Abstract

Dieser Leistungsschalter weist mindestens eine mit einem isolierenden Medium gefüllte, zylindrisch ausgebildete, entlang einer zentralen Achse (2) erstreckte, eine Leistungsstrombahn aufweisende Löschkammer, mit zwei feststehenden, auf der zentralen Achse (2) angeordneten, voneinander in axialer Richtung beabstandeten, in der Leistungsstrombahn angeordneten Abbrandkontaktanordnungen (5,6) auf. Die Abbrandkontaktanordnungen (5,6) werden im eingeschalteten Zustand elektrisch leitend verbunden durch einen beweglichen Überbrückungskontakt. Zwischen den feststehenden Abbrandkontaktanordnungen (5,6) ist eine Lichtbogenzone (24) vorgesehen. Parallel zur Leistungsstrombahn ist eine mit beweglichen Nennstromkontakten versehene Nennstrombahn angeordnet. Der Überbrückungskontakt ist im Innern der Abbrandkontaktanordnungen (5,6), entlang der zentralen Achse (2) erstreckt, angeordnet.This circuit breaker has at least one with one insulating medium filled, cylindrical, extending along a central axis (2), one Arcing chamber with power circuit, with two fixed, arranged on the central axis (2), spaced from each other in the axial direction in the Power current path arranged erosion contact arrangements (5.6). The erosion contact arrangements (5,6) are in the switched on state electrically connected by a movable bypass contact. Between fixed erosion contact arrangements (5,6) is one Arc zone (24) provided. Parallel to Power track is one with moving Rated current contacts provided rated current contacts arranged. The Bridging contact is inside the Burn-up contact arrangements (5,6) along the central axis (2) extends, arranged.

Dank dieser Anordnung kann der Überbrückungskontakt massearm ausgeführt werden, sodass mit einem vergleichsweise kleinen und wenig Energie benötigenden Antrieb eine vorteilhafte Erhöhung der Ausschaltgeschwindigkeit des Überbrückungskontakts erreicht werden kann.

Figure 00000001
Thanks to this arrangement, the bridging contact can be designed with low mass, so that an advantageous increase in the opening speed of the bridging contact can be achieved with a comparatively small drive that requires little energy.
