Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electromagnetic operating device intended for medium-voltage or high-voltage circuit breakers and comprising an opening magnet and a closing magnet for operating the movable contact system of the circuit breaker.
  • Electromagnetic operating devices are used above all in low-voltage circuit breakers.
  • the driving force of the electromagnet it is common for the driving force of the electromagnet to be combined with the force of a return spring, such that the movable contact system may be displaced in opposite directions (make and break).
  • Electromagnetic operating devices have also been used in older high-voltage circuit breakers of the type in which the contact system is enclosed in a grounded oil-filled tank.
  • a known operating device of this kind two separate operating magnets for opening and closing, respectively, are used.
  • the magnets are connected to the contact system via a mechanism, composed of a plurality of arms, links and rods, which by its relatively large weight, friction in all the rotary bearings, etc., is slow in operation and energy-demanding.
  • the present invention aims to provide an electromagnetic operating device of the kind described in the preamble to claim 1, which is simpler, more reliable and less space-demanding than comparable prior art designs.
  • the operating device shall be so designed that the energy losses caused by friction, etc., in the transmission between the magnets and the contact system are minimized, and that higher contact acceleration and contact speed may be achieved. This is achieved according to the invention with an operating device with the characteristic features mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the two magnetic cores are integrated into one single magnet body, and the two armatures are adapted, by activation of the respective magnet coil, to be displaced translatorily along the longitudinal axis of the magnet body for opening and closing, respectively, of the circuit breaker.
  • the two armatures are adapted, by activation of the respective magnet coil, to be displaced translatorily along the longitudinal axis of the magnet body for opening and closing, respectively, of the circuit breaker.
  • holding coils are arranged adjacent to the operating coils to retain the respective armature in its end position, after a breaker operation, with the aid of relatively low magnetizing current.
  • the operating mechanism is further simplified, since the need of mechanical latches, latching magnets and permanent magnets is eliminated.
  • a magnetic operating device is most suitable for single-pole operation of SF 6 gas insulated circuit breakers.
  • the operating device may be advantageously integrated into, under or adjacent to the respective breaker pole to form a hermetically sealed unit, filled with insulating gas, where all mechanical operations take place inside the unit.
  • the operating device schematically shown in Figure 1 comprises a magnetic device consisting of, on the one hand, an opening magnet 11 comprising an opening coil 12, a magnet core 13 and an opening armature 14, and, on the other hand, a closing magnet 15 comprising a closing coil 16, a magnet core 17 and a closing armature 18.
  • the two magnet cores 13, 17 with a magnet yoke connected thereto are integrated into a single magnet body 20, which together with the coils 12, 16 and the armatures 14, 18 form an operating magnet with a axi-symmetrical configuration.
  • the magnet body 20 is formed with two hollow-cylindrical spaces 21, 22 separated by a transverse yoke 23 arranged in the mid-portion of the magnet body.
  • the opening coil 12 is arranged in the upper space 21, whereas the closing coil 16 is arranged in the lower space 22.
  • the opening armature 14, which extends into the space 21 at the upper end of the magnet body, is connected to the movable contact system of the circuit breaker via an insulating operating rod 19.
  • the closing armature 18, which extends into the space 22 at the lower end of the magnet body 20, is provided with (or makes contact with) a push rod 24 (non-magnetic) which extends axially through the magnet body 20.
  • the operating coils 12, 16 are connected to a common energy source 30 via separate thyristors 31 and 32, respectively, which are supplied with control current from a control circuit device 33.
  • the energy source 30 may, for example, be a capacitor bank, an accumulator battery, or a rechargeable dry battery.
  • Opening of the circuit breaker is initiated by firing the opening thyristor 31 by supplying control current from the control circuit device 33. This causes current to pass through the opening coil 12, the opening magnet 11 thus being magnetized and its armature 14 being drawn in the direction of the arrow A towards the interior of the core 13.
  • the movable contact system of the circuit breaker which contact system is connected via the operating rod 19 direct to the armature 14, is thus moved to the open position and is retained there, for example by an open-position latch arranged adjacent to the armature 14.
  • the closing thyristor 32 is fired, the closing magnet 15 thus being magnetized by the supply of current from the energy source 30.
  • the closing armature 18 is thereby drawn in the direction of the arrow B towards the interior of the core 17 and, via the push rod 24 and the opening armature 14, brings about a displacement of the operating rod 19 in the direction of the arrow C.
  • the movable contact system of the circuit breaker is thus displaced towards the closed position and is retained there, for example by a mechanical closed-position latch arranged adjacent to the armature 18.
  • Figure 2 shows a further development of the magnet device shown in Figure 1, where, on the one hand, a first holding coil 25 is arranged adjacent to the opening coil 12 for retaining the movable contact system of the circuit breaker in the open position after an opening operation, and, on the other hand, a second holding coil 26 is arranged adjacent to the closing coil 16 for retaining the movable contact system of the circuit breaker in the closed position after a closing operation.
  • the holding coils 25, 26 are designed for relatively low magnetizing current.
  • the air gap X is almost reduced to zero, and the holding forces which are required may therefore be easily achieved by relatively small currents which may thus be delivered by the auxiliary power equipment in the distribution station in which the circuit breaker is placed.
  • Figure 3 shows a time diagram for the coil currents in the magnetic device according to Figure 2 during closing and opening of a circuit breaker.
  • the following designations for currents and time intervals are used in the diagram:
  • the holding coils 25, 26 cooperate with the operating coils 12, 16 in such a way that the holding coils relieve the operating coils and complete the task of magnetizing the respective magnetic circuit and retaining the opening and the closing armature, respectively, in the end position of the respective armature movement.
  • Figures 4 and 5 show an integrated single-pole magnet-operated high-voltage circuit breaker consisting of a breaker pole of a type known per se, combined with an electromagnetic operating device according to the present invention.
  • the shown breaker pole is an SF 6 circuit breaker of self-blasting type, described in the ABB pamphlet SESWG/B 2330E SF 6 Circuit-Breaker Type LTB", published 1993.
  • the contact system of the breaker pole is arranged in an elongated casing 40 of insulating material provided with an upper and a lower connecting flange 41 and 42, respectively.
  • the contact system whose central part is shown in Figure 5, comprises one fixed and one movable main contact 43 and 44, respectively, and one fixed and one movable arcing contact 45 and 46, respectively.
  • a nozzle 47 of insulating material is arranged between the movable contacts 44 and 46 and is fixedly connected thereto.
  • the movable contact system 44, 46 is connected, via a tubular contact rod 48, to the insulating operating rod 19, which extends through a hollow support insulator 49 and is connected at its lower end to the opening armature 14 of the operating device.
  • the breaker pole and the operating device are coaxially arranged and have an elongated, substantially axi-symmetrical configuration.
  • the breaker pole and the operating device together form one single, hermetically sealed unit which is filled with SF6 gas. All mechanical operations occur inside the closed unit.
  • the operating device is provided with gas-tight bushings 27.
  • the operating device may be built into the lower part of the support insulator by mutual adaptation of the transverse dimensions of the support insulator and the operating device. In this way, the operating device need not be provided with a separate casing, and the dimensions of the integrated breaker pole may be further reduced.
  • An integrated breaker pole of the embodiment described entails great advantages, since it may be made completely ready for operation with the prescribed gas filling at the factory. This reduces the assembly work at the customer's site, which is largely limited to connecting two wires between the breaker pole and the energy supply equipment. (The return connection from the magnet coils 12, 16 can be grounded to the enclosures of the equipment.)
  • connection rod for interconnecting the armatures can be used instead of the push rod 24 .
  • gate turn-off thyristors instead of the ordinary thyristors 31, 32 shown in Figure 1.
