Definitions
- the invention relates to a gas pressure switch according to the preambles of claims 1 and 2.
- Such a switch is described for example in DE-A-30 17 980 or in FR-A-2 210814.
- the switch described contains a piston-cylinder compression device for generating compressed gas.
- the cylinder is firmly connected to a movable contact and an insulating nozzle of the switch, whereas the piston, which is slidably mounted in the cylinder in a gas-tight manner, is penetrated by the movable contact and is under the action of a prestressed spring.
- the force of the prestressed spring is absorbed by a fixed stop which interacts with a holding part attached to the piston.
- the force of the spring is dimensioned such that the piston remains in the idle state when it is switched off until the gas pressure acting on the piston is greater than the force of the spring. This is the case if a high gas pressure is generated by the switching arc when a short-circuit current is switched. This high gas pressure causes an increase in the compression space by displacing the piston against the force of the preloaded spring. A comparatively large volume of high-pressure compressed gas is then available for blowing the switching arc, but such a switch requires a comparatively large drive energy in order to prevent the drive from blocking when switching strong short-circuit currents. This is due to the fact that, on the one hand, a strong pressure is built up in the compression chamber when switching strong short-circuit currents, and on the other hand, this pressure acts on the drive counter to the direction of movement.
- the switch according to the invention is characterized in that, despite a modest drive for the moving contact, both for extinguishing large and small switching arcs, it has sufficient amounts of extinguishing gas suitable for the size of the switching arc to be extinguished.
- FIGS. 1, 3 and 4 are shown in the left half of the figure in the switch-off and in the right half of the figure in each case in the switched-on position.
- the same parts are also provided with the same reference symbols in all switches.
- the compressed gas switch shown in FIG. 1 has a fixed contact 1 with a nominal current contact 2 and a burn-up contact 3 and a movable contact 4 with a nominal current contact 5 and a burn-off contact 6.
- the erosion contacts 3 and 6 are nozzle-shaped and are mounted on contact tubes 7 and 8, respectively.
- the erosion contact 3 of the fixed contact 1 has an outer diameter corresponding approximately to the inside diameter of the nozzle-shaped erosion contact 6 of the movable contact 4, so that the erosion contact 3 can penetrate into the interior of the erosion contact 6 in the switched-on position (shown in the right half of FIG. 1) ).
- the erosion contact 6 of the movable contact piece 4 is surrounded at a distance by an insulating nozzle 9.
- the outer surface of the insulating nozzle 9 is limited by the nominal current contact 5.
- the compression space 13 is of a cylindrical housing 14 made of insulating material, such as glass fiber-reinforced plastic or porcelain, for receiving the contact pieces 1 and 4, the contact tube 8, the piston 12 and another piston 15 limited. Both pistons 12 and 15 can slide in a sealing manner in the axial direction on the inner surface of the housing 14. On the inner surface of the housing 14 there is an annular stop 16, against which the piston 15 bears with its surface facing the compression space 13. A compression spring 17 is supported on the surface of the piston 15 facing away from the compression space 13, the end of which is facing away from the piston 15 is held by a shoulder 18 provided on the inner surface of the housing 14. A stop 19 is provided on the contact tube 8, against which, in the switched-on position, the piston 15 bears with its surface facing away from the compression space 13. In the switched-on position, the piston 15 therefore acts like a fixed bottom of the compression space 13.
- the housing 14 is filled with an insulating gas, such as sulfur hexafluoride, of preferably a few bar pressure.
- the switching arc clogs the nozzle openings of the erosion contacts 3 and 6 during the high current phase and the pressure of the insulating gas in the compression space 13 is therefore considerably increased by heating.
- a predeterminable pressure value of the insulating gas located in the compression space 13 which is, for example, 0.5-1 bar higher than the pressure value of the insulating gas in the switch-on position, the piston 15 is displaced downward against the force of the spring 17 and, as a result, the compression space when the gas pressure is increased 13 enlarged (curve section in Fig. 2) until its volume remains constant due to the impact of the piston 15 on the stop 19 (curve section 111).
- the switch according to the invention therefore behaves like an arrangement in which the extinguishing gas is stored in a chamber with a constant volume.
- the drive only requires the force required to tension the spring 17, which is approximately of the same order of magnitude as the force required for the cold gas pressure build-up in the compression space 13.
- the switch according to the invention therefore behaves like a blow piston switch.
- the drive only has to exert the force necessary for compressing the insulating gas provided in the compression space 13, but this is low because of the weak insulating gas flows required for successfully blowing the arcs of small currents.
- the shoulder 18 is attached to the contact tube 8 instead of to the housing 14.
- the force of the spring 17 is now absorbed by the contact tube 8.
- the piston 15 can slide into a cylinder 20 in a sealing manner.
- the cylinder 20 is connected in a suitable manner to a cylinder base 21 fastened to the switching element 4, which is penetrated by the channel 10 entering the compression space 13.
- the piston 15 is fixed by a stop 22 held in a suitable manner by the housing 14.
- the stop 22 is held, for example, by a rod 23 which penetrates the piston 15 in a sealing manner and whose end facing away from the stop 22 is mounted on a shoulder 24 fastened to the housing 14.
- the piston 15 When switching large currents, the piston 15 is removed from the stop 22 against the force of the spring 17 after the separation of the erosion contacts 3 and 6, as in the embodiments described above. Here he temporarily occupies the position shown in dashed lines in the left half of FIG. 4. According to the embodiment according to FIG. 3, the drive of the switching element 4 is considerably relieved in this switch when large currents are switched off.
- this switch has the advantage that the use of a cylinder connected to the switching element 4 saves a piston and the compression space 13 can be designed independently of the housing 14.
