Definitions
- the known device comprises an enclosure subdivided into two compartments, an arc-forming compartment and a compartment for expanding the compressed gas under the thermal action of the arc.
- the fixed contact assembly comprises a blowing coil, capped by an annular electrode and surrounding the fixed contact and any escape of gas through the coil is prevented by a sealed bottom constituting the bottom of the enclosure.
- the arc drawn between the contacts during their separation switches to the annular electrode by switching on the coil.
- the arc is blown in rotation by the magnetic field generated by the coil and causes the gas to heat up and compress.
- the compressed gas escapes to the expansion compartment, through the movable tubular contact and this centripetal flow causes the arc towards the center with a risk of re-ignition on the fixed contact by switching off the coil, which compromises the extinction of the arc.
- the present invention aims to allow the realization of a simple and reliable arc extinguishing device with pneumatic and magnetic self-blowing which avoids any risk of de-excitation of the coil.
- the separation of the contacts causes the opening of the exhaust conduits and the initiation of an arc which quickly switches to the annular electrode for switching on the magnetic blow-off coil.
- the arc blown magnetically by the coil sweeps the space of the breaking chamber by heating the volume of gas whose pressure increases.
- the compressed gas escapes through the tubular contacts by pneumatically blowing the two rotating arc roots on annular tracks. Tests have confirmed the breaking performance of such a device.
- the blow coil is shunted in the closed position of the contacts and therefore it is possible to use a coil capable of generating a strong magnetic blow field. By placing the coil inside the fixed contact, the pneumatic centripetal blowing does not risk compromising the magnetic blowing.
- a known device (publication CH-A 583 456) describes err with reference to FIGS. 4, 5 and 8, 9, a circuit breaker with an enclosure subdivided into three chambers, an arc-forming chamber, framed by two expansion chambers, each of the latter communicating with the formation chamber by a conduit formed in a tubular contact.
- the circuit breaker When the circuit breaker is opened, two independent arcs are drawn in the formation chamber, one between the two tubular contacts and the other between auxiliary contacts arranged in a loop to generate a magnetic field of magnetic blowing in rotation of the 'arc drawn between these auxiliary contacts.
- the arc drawn between the tubular contacts is blown pneumatically and its extinction causes interruption of the current.
- the rotating arc drawn between the auxiliary contacts generates overpressure in the formation chamber and it is withdrawn from a pneumatic blowing action which risks compromising the magnetic blowing.
- Document FR-A-2 389 219 describes a circuit breaker similar to that of the aforementioned document Brown Boveri Mitteilung.
- An insulating pin occupies the central space of the fixed contact to expel the arc from this area and prevent, after switching, an arc return on the fixed contact part.
- Document US-A-2 333 598 relates to a rotary arc circuit breaker with gas flow through the two tubular contacts as soon as they separate.
- the blowing gas is supplied by a compressor independent of the circuit breaker, which complicates the installation.
- the blow coils are continuously traversed by the current.
- a pole of a circuit breaker comprises a sealed enclosure 10 made of insulating material, filled with insulating gas of high dielectric strength, in particular sulfur hexafluoride, and closed by a cover 12 sealed on an annular rim 14 of the 'enclosure 10.
- the circuit breaker comprises a pair of fixed and movable hollow contacts 26, 28 in the form of a nozzle, aligned in the direction of the axis XX '.
- the fixed contact 26 has an inside diameter equal to the outside diameter of the movable contact 28 to allow interlocking in the closed position.
- a control rod 30 of conductive material is slidably mounted in a support member 32 and connects the movable contact. sliding 28 to a crank operating mechanism 34.
- the control rod 30, contact 28 assembly passes through a small clearance an opening 36 formed in the partition 16, and is provided with an axial conduit 38 which communicates with the compartment 20 by orifices 40.
- a contact socket 42 sliding on the control rod 30 connects the latter to the support 32 and to a connection terminal 44 external to the enclosure 10.
- An opposite terminal 48 is connected by a support piece 50 in fixed contact 26.
- An axial conduit 52 is formed in the assembly, support part 50, fixed contact 26, which passes through the partition 18. The conduit 52 communicates with the compartment 24 by orifices 54.
- a cylindrical electromagnetic coil 56 is fixed on the face of the partition 18 in the intermediate compartment 22 and surrounds the fixed contact 26 with the interposition of an insulating sheath 58.
- An annular electrode 60 forming a short-circuited ring is attached to the free face of the coil 56 while being separated from the end of the fixed contact 26 by an axial air gap e1 sufficiently small to facilitate the migration of the arcing roots of the contact fixed 26 towards the electrode 60 at the start of the contact opening stroke 28.
- One end of the coil 56 is connected to the electrode 60 and the opposite end is connected to the support piece 50 by a conductive sleeve 62.
- a metallic coating 64 of cylindrical shape is applied to the internal wall of the enclosure 10 along the intermediate compartment 22, and serves to protect said wall against the effects of the arc drawn between the contacts 26, 28 during their separation .
- a radial air gap e2 isolates the electrode 60 from the movable contact 28 in the closed position.
- the circuit breaker works as follows:
- the nominal current flows from the terminal - 48 in the support piece 50, the contacts 26, 28, the rod 30, the sliding contact 42, the support member. 32, towards terminal 44.
- the isolation air gap e2 cuts the excitation circuit of the coil 56.
- the crank 34 of the operating mechanism pivots in the trigonometric direction and causes the control rod 30 to slide in the direction of the arrow f.
- An initial arc is first drawn between the contacts 26, 28, as soon as they separate, then during the continued travel of the movable contact 28, a first partial arc is established between the fixed contact 26 and the electrode 60, and a second partial arc in series with the first is initiated between the electrode 60 and the movable contact 28.
- the current always flows through the fixed contact 26, and the arc drawn between the latter and the electrode 60 shunts coil 56, which remains de-energized.
- the first partial arc is extinguished, and the current 1 is switched in the shunt circuit for supplying the coil 56 via the sleeve 62.
- the arc anchored on the movable contact 28 and l electrode 60 is then subjected to a radial field B generated by the coil 56 which causes its rapid rotation on the electrode 60.
- the heating of the SF6 gas contained in the intermediate compartment 22 by the rotating arc causes an increase in pressure and an escape of the compressed gas through the conduits 38, 52 (arrows F1 and F2 of the FIG. 2) towards the expansion compartments 20, 24 arranged on either side of the breaking chamber 22.
- the inverted doubie blowing ensures rapid extinction of the rotating arc.
- the three compartments 20, 22, 24 are in communication.
- the phase shift between the magnetic field B generated by the coil 56 and the current 1 improves the blowing.
- the rotating arc constitutes a means for generating pressure of the gas contained in the intermediate compartment 22 and avoids any excessive heating of the tracks of migration of the roots of the arc.
- the compression of the SF6 by the rotating arc and the extinction of the latter by the magnetic blowing and the double pneumatic blowing are carried out in the same intermediate compartment 22 shaped as a breaking chamber.
- a fixed contact 112 externally surrounds the coil 56 and has a collar 114 covering the outer edge of the free face of the coil 56.
- An annular electrode 116 fixed on the internal rim of the free face of the coil 56, has a cylindrical tail 118, which penetrates inside the coil 56 by forming the gas exhaust duct towards the expansion compartment.
- the electrode 116 is electrically isolated from the fixed contact 112 by a slight gap 120 and the coil 56 is electrically connected between the fixed contact 112 and the electrode 116.
- the movable contact 28 comes in the closed position abutting the collar 114.
- a fixed arcing contact 122 associated with movable contact 28 is disposed inside this contact opposite the annular electrode 116 while being spaced from the latter.
- An arc A is drawn between the contacts 112, 28 during the separation of the two contacts. From a certain length, the arc roots migrate under the influence of Laplace forces (also called Lorenz forces) towards the electrode 116 and the arcing contact 122, establishing two arcs B in series, respectively. Between the arcing contact 122 and the electrode 116 and between the electrode 116 and the collar 114, the latter arc rapidly extinguishing by switching on the coil 56 in the above-mentioned manner.
- Laplace forces also called Lorenz forces
- the arc subjected to the effect of the magnetic field rotates and the roots, which are subjected to the pneumatic blowing of the gases escaping from the intermediate compartment 22 towards the expansion compartments 20, 24 can move on the arcing contact 122 and the tail 118 without any risk of de-excitation of the coil 56.
- a ferromagnetic core 124 is accommodated c q axially within the coil 56 to strengthen the latter blowing action.
- the core 124 only partially obstructs the gas exhaust duct, leaving an annular exhaust duct between the tail 118 and the core 124 and / or having a central hole 126.
