Definitions

  • the invention relates to an extinguishing device for a circuit breaker, in particular an all-current circuit breaker with a stack of a plurality of ferromagnetic quenching plates, spaced apart in a housing chamber, each with a funnel-shaped V-slot forming two protruding tongues on its narrow side facing a contact point are provided, and with two transversely arranged in front of the quenching plates, lying on both sides of the V-slot on the tongues on the front side and flanking the contact point, at least one of which covers a permanent magnet.
  • the arc voltage must exceed the maximum driving voltage in order to interrupt the circuit.
  • the arc burn time the longer the ratio of the arc voltage to the voltage to be driven and the greater the time constant T as the ratio of the self-inductance L to the resistance R of the circuit to be protected. Since the number of quenching plates is fixed for a switch or a certain number of quenching plates is required in order to interrupt the applied voltage, the level of the arc voltage is also approximately fixed, and the first-mentioned ratio can be assumed as a constant value. The second ratio is dependent on the circuit, so that a higher self-inductance causes a correspondingly longer arc burning time in the stack of quenching plates.
  • partial arcing can occur, particularly when the current intensity decreases at the end of the shutdown to the edges of the extinguishing plates and in the direction of the permanent magnet. It easily burns or the arc flashes over several quenching plate distances. This case is particularly critical with direct current and leads to the failure of the switch. Furthermore, the arc is only surrounded by a little iron on the narrow tongue ends, so that it remains on the inner contours of the V-slot.
  • An extinguishing device of the type mentioned at the outset is known (DE-0S 33 37 562), in which the extinguishing plates are provided with a step in the tongues on each side of the V-slot.
  • the insulating material plate covering a permanent magnet, as a result of which a channel-like depression is formed in front of the contour of the extinguishing plate.
  • the insulating plate also covers the end face of the permanent magnet with an angular extension projecting in the direction of the housing wall. This arrangement is particularly useful for extinguishing the switching arc at comparatively low levels Direct currents up to about 30 A are an advantage. Above such a current, however, such measures are not sufficient to safely extinguish the arc in the case of DC cutoffs.
  • a circuit breaker with an extinguishing device is known (DE-0S 26 16 825), in which at least one of the extinguishing plates is covered with an insulating material and partially covers it. It is thereby achieved that the base point of the arc can only burn on the free area of the quenching plate and the risk of a short-circuiting or bridging of this quenching plate by the arc is reduced.
  • This known quenching device in which the arc at the end of the V-slot is to be stabilized by an insulating sheath of the entire stack of quenching plates, preferably lying on the outer quenching plates, is suitable for an AC switch.
  • the partial arcs can join together at the edge contours of the inside quenching plates and short-circuit part of the quenching plates. Such a burning of the arc leads to failure of the switch, especially with direct current.
  • the invention is based, to improve the effectiveness of the above-mentioned quenching device for an all-current circuit breaker in order to obtain a higher DC switching capacity, in particular for direct currents with a high time constant, the task.
  • the extinguishing device shown as a section of a circuit breaker is accommodated in a housing chamber 1 formed from a lower part 1a and an upper part 1b, which is largely filled by a stack of preferably 12 pieces of ferromagnetic quenching plates 2 spaced apart from one another.
  • a housing chamber 1 formed from a lower part 1a and an upper part 1b, which is largely filled by a stack of preferably 12 pieces of ferromagnetic quenching plates 2 spaced apart from one another.
  • a housing chamber 1 formed from a lower part 1a and an upper part 1b, which is largely filled by a stack of preferably 12 pieces of ferromagnetic quenching plates 2 spaced apart from one another.
  • an insulating plate 5 underneath and an insulating plate 6 above are flanking in front of the extinguishing plates.
  • the quenching plates 2 standing next to each other in a packet each have a funnel-shaped V-slot 2a at their narrow end edges facing the contact point, which is approximately in the middle of each quenching plate in one Narrowing 2a 'passes.
  • tongues 2b, 2c remain on both sides of the V-slot, which protrude in the direction of the insulating material plates.
  • the tongues are flush on their outer longitudinal edges 2d with the rest of the fire-extinguishing plate and are therefore in contact with the housing walls of the lower part or upper part with only a slight gap.
  • the extinguishing plates with their rear narrow side 2e rest against a partition wall of the housing chamber 1, in which blow-out openings 1c (not shown in detail) are cut out.
  • Fig. 1 it can also be seen that the front edges of the quenching plates facing the arc chamber are provided with a gradation 2b '' and 2c '' on both tongues 2b and 2c.
  • a channel-like depression 2a ′′ is formed in particular between the fire-fighting sheet contour below the V-slot and the end face of the lower insulating material plate 5 facing the fire-fighting sheets, which protrudes with an angular projection 5a and covers a permanent magnet 9.
  • the permanent magnet 9 only inserted into the lower part of the housing is completely covered towards the contact point by the insulating material plate 5 and is protected from damage by the arc both on its surface and on its end edges, in particular by the attachment 5a resting on the edge of the fire-extinguishing plate. Similar to the entire insulating material plate 6, the insulating material plate 5 is flat in the area of the contact point, while it has a step-like thickening towards the extinguishing plates on its upper side facing away from the permanent magnet (FIG. 4).
  • This thickening consists of a first step 5b reaching above the opening of the V-slot in front of the larger part of the quenching plates and a second step 5c which is higher than this in the area between the fixed contact piece 3 and the remaining quenching plates.
  • the second stage 5c extends approximately to the middle of the V-slot and lies against the side of an arc discharge horn 3a of the fixed contact piece 3.
  • the resulting switching arc 7 is therefore inevitably raised on its way into the stack of quenching iron with its base point migrating on the arc discharge horn through the second stage 5c up to approximately the central plane of the quenching device.
  • Both stages expediently emerge with a bevel from the flat area 5d of the insulating material plate 5. Since the second stage 5c runs approximately parallel to the arc discharge horn in the plane of FIG. 2, the first stage 5b widens in a funnel shape towards the quenching plates. This improves the entry of the arc into the quenching plate package.
  • a return potential plate 10 connected to the fixed contact piece 3, which is electrically conductively connected to an input terminal 11 in a manner not shown, and an arc guide plate 12 located at the bottom of the housing chamber.
  • This in parallel Arc guide plate running to an outer extinguishing plate is guided in the region of the arc space in the direction of the movable contact piece 4 for good takeover of its arc base and carries a bimetal 13 as a thermal trigger at its free end 12a. This is via a connecting line 15 connected in series with a connecting terminal 14 and via a flexible line 16 with the movable contact piece 4.
  • the direction of flow of the direct current is indicated by arrows in FIG. 2 and leads from the connection terminal 11 to the fixed contact piece 3 and further via the movable contact piece 4, the line 16, the bimetal 13 and the line 15 to the other connection terminal 14.
  • a direct current flows through the switching arc 7, which under the effect of the magnetic field of the permanent magnet 9 shown schematically in FIG. 1, effectively flows into the V-slot even at currents above approximately 30 A via the steps of the lower insulating plate 5 2a of the sheet stack is directed.
  • the latter can enter the narrowing 2a 'of the V-slot in the critical current range from approximately 30 to 100 A via indicated intermediate positions 7a, 7b, 7c.
  • This process is further supported by the larger air gap to the magnet due to the lower insulating material plate thickened in front of the extinguishing plates.
  • the quenching device according to the invention also allows a higher AC cut-off capacity. This is achieved insofar as the demagnetization of the permanent magnet 9 takes place in the region important for direct current cutoffs due to the step-like thickening of the lower insulating material plate 5 when the current flows in the opposite direction.
  • the arc barriers can also be provided by means of appropriate housing webs which grip between the quenching plates or by local insulation directly on the surface of the quenching plates in the zones in which the teeth 8a grip over the tongues 2b or 2c. Adhesive strips, lacquer or corresponding materials can be used for this local insulation.
