Definitions

  • the invention relates to an electrical disconnector comprising a first contact which is mounted movably in an axial direction with respect to a second fixed contact and which cooperates with the latter to establish an electrical connection, a rod which extends in said axial direction and which is maneuvered to move the first contact relative to the second contact.
  • a high voltage electrical disconnector comprising a metal casing in which are arranged the movable and fixed contacts, this envelope being filled with a dielectric gas such as SF6.
  • the operating rod of the movable contact passes through the metal casing and is usually moved in translation by a mechanical control.
  • the patent application EP348645 discloses a two-contact disconnector formed by two coaxial cylinders and moved to connect successively to a fixed arc contact and to a fixed permanent contact (ensuring the passage of the permanent current).
  • the movable contact control mechanism uses two aligned coil springs, separated by a collar attached to an operating rod which is coaxial with them.
  • the disconnector arrangement disclosed allows a speed of movement of the movable contacts much faster than that of the operating rod during closing operations or opening of the electrical connection.
  • the device cited because of the disposition of its fixed contacts, does not allow electric arcs to start only on the fixed arcing contact. Indeed, the isolation distance between the moving arc contact and the fixed permanent contact may become insufficient if the voltage exceeds a certain threshold, in which case it may occur arcing between these contacts, where damaging overvoltages because not attenuated by possible resistances.
  • the subject of the invention is an electrical disconnector comprising a first contact which is mounted movably in an axial direction relative to a second fixed contact and which cooperates with the latter to establish a electrical connection, a rod which extends in said axial direction and which is operated to move the movable contact relative to the fixed contact, characterized in that the movable contact is a hollow tube having an end facing the fixed contact and a second end opposite the first end, in that it comprises a piston sliding inside the movable contact, the piston being mounted on the rod and having a first side oriented towards the fixed contact and a second side opposite the first side, in that a first spring is interposed between the first end of the movable contact and the first side of the piston, in that a second spring is t interposed between the second end of the movable contact and the second side of the piston, in that a first locking system is provided for immobilizing the movable contact in the axial direction during a closing operation at the same time as the
  • This device allows in particular the rapid switching of high voltages while ensuring the passage of strong currents.
  • the electrical disconnector according to the invention is a high-voltage disconnector comprising, in a cylindrical metal casing (not shown in the drawings) which extends in an axial direction A and which is filled with an insulating gas such as SF6, a contact 1 which is fixed and which is for example hollow and a contact 2 mounted movably in the axial direction relative to the fixed contact.
  • the movable contact is for example rod-shaped, is coaxial with the fixed contact 1 and is inserted into the hollow fixed contact to establish an electrical connection.
  • the disconnector further comprises a rod 3 coaxial with the contacts 1 and 2, which extends in the axial direction A and which is operated to move the contact 2 relative to the contact 1.
  • the moving contact 2 is guided in displacement in the axial direction by a fixed tube 4 coaxial with the operating rod 3.
  • the movable contact 2 is a cylindrical hollow tube having a first end 2A which faces the fixed contact 1 and a second end 2B opposite the end 2A traversed by the operating rod 3.
  • a piston 5 is arranged sliding inside the contact 2; it has a first side 5A facing the contact side 1 and a second side 5B opposite the side 5A.
  • the piston 5 is fixed to the end of the rod 3 which slides in the contact 2.
  • the rod 3 may be a worm and the piston 5 can be in this case a nut.
  • the other end of the rod 3 is connected to the control of the disconnector (not shown) which acts here to move in translation the rod 3 in the axial direction A.
  • the control acts here to move the rod 3 and thus the piston 5 to the fixed contact 1 and during an opening operation of the disconnector, the control acts to move the rod 3 and thus the piston 5 in the opposite direction.
  • the disconnector further comprises a first locking system 8, of the retractable ball type, which immobilizes the contact 2 in the axial direction when the rod 3 is operated during a closing operation of the disconnector, at the same time as the first spring 6 is compressed between the piston and the first end 2A of the contact 2.
  • This first locking system is erased after a certain compression of the first spring 6 so that the contact 2 is connected at high speed with the contact 1 under the effect the relaxation of the spring 6 bearing against the piston 5.
  • the isolator further comprises a second locking system 9 which immobilizes the contact 2 in the axial direction when the rod 3 is operated during an opening operation of the disconnector, at the same time as the spring 7 is compressed between the piston 5 and the second end 2B of the contact 2.
  • This second locking system is erased after a certain compression of the spring 7 so that the contact 2 is disconnected from the contact 1 at high speed under the effect of the relaxation of the spring 7 in support against the piston 5.
  • the disconnector according to the invention is in the fully open position.
  • the spring 7 is compressed between the piston 5 and the end 2B of the contact 2.
  • the spring 6 is completely expanded between the end 2A of the contact 2 and the piston 5.
  • the contact 2 is immobilized in the axial direction A in the tube 4 by the retractable ball lock system 8 which is here armed.
  • the rod 3 is moved by a translational maneuver towards the fixed contact 1 as indicated by the arrow on the piston 5; it drives the piston 5 in this direction so that the spring 6 is compressed by the piston 5 against the end 2A of the contact 2 while the spring 7 is expanded.
  • the contact 2 is inserted at high speed in the fixed contact 1 under the action of the spring 6 which expands between the piston 5 and the end 2A of the contact 2.
  • the piston 5 continues to be moved towards the fixed contact 1 and the second ball lock system 9 is armed to immobilize the contact 2 in the axial direction A in the guide tube 4.
  • the moving contact 2 has therefore moved independently of the operating rod 3 and the piston 5.
  • the translational speed of the operating rod 3 and thus of the piston 5 can therefore be much smaller. that the speed of displacement of the movable contact 2.
  • the speed of displacement of the actuating rod 3 and therefore of the piston 5 can also be constant contrary to the speed of displacement of the movable contact 2.
  • the end of the closing operation of the disconnector can be controlled by detecting the extreme position of the piston 5 and the rod 3.
  • the rod 3 is moved away by the fixed contact 1 as indicated by the arrow on the piston 5; it drives the piston 5 in the same direction so that the spring 7 is compressed by the piston 5 against the end 2B of the contact 2 while the spring 6 is expanded.
  • the contact 2 emerges at high speed from the fixed contact 1 under the action of the spring 7 which expands between the piston 5 and the end 2B of the contact 2.
  • the piston 5 continues to be away from the contact fixed 1 and the first ball lock system 8 is armed to immobilize the contact 2 in the axial direction A in the guide tube 4.
  • the moving contact 2 has thus moved again independently of the operating rod 3 and the piston 5.
  • the end of the opening operation of the disconnector can be further controlled by the detection of the position extreme of the piston 5 and the rod 3.
  • Figure 3 shows in greater detail in longitudinal section in the axial direction to an embodiment of a disconnector according to the invention.
  • the operating rod 3 is a rotary worm with rotation axis A.
  • the piston 5 is a nut in which is engaged the worm 3. According to the direction of rotation of the worm 3, the nut 5 moves in translation (without possibility of rotation) in one direction or the other in the axial direction A inside the moving contact 2.
  • the spring 6 and the spring 7 with spirals.
  • FIG. 3 shows the disconnector in the fully open position, the spring 7 being compressed between the nut 5 and the end 2B of the movable contact 2.
  • a cylindrical spool 10 is disposed inside the contact 2 coaxially with the nut 5. This spool slides on the nut 5 and acts on retractable balls 8 and 9 locking systems housed in radial openings 11 of the contact 2 It consists more particularly of two half-drawers 10A and 10B independent of each other in displacement in the axial direction A.
  • the half-slide 10A comprises a radial end rib 12A on which the nut 5 comes into abutment when the latter is moved towards the fixed contact 1.
  • the half-slide 10B also comprises a radial end rib 12B on which the nut 5 comes into abutment when the latter is moved away from the fixed contact 1.
  • a spiral spring 13 is disposed between the end rib 12A of the half-slide 10A and a shoulder 2AA provided at the end 2A.
  • the guide tube 4 comprises a first recess 15 in which the ball 8 can engage and a second recess 16 into which the ball 9 can engage; these two recesses 15 and 16 are spaced apart from each other in the axial direction A.
  • the half-drawer 10A includes a first recess 17 in which can fade the ball 8 and the half-drawer 10B comprises a second obviously 18 in which can fade the ball 9; these two recesses 17 and 18 are spaced apart from one another in the axial direction A.
  • the ball 8 When the ball 8 is engaged in the recess 15 of the tube 4, it locks the displacement of the contact 2 in the axial direction A and when the rib 12A of the half-slide 10A is pushed by the nut 5 during the closing phase of the disconnector, the ball 8 comes in front of the recess 17 in which it can be erased to release the displacement of the movable contact 2. Moreover, when the ball 9 is engaged in the recess 16 of the tube 4, it locks the displacement of the contact 2 in the axial direction A and when the rib 12B of the half-slide 10B is pushed by the nut 5 during the opening phase of the disconnector, the ball 9 comes in front of the recess 18 in which it can fade to release the movement of the moving contact 2.
  • the fixed contact 1 ' is equipped with resistors R making it possible to obtain a particularly effective apparatus for protecting the connected equipment against transient overvoltages at very high frequencies when switchover of the disconnector on capacitive current.
  • the fixed contact 1 ' comprises an arc contact or cover 21 directly and only connected to resistors R. This cover has rounded corners providing a corona-shielding effect, and a slightly greater internal diameter to the diameter of the movable contact 2, so that the movable contact does not touch the cover at insertion.
  • the permanent contact 22 In order to also be able to switch high bus transfer currents without any risk of melting the contacts, the permanent contact 22 conventionally houses along its axis of symmetry a retractable arc contact 24 formed of a conducting rod coupled to a spring.
  • This rod also shown in the fixed contact 1 in Figure 3, is made of a material insensitive to heating, and can withstand a strong current at the moment when the movable contact 2 pushes it.
  • the heating produced is limited in that the connection of the movable contact to the permanent current contact 22 is carried out very shortly afterwards.
