Definitions

  • the arc capture electrode is attached to the front front face of the coil, and the tubular fixed or semi-fixed arc contact is set back from the electrode inside the coil.
  • the switching of the arc on the electrode causes the supply coil to be energized after the contacts are separated.
  • the centering effect of the arc by the action of the field is accentuated by the pneumatic blowing during the phase exhaust gas through the communication pipes between the breaking chamber and the expansion chamber. This results in a possibility of re-striking the arc root anchored on the electrode towards the fixed arcing contact, causing an almost total shunting of the coil.
  • the decrease in the magnetic field in the arc zone causes the rotation of the arc roots to stop. The extinction of the arc is then compromised.
  • the object of the invention is to improve the performance of a self-expanding and rotating arc circuit breaker.
  • the circuit breaker according to the invention is characterized in that the fixed or semi-fixed arcing contact part is carried by the front front face of the coil and is electrically connected to it by one of its ends, that the electrode is on the one hand electrically isolated from the fixed arcing contact and from the said front face by an interval and is on the other hand connected to the opposite end of the coil by a bypass circuit arranged in the breaking chamber, at the outside of the coil, and that the front front face of the coil is capped by the electrode with interposition of said isolation gap, so as to allow the capture by said electrode of a fraction of the arc current making it possible to keep said magnetic field substantially constant, when the value of the intensity of the short-circuit current exceeds a predetermined threshold.
  • the electrode has an annular edge for capturing the arc, allowing passage axial of the movable arc contact part towards the closed position, the fixed arc contact part being slightly set back relative to said edge of the electrode.
  • the arc current When the arc current is not very large, the arc remains anchored between the fixed and movable arc contact parts, and moves in rotation under the action of the magnetic field created by the permanent excitation of the coil. The arc does not migrate on the electrode, causing the absence of current in the bypass circuit. If a predetermined threshold is exceeded, in the event of a major short-circuit, the current is automatically distributed in the coil and the bypass circuit.
  • the excitation current of the coil is limited to a certain value allowing the maximum amplitude of the magnetic field in the arc zone to be adjusted. The excess current is shunted by the branch circuit.
  • the annular rim of the electrode is advantageously equipped with a metallic extension of revolution, in particular cylindrical or curved, projecting from the fixed arc contact piece in the direction of the first support tube of the movable arc contact piece.
  • the electrode can also play the role of a cooling element participating in the deionization of the arc in the breaking zone.
  • a pole of an electric circuit breaker comprises an arc extinguishing device 10 with self-blowing by thermal expansion and with a rotating arc.
  • the pole is housed in a sealed, cylindrical casing 12, filled with electronegative insulating gas with high dielectric strength, in particular sulfur hexafluoride SF 6, under an appropriate pressure.
  • the casing 12 made of insulating material is internally subdivided into a first breaking chamber 14 containing the arc extinguishing device 10, and at least a second expansion chamber 16 allowing the escape of the breaking gases from the first chamber 14.
  • the circuit breaker comprises a pair of separable arcing contacts 18, 20, hollow, arranged inside the first chamber 14 in alignment with the axial direction of the casing 12. The main contact system for the passage of the nominal current in the absence of a fault is not shown in the figures.
  • the movable arcing contact 18 is carried by a first support tube 22 of conductive material passing axially sliding a cylindrical radial wall 24 of the breaking chamber 14.
  • the tube 22 is mechanically secured to a control rod of a mechanism maneuver (not shown), and is provided with an axial duct 26 which communicates with the second expansion chamber 16 through orifices 28.
  • the fixed arcing contact 20 is formed by a conductive annular track having an inside diameter equal to that of the movable arcing contact 18 to allow the contacts 18, 20 to abut, in the closed position.
  • the track of the fixed arcing contact 20 constitutes a short-circuit ring fixed by welding to the front end face 30 of an electromagnetic coil 32 for rotating the electric arc drawn during the separation of the arcing contacts. 18, 20.
  • the cylindrical coil 32 is fixed and is located in the first chamber 14, being carried by a second support tube 34 fixed in conductive material, which passes through a wall 36 of the chamber 14 opposite the other wall 24.
  • An axial conduit 38 is formed in the second support tube 34, and communicates with the expansion chamber 16 through orifices 40.
  • a cylindrical partition 42 surrounds the two walls 24, 36, radial to delimit the first breaking chamber 14 of the pole.
  • the partition 42 may have any other suitable shape, for example spherical or ellipsoidal.
  • the fixed arcing contact 20 is attached on the other hand to a hollow internal bushing 44, made of ferromagnetic material, surrounded coaxially by the coil 32 with the interposition of an insulating sheath 46.
  • One end of the coil 32 is electrically connected to the tail of the track of the fixed arcing contact 20, and the opposite end is connected to a conductive sleeve 48 in connection with the second support tube 34.
  • Bolts 49 for assembly ensure the mechanical fixing of the coil 32 to the sleeve 48.
  • An annular electrode 50 is connected to the sleeve 48 by a bypass conductor 52 which externally surrounds the coil 32 inside the chamber 14.
  • the electrode 50 is formed by a conductive ring extending radially along the front face 30 front of the coil 32, and separated from the latter by an axial gap 54 of thin thickness.
  • the inside diameter of the annular electrode 50 is greater than the outside diameter of the sliding arcing contact 18 to allow the latter to end up with the fixed arcing contact 20 in the closed position.
  • the fixed arcing contact 20 is in slight axial withdrawal relative to the free end of the electrode 50.
  • FIG. 2 it can be seen that the rotation of the arc X in the cut-off zone 56 is due to the action of the radial component BR of the magnetic field B (see diagram in point M).
  • the axial component Ba of the magnetic field B tends to maintain the arc X in the vicinity of the center to reinforce the anchoring of the arc roots on the fixed and movable arcing contacts 18.
  • This centering effect of the arc X is accentuated by the centripetal gas blowing, during the self-expansion phase, generating a double reverse flow of the gases through the exhaust ducts 26, 38.
  • the combined action of the magnetic field B and the gas blowing on the arc ensures permanent excitation of the coil 32.
  • a fraction Y of the arc is picked up by the electrode 50, so as to cause a distribution of the arc current through the coil 32 and the external branch circuit 52.
  • the excitation of the coil 32 is not interrupted during the cut-off phase and results from the fraction X of the arc current lying in parallel on fraction Y.
  • the intensity of the magnetic field B in the breaking zone 56 is therefore limited to a predetermined threshold, independently of the value of the short-circuit current.
  • the arc migration threshold on the electrode 50 of the bypass circuit 52 depends on the thickness of the axial gap 54, on the shape and on the spatial position of the electrode 50 in the breaking chamber 14, as well as the electrical resistivity of the conductive material constituting the bypass circuit 52.
  • the additional fraction Y of the arc current is flowing in the bypass circuit 52 to shunt the coil 32.
  • the partial arc Y also rotates under the action of field B and disappears as soon as the intensity of the arc current falls below a predetermined value.
  • the presence of the annular metal electrode 50 in the breaking chamber 14 makes it possible to cool the arc roots to promote its extinction.
  • the material of the electrode 50 is copper, or a copper alloy.
  • the electrode 50 can also play the role of a phase shift ring between the magnetic field B, generated by the coil 32 and the arc current, so as to improve the blowing, in particular when the current crosses zero. It can thus be provided with a radial slot, if one does not want a phase shift between magnetic field and current.
  • the priming electrode 50 can have different shapes as shown in FIG. 3, in particular an axial cylindrical socket 50a (lower half-view) extending the conductive radial ring of the branch circuit 52, or an extension 50 b curved in conductive material projecting from the fixed arcing contact 20 (upper half-view).
  • the movable arcing contact 18 in translation can also cooperate with an arcing contact 20 semi-fixed subjected to the action of a return spring, or with a fixed arcing contact 20 in the form of a clamp.
  • An intermediate ring 60 of insulating material, can be inserted in the axial gap 54 formed between the electrode 50 and the front end face 30 of the coil 32.
  • a second annular electrode 62 can be associated with the electrode 50 of the branch circuit 52.
