Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a high-voltage isolating switch in the air.
  • An isolator includes an arm, often called a blade, pivoting about a horizontal axis and electrically connected at one of its ends to a first connector disposed at the top of a first insulating column; the other end of the arm, the free end, comprises a contact piece, called hammer, which cooperates, in the closed position of the disconnector, with a jaw connected to a second connector disposed at the top of a second insulating column.
  • the jaw consists of two parallel rows facing each other, contact pieces each formed of a curved copper blade and attached to a jaw support.
  • the hammer that extends the arm at its end is a heavy and expensive piece of bronze whose section by a plane perpendicular to the axis of the arm corresponds to a circle of smaller diameter than that of the arm and which flattens on a diameter extending to join the diameter of the arm, the thickness of these two diametral extensions being 2 to 3 mm with rounded edges.
  • the present invention proposes to improve certain aspects of a disconnector of this type and relates to an air-insulated high-voltage disconnector comprising a pivotable arm capable of pivoting at one of its ends, around a horizontal axis perpendicular to the axis ⁇ of the arm and also able to rotate about its own axis ⁇ , the free end of the arm carrying a contact piece called cooperating hammer, in the closed position of the disconnector, with a jaw comprising a support of jaw to which are fixed two rows facing contact fingers, characterized in that said contact fingers are tubular and open at both ends.
  • said fingers facing each other form between them an angle ⁇ of between 2 and 6 °.
  • said contact fingers are fixed to the jaw support so that, in the closed position of the disconnector, the angle E between the axis ⁇ of the arm and the contact fingers is greater than 90 °.
  • said hammer is equipped with contact pads cooperating with the contact fingers, each contact pad forming a corner, of angle ⁇ , which, when closing the disconnector, meets the corresponding row of fingers with a angle of attack ⁇ , said angle of attack ⁇ being less than 90 °.
  • each contact plate has a curved contact face extending over an angle ⁇ , seen from the axis ⁇ of the arm, this angle ⁇ being of the order of 17 °.
  • the angle ⁇ seen from the axis ⁇ of the arm, between this point of contact and the perpendicular plane the contact finger passing through the axis ⁇ , is of the order of 10 °.
  • a disconnector comprising a pivoting arm 1 axis ⁇ pivotable in a vertical plane about a horizontal axis perpendicular to ⁇ , not shown, located to the left of the Fig. 1 .
  • the unrepresented part of the arm, its pivoting control about said horizontal axis, as well as its rotation control about its axis ⁇ , as well as its support, do not form part of the invention and could, for example, be in accordance with the invention. to what is described in the patent French 2,674,985 with reference to the Fig. 1 .
  • the arm 1 is tubular, as can be seen well Fig. 2 , and carries at its free end a contact piece called hammer 2.
  • the hammer is composed of an aluminum support piece 3 on which two copper contact plates 4A and 4B have been fixed. This lighten the hammer.
  • contact pads 4A and 4B of a particular shape, specified below, constitute the cooperating contact parts, in the closed position of the disconnector with two rows, facing each other, of contact fingers 5A and 5B of the disconnector jaw.
  • a jaw support 6 which fingers 5A and 5B are attached to a jaw support 6 by a weld 7. At the jaw support 6 is fixed a stop 8 for limiting the penetration of the arm 1 between the fingers 5A and 5B of the jaw. A connector 9 is also attached to the jaw support 6. A second connector, not shown, is electrically connected to the not shown end of the arm 1, the side of its articulation about a horizontal axis.
  • the jaw is supported at the upper end of a carrier insulator that is not visible, Fig. 1 , that the fitting 10 of its upper end.
  • the arm 1 When closing, the arm 1 begins to pivot about its horizontal axis until it enters the jaw between the fingers 5A and 5B by making a pivoting angle of about 92 °, and then the arm 1 turns around. its axis ⁇ of 90 ° in the direction of the arrow 15, Fig. 7 . It is then that one is in a closed position, as represented on these Fig. 1 to 3 .
  • the fingers 5A and 5B are fixed to the jaw support 6 so that the angle E between the axis ⁇ of the arm 1 in the closed position and the fingers 5A-5B is greater than 90 ° .
  • the force F is maximum when the fingers 5A-5B are perpendicular to the axis ⁇ of the arm 1 and it decreases when this angle increases. Taking for example an angle E of 120 °, the force F is about 0.6 times that in the case where the angle E is 90 °.
  • the fingers 5A and 5B being traversed in the same direction by the current, tend to get closer; thus, in the event of a short circuit, this approaching force is important and the force F results in a pulling force of the fingers of the jaw support.
  • the angle E is about 120 ° and preferably between 100 and 140 °.
  • the fingers 5A and 5B are not parallel but form between them a slight angle ⁇ of a few degrees of the order of 2 to 6 °.
  • the fingers 5A and 5B are welded to the jaw support 6 at an angle D of 88 °, which gives an angle of 4 ° between the fingers 5A and 5B.
  • a locking abutment 11 is attached to a contact finger 5B at a level above the hammer 2 in position closed disconnector.
  • this stop 11 has no disadvantage since the opening begins with a 90 ° rotation of the hammer 2 in the direction of the arrow marked 12, Fig. 2 , before the pivoting of the arm 1 about a horizontal axis perpendicular to the plane of the Fig. 1 .
  • the fingers 5A and 5B facing each other are fixed, as has been said, to the jaw support 6 by welding 7 with the angles E and D and have a profile tubular opening at both ends so as to induce convective heat exchange in the tube.
  • These fingers are aluminum and each equipped, on the face facing the opposite row, a copper contact blade 13A, 13B cooperating directly with the contact pads 4A, 4B copper hammer 2.
  • This arrangement of aluminum tubular fingers just equipped with copper contact blades can greatly reduce the weight of the contact fingers compared to curved copper blades of the prior document cited in the introduction, for improved thermal performance and having sufficient rigidity fingers requiring no additional spring, as is generally necessary in the prior art where a spring is disposed between the jaw support and the curvature of the curved copper blade to provide sufficient rigidity.
  • a retaining rod, respectively 14A, 14B and 14C connects, in pairs, the fingers 5A and 5B so as to limit their spacing. These retaining rods are located approximately mid-length of the contact fingers 5A, 5B.
  • the arm 1 undergoes an electrodynamic force of lateral displacement in the direction of F 1 or F 2 ( Fig. 2 ), depending on whether the short-circuit occurs with a phase to the right or left of the phase on which the disconnector currently described is located.
  • This displacement thanks to the spring action of the fingers and the retaining rods 14A, 14B and 14C does not cause contact break between the contact parts 4A and 4B of the hammer and the contact blades 13A, 13B of the fingers .
  • the Fig. 5 shows the section of a finger, for example 5B, and the Fig. 6 this same finger in section according to VI-VI of the Fig. 5 .
  • the plates which comprise a wedge end 16 having an angle ⁇ meet the fingers with an angle of attack ⁇ .
  • This angle of attack ⁇ is less than 90 ° and preferably of the order of 60 °, and makes it possible to break the ice that may have formed on the contact blades 13A, 13B.
  • the angle ⁇ of the corner 16 is for example of the order of 30 to 40 °.
  • this contact occurs when the distance separating the axis ⁇ from the tip of the wedge 16 is greater than the distance separating the axis ⁇ from the fingers 13A, 13B so that from that moment up to the tip of the corner 16 comes to point 18, which corresponds to a rotation of an angle ⁇ of about 10 °; the contact pads 4A, 4B push the fingers 5A, 5B acting as a spring, the contact pressure increasing to this point. Then, the contact face 19 being curved, the contact pressure remains substantially constant over a range of rotation of an angle ⁇ , Fig. 8 , about 17 ° corresponding to the angle ⁇ that covers the contact surface 19 of contact pads 4A, 4B seen from the axis ⁇ .
  • This range of contact at constant pressure on an angle ⁇ of about 17 ° makes it possible to overcome the angular gaps resulting from a deficient adjustment or a loss of precision caused by the wear of the components.
