contact electrode element 2, the contact electrode element under the effect of spring 4 by prestress.By means of spacer 3 movable contact electrode 2 is isolated with respect to external conductive casing 1.Central authorities at fixing contact electrode 6 are provided for the auxiliary contact 8 of switch element 9 and the terminal that is used for switch element 9.In addition, also exist here with respect to external conductive casing 1 and with respect to the spacer 7 of contact electrode 6.
Represent conductive material with Reference numeral 10, it can be used as completely or partially fills hollow cylinder consumers 5.
In the execution mode according to Fig. 2, conductive material 10 can for example be constructed to low-melting-point metal or conductibility fluid.
Shown in Fig. 3 to 6, the essential structure of short-circuiting device as illustrated in fig. 1 and 2 can be inverted from operation principle.
According to Fig. 3, consumers 5 is not loaded with compressive resistance by spring prestressing force, but the load to pulling force takes place.
This execution mode makes and can use cheap line or rod as consumers 5.The consumers of second execution mode also has low fusing integration except this constructs necessary high-tensile.On the guide plate 11 of the transitional region that also is formed into consumers 5, be provided for the auxiliary electrode 8 and the corresponding terminal of switch element 9.According to Fig. 3, spring 4 has guide plate 12, and it is used to movable contact electrode 14 with the element 13 that is used for the power transmission.
Element 12 and 13 constitutes labyrinth sealing, thereby guarantees the motion support of the movable contact electrode 14 of piston-like under the situation that sealed inside pressure improves.
By for example using the line of the tension that supports by steel, can under the very high situation of elastic force, realize the very little fusing integration of consumers 5.This allows to use cheap switch element 9, and the very little switching time that can realize contact electrode.
Different with the form of implementation according to Fig. 1 and 2, in the form according to Fig. 3 to 6, the pressure wave that is produced by electric arc does not react on the closing motion of contact electrode, but can be used to quicken this motion, as reference piston-like structure is introduced one of contact electrode.But alternatively also have such possibility, promptly realize being similar to the structure of sliding contact by the structure of parts 12 and 13 under the situation that suitable material is selected, its guide current is up to the main contacts closure.For this reason, when the conductibility contact that continues, the CURRENT DISTRIBUTION of adjusting between consumers and parts 12 and 13 is essential.But also can expect, parts 12 with 13 after minimum movement just electric the contact, or by because the voltage breakdown that the slip of the very small distance that produces of arc ignition punctures (Gleitueberschlag) or punctures form on the consumers 5 is realized contact.
In high current carrying capacity (Stromtragfaehigkeit), comprise that the contact electrode of contact site can may be problematic by realizing movingly respectively according to execution mode shown in Fig. 1 to 3 and necessary contact electrode.This is except to also causing the very big quality that is moved the high request of contact site, and therefore causes high contact pressure.But, can reduce quality and essential contact pressure by selecting suitable material and structural variant.
In addition, can also use such structure, promptly wherein the electric power support is moved the motion of element.
Fig. 4 shows one and implements variant, has linear consumers 5, and promptly purpose is to reduce to be moved quality, and this also can expect in being in according to the tubulose consumers under the spring pressure of Fig. 1 in principle.
Contact electrode 6 and 14 according to Fig. 4 realized regularly, and only uses movable contact plate 15, and this movable contact plate constitutes bridges for contact electrode 6 and 14.
Structure among Fig. 4 shown in the principle also can be with shown in Figure 5 similarly with realizing axisymmetrically.
The advantage of this enforcement variant is contact plate 15 very little treat moving mass and in according to the execution mode of Fig. 5 by in the fixing main electrode 6 that realizes of heart or one of 14 and contact plate 15 between the dynamic load of connection and the requirement of current carrying capacity very little.
In principle, also can be implemented to contact plate or to the current feed of consumers from fixing electrode one of by sliding contact.
Have such possibility, promptly parts 15 are connected to the first fixing main electrode 6 conductively by sliding contact for this reason.Shown in Fig. 5 and 6 of exemplary demonstration coaxial configuration, second fixedly contact electrode or main electrode 14 isolate by parts 17 and with respect to shell 1.
In structure according to Fig. 6, can second fixedly the bottom of main electrode 14 eutectic solder 10 or similar material also are set.This solder mass 10 can be extruded between the contact 6 and 14 that heating the time fixedly install, thereby significantly improves the size of conductibility contact-making surface.
Under situation shown in Figure 6, fixing main electrode 14 is constructed to cupping electrode, wherein movable contact plate 15 as previously described scolder of the row of squeezing like that in immersing melting solder 10 time.
When using from the switch element that disappears, as gap or thyristor, described short-circuit device allows also to use especially that significant method of operation realizes short circuit metal in low pressure range.
In the high and medium voltage scope, often aging the or pollution by distance piece forms short circuit as arcing (Ueberschlag) or as puncture in device.This distance piece is damaged constantly, and can cause the failure situations of repetition when reclosing line voltage.
On the contrary under low pressure, often only because so-called short circuit in short-term (Wischern)-promptly conductibility in short-term by different electromotive forces in low pressure range connects or the short circuit that produces by linking to each other with a very little current carrying capacity-produce short circuit.
Owing to aging or pollute and damage spacer constantly seldom as the reason of short circuit in the device scope.Maintenance cost in the device often since the effect of the fault electric arc of longer duration just produce.If opposite, the influence of fault electric arc is limited consumingly, then may not need often to safeguard immediately.Because the particularity of fault generation and trouble duration in the low-voltage device is for using short-circuiting device to produce special situation with the effect that reduces fault electric arc.
In QA short-circuiting device, realize the short circuit in the first fault current half-wave, continue up to being disconnected by higher level's protection equipment.Therefore, whole device and electrical network are separated.Thus, when disappearing short circuit in short-term, produce high operational failure sometimes owing to disconnecting what may occur.If the time of opposite short-circuiting device response is delayed, then the damage to device improves significantly under the fact damaged situation.And the obvious higher maintenance cost of generation.And, by the delay of short-circuiting device, can't imagine the personal protection that may need.
By using according to the short-circuiting device with consumers and switch element series circuit of the present invention, can satisfy the requirement that seems contradiction, promptly the demanding device availability of one side requires strong damage restriction on the other hand.
Principle according to short circuit implementation method of the present invention is connected based on the classification of the short-circuiting device with following time response.
Determine failure situations, for example after the fault electric arc in the device, the switch element of short-circuiting device is driven in short-term.May be consumed the impedance restriction of element and short circuit and switch element by the short circuit current of switch element.Electric current commutates to short-circuiting device from abort situation.After the time that can be provided with, switch element interrupts short circuit current, and device and abort situation are loaded with line voltage.Enough recover under the situation of intensity in short circuit in short-term and trouble location, keep power supply device.The fault that the short-circuiting device notice is occurred, and the therefore necessary device inspection of indication.
If failure situations keeps, then the switch element of short-circuiting device is driven again constantly.In this case, the consumers of short-circuiting device overload, and produce the short circuit metal that continues of forcing cutoff device.
In described technical scheme, consumers is designed like this, promptly make can be at current load (the low I of minimum 2The t value) realizes short circuit metal afterwards.Therefore, employed in this case switch element must only have very little current carrying capacity or very little breaking capacity.
In order to use described method, suggestion differently designs consumers and switch element under the situation that keeps structure.As the replacement of almost optimizing described short-circuiting device on the contrary, but can be that described method is trained this short-circuiting device by path in parallel simply.Therefore, economic and simple short-circuiting device that satisfy the demands improves and can be used for described method at any time.
Fig. 7 shows the principle diagrammatic sketch for another path parallel circuits.Additional path in parallel mainly is made of the drivable switch element 17 of waiting until high current carrying capacity and breaking capacity in having.In addition, impedance 16 can be set.Obtain such possibility by means of impedance, promptly for example influence the size or the current squaring pulse of short circuit current by nonlinear impedance.This is on the one hand avoided during restricted transit aspect the response of the possible overcurrent of electrical network or under voltage protection equipment in the very first time of switch element may be significant, and to be no more than in the very little switch element of power aspect the maximum load of current carrying capacity and erasability on the other hand may be significant.
But the size of impedance 16 should be no more than hundreds of m Ω, because otherwise hinder the commutation (short circuit paths 1 and 2) of fault current to total equipment consumingly.Advantageously, impedance should be less than a few m Ω.
Especially semiconductor switch, for example thyristor or IGBTs; But vacuum switch that can trigger and gap equally also are suitable for as switch element 17.
