Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit breaker with end arcing contacts, usable at medium or high voltage.
  • a medium or high voltage circuit breaker with end arcing contacts comprising in a casing filled with gases with good dielectric properties a first contact at fixed end connected to a first socket-outlet and a mobile assembly comprising a first tube.
  • said circuit breaker further comprising a second semi-movable tubular end contact pushed on its annular end by a first end of a spring supported by its second end on an annular shoulder of the first tube, the annular end of the second contact cooperating by abutment with an annular end of the first tube for opening the end contacts, this annular end carrying an additional contact and the difference in lengths of the second end contact and its annular end being slightly greater than the sum of the lengths of said additional contact and of the annular end to which it is integral.
  • Circuit breakers with end arcing contacts are known in which the arc is blown by compression of the gas during an opening operation.
  • gas compression occurs before the separation of the arcing contacts (precompression).
  • precompression the main contacts of the circuit breaker are opened, which can be arranged outside the enclosure.
  • the present invention proposes to solve this problem of repulsion of end contacts without increasing the compression force of the spring.
  • the main contacts are integrated into the circuit breaker by a simple and space-saving arrangement.
  • the circuit breaker according to the invention is characterized in that said additional contact consists of a ring of contact arm sliding on the first end contact and comprising at their end an arcing contact pad made of resistant material at the arc and near the latter a permanent contact bead of conductive metal, and in that said first tube defines with a second tube a blowing volume and is extended by a blowing nozzle.
  • the outside diameter of the first end contact is slightly greater than that of the second end contact.
  • the internal diameters of the stud and of the bead are smaller than the external diameter of the second contact, in the free state, the arms being relatively flexible radially, and the internal diameter of the bead is slightly smaller than that of the stud.
  • Figure 1 is a partial view in longitudinal section of a circuit breaker according to an embodiment of the invention in the closed position.
  • Figure 2 is a partial view in longitudinal section of a circuit breaker according to an embodiment of the invention in the intermediate open position.
  • Figure 3 is a partial view in longitudinal section of a circuit breaker according to an embodiment of the invention in the arc start position.
  • Figure 4 is a partial view in longitudinal section of a circuit breaker according to an embodiment of the invention in the open position.
  • a cylindrical envelope for example made of porcelain, delimits a sealed interior volume filled with gases with good dielectric properties such as SF6, pure or mixed with nitrogen, under a pressure of a few bars.
  • the first contact at the fixed end 8 of the circuit breaker consists of a metal tube connected to a block passing through the casing in a sealed manner and connected to a first outlet.
  • the end 8 ′ of the tube 8 is made of an alloy resistant to arc effects, for example based on tungsten.
  • the second movable end contact 9 consists of a metal tube, the end 9 'of which cooperates with the contact 8 is also made of an arc-resistant alloy.
  • This tube 9 has, near its opposite end 9A at the end 9 ', a lateral bore 9B for the evacuation of the gas.
  • This end 9A is annular with a diameter greater than that of the tube 9 and is sliding in a tube 2.
  • This tube 2 can be moved by an operating rod and it is connected to a second socket. It defines with a second tube a blowing volume 5 and it is extended by a blowing nozzle 4.
  • the movable assembly therefore consists of this tube 2 driven in translation and of the second semi-mobile contact 9 by sliding in the tube 2 and pushed on its annular end 9A by the first end of a spring 10 supported by its second end on an annular shoulder of the tube 2.
  • the end facing the fixed contact 8 of the tube 2 comprises an annular part 2A which cooperates by abutment with the annular end 9A of the semi-mobile contact 9 for the opening of the end contacts 8, 9, as will be seen more precisely further.
  • the annular end 9A is guided relative to the tube 2 by an insulating segment 11 and the annular end 2A is guided relative to the tube 9 by an insulating segment 12.
  • This annular end 2A carries a contact consisting of a crown of contact arm 20 sliding on the fixed contact 8 via an arcing contact pad 21 and a permanent contact bead 22, disposed near this pad 21.
  • the arcing contact pad 21 is made of an arc-resistant material, for example based on tungsten, while the permanent contact bead 22 is made of conventional conductive metal like the arms 20.
  • the end contacts 8 and 9 are butted, the beads 22 are in contact with the lateral surface of the fixed contact 8 and the studs 21 are very slightly spaced from this lateral surface; the permanent current represented by an arrow passes from the first current outlet to the second current outlet through the tube 8, the beads 22, the arms 20 and the tube 2.
  • the annular end 2A abuts with the annular end 9A and, taking into account the dimensional arrangements already specified, the pads 21 are at a small distance from the fixed contact 8 which is always abutted with the semi-mobile contact 9; the current, represented by an arrow, then passes from the first outlet to the second outlet through the tube 8, the tube 9, the beads 22, the arms 20 and the tube 2; in the event of high short-circuit currents and resulting repulsive forces, the semi-mobile contact 9 can move away without damage; in fact, the arc created between the end 8 'of the fixed contact 8 and the end 9' of the semi-mobile contact 9 is then transferred very quickly between the end 8 'of the fixed contact 8 and the stud 21, as soon as the distance between the end contacts 8 and 9 exceeds that between the contact 8 and the studs 21.
  • the opening is then terminated by separation of the end contacts 8 and 9, the tube 2 driving the contact 9, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the problem caused by the repulsion of the end contacts 8 and 9 is solved just as much with the separation of these contacts on opening, as with the coming into contact of these contacts on closing.
  • studs 21 made of an arc-resistant alloy protects the metal beads 22, preferably made of copper, from the destructive effects of the arc. electric, these beads 22 being intended for the passage of permanent current.
