- the ratio of the power flows is determined by the sizing of the bypass circuit (including remanent air gap) and the distance of the armature.
- the first magnetic flux (MK1) ensures that the magnet armature is held firmly on the pole faces. This armature holding force acts on the spring force contrary, which opens the magnet assembly in the absence or reduced magnetic force. In this case, the armature moves against stops, not shown.
- the excess of the armature holding force, generated by the magnetic flux through the armature against the spring force is a measure of the susceptibility of the magnet assembly to external mechanical influences.
- To open the magnet assembly should be sufficient minimum flooding (smallest current through the excitation coils depending on the number of turns), whereby the first magnetic flux is weakened so far that the spring force is sufficient to lift the armature. With the said small excitation current, a magnetic flux is generated, which is opposite to the magnetic flux through the armature and the virtually lossless urges the first magnetic flux in the bypass circuit substantially.

- the holding power is low and corresponds to the standby power of the control electronics.
- the design of the electronics is only determined by self-consumption.
- the magnetic circuit is energetically designed only for the situation 'magnet armature closing'.
- the turn-off energy should be saved in the phase of the tightening process, for example by charging a capacitor during the tightening process.
- the permanent magnet consists - as usual in comparable arrangements - of magnetically hard material, such as AlNico, which also seeerd connections are possible.
- the advantage of the magnet arrangement is in particular that a small space requirement for the excitation coil is necessary, whereby a compact structure can be achieved.

- the pole legs 11 are each comprised of bobbins with exciter windings 30, 32.
- the magnetic flux that can be generated by the exciter windings 30, 32 overlaps in the air gap with the magnetic flux of the permanent magnet 20. During the tightening process, the two magnetic fluxes subtract in the bypass circuit.
- the Jochbogenschenkel 24 each have a smaller cross section compared to the first transverse legs 12 and the armature

- This magnetic dimensioning ensures that in the holding position no magnetic energy must be supplied by the excitation coils; the holding force for the armature is applied solely by the permanent magnet.
- the electrical power of an associated electronic circuit can be minimized, since essentially only the provision of the tripping energy has to be ensured.
- the low tripping energy can, for example, be provided sufficiently via a suitably dimensioned storage capacitor or an inductance whose energy content can also be monitored by the electronic circuit.
- the drive of the magnet assembly (closing the armature, drive excitation) is generated by a powerful coil current (for example, 100 msec with a power of 100 watts), which generates a magnetic flux opposite to that of the permanent magnet in the pole legs and also the spring force on the armature overcomes.
- a powerful coil current for example, 100 msec with a power of 100 watts
- the magnetic bypass circuit MK2 contains only low magnetic energy.
- the exciting current can be switched off, since - as shown - the holding force is done statically.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Elektromagnetanordnung für einen Schalter, insbesondere für ein Schaltschütz, nach dem Oberbegriff des 1. Anspruchs.The invention relates to an electromagnet arrangement for a switch, in particular for a contactor, according to the preamble of the first claim.
Die elektrische und magnetische Dimensionierung von elektromagnetischen Schaltschützen wird in der Regel so ausgelegt, dass im Magnetanker-Haltezustand eine geringe elektrische Leistung aufzubringen ist (beispielsweise DE 195 26 038 A1). Dies ist schon deshalb angezeigt, weil sich Geräte dieser Art für die längere Zeit des Betriebs im Haltezustand befinden. Der Energieverbrauch im Haltezustand hat den Nachteil, dass sich das Gerät erwärmt. Typischerweise rechnet man mit Verlustleistungen im Haltezustand von einigen Watt. Bei Vakuumschaltgeräten müssen deutlich höhere Leistungen vorgehalten werden. In Anbetracht der Tatsache, dass Schütze oder Schalter in größerer Zahl in einem Schaltschrank zusammengefasst werden, entsteht die Notwendigkeit, aktive Maßnahmen zur Wärmeableitung vorzunehmen.The electrical and magnetic dimensioning of electromagnetic contactors is usually designed so that in the armature holding state, a low electrical power is applied (for example, DE 195 26 038 A1). This is already indicated because devices of this type are in the hold state for the longer period of operation. The energy consumption in the hold state has the disadvantage that the device heats up. Typically, one counts on power losses in the hold state of a few watts. For vacuum switching devices, significantly higher outputs must be provided. In view of the fact that contactors or switches are combined in large numbers in a control cabinet, there is a need to take active measures for heat dissipation.
Der Einsatz von Elektronik hat noch keine befriedigende Verbesserung gebracht. So bestehen bekannte Elektronik-Lösungen für Elektromagnetanordnungen darin, den Leistungsbedarf durch Impulsbreitenmodulation zu steuern. Diese Technik führt dazu, dass mit Verringerung der Leistung immer schmaler werdende Impulse in der Schaltung erzeugt werden müssen. Mit der Verschmälerung der Impulse treten zunehmend Oberschwingungen auf, die Probleme bei der elektromagnetischen Abschirmung und Verträglichkeit aufwerfen.The use of electronics has not brought any satisfactory improvement. Thus, known electronic solutions for electromagnet arrangements are to control the power requirement by pulse width modulation. As a result of this technique, as the power is reduced, ever narrower pulses must be generated in the circuit. With the narrowing of the pulses occur increasingly harmonics that pose problems in the electromagnetic shielding and compatibility.
Eine Magnetanordnung mit Schaltungsanordnung zur Erzeugung von Impulsfolgen zur Regelung der Leistung ist beispielsweise in der DE 39 10 810 A1 oder in der DE 195 26 038 A1 dargestellt.A magnet arrangement with circuit arrangement for generating pulse sequences for regulating the power is shown, for example, in DE 39 10 810 A1 or in DE 195 26 038 A1.
Es ist eine Magnetanordnung bekannt (US 4 020 433), bei der eine Freigabevorrichtung für den Öffnungsvorgang des Magnetkreises beschrieben ist. Die Freigabevorrichtung ist derart ausgestaltet, dass ein geringer Strom zur Durchflutung der Erregerspulen ausreicht, um den Öffnungsvorgang einzuleiten.There is known a magnet arrangement (US Pat. No. 4,020,433), in which a release device for the opening process of the magnetic circuit is described. The release device is designed such that a small current to flow through the excitation coils is sufficient to initiate the opening process.
Es ist die Aufgabe der Erfindung, eine Elektromagnetanordnung anzugeben, die für den Haltebetrieb optimiert ist.It is the object of the invention to provide an electromagnet arrangement which is optimized for the holding operation.
Die Lösung wird in den Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs wiedergegeben. Weitergehende Ausgestaltungen sind in den Unteransprüchen zu finden.The solution is reflected in the features of the main claim. Further developments can be found in the subclaims.
Die Magnetanordnung geht von folgendem Aufbau aus:
- ein aus einem, vorzugsweise U-förmigem Magnetjoch und einem Magnetanker gebildeten Hauptmagnetkreis,
- einem in Wirkverbindung mit dem Magnetanker stehenden Kontaktapparat des Schalters, und einen mit einer Rückstelleinrichtung beaufschlagten, vorzugsweise federbelasteten Magnetanker,
- mindestens einem im Hauptmagnetkreis angeordneten Permanentmagneten für die Erzeugung der Haltekraft für den Magnetanker und
- mindestens eine an mindestens einem Polschenkel, also am Magnetjoch angeordnete Erregerwicklung für die Erzeugung der Anzugskraft für den vom Magnetjoch getrennten Magnetanker. Die Elektromagnetanordnung wird elektronisch von einer zugehörigen Schaltungsanordnung angesteuert.
- a main magnetic circuit formed of a preferably U-shaped magnetic yoke and a magnet armature,
- a contact device of the switch, which is in operative connection with the magnet armature, and a preferably spring-loaded magnet armature which is acted upon by a return device,
- at least one arranged in the main magnetic circuit permanent magnets for the generation of the holding force for the armature and
- at least one arranged on at least one pole leg, so the magnetic yoke excitation winding for the generation of the attractive force for the magnetic armature separated from the magnet yoke. The electromagnet arrangement is controlled electronically by an associated circuit arrangement.
Der Kern der Erfindung besteht darin, dass parallel zum Hauptmagnetkreis ein Nebenschlusskreis ausgebildet ist, welcher ebenfalls über den Magnetanker schließbar ist und der Nebenschlusskreis aus den beiden Polschenkeln und einem zweiten polflächenabgewandt am Magnetjoch angeordneten Jochbogen besteht, der von einem Remanenzluftspalt unterbrochen ist.
Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen liegen in folgendem:The essence of the invention is that a bypass circuit is formed parallel to the main magnetic circuit, which is also closable via the magnet armature and the bypass circuit consists of the two pole legs and a second polflächenabgewandt arranged on the magnetic yoke yoke, which is interrupted by a remanence air gap.
Further advantageous embodiments are in the following:
Die Magnetanordnung (das Magnetjoch, der zweite Jochbogen und der Permanentmagnet) ist magnetisch so dimensioniert, dass die Halteleistung - für den Zustand Magnetanker angezogen - ohne Bestromung der Erregerwicklung allein vom Permanentmagneten aufgebracht wird.The magnet arrangement (the magnetic yoke, the second yoke arc and the permanent magnet) is magnetically dimensioned so that the holding power - attracted to the magnet armature state - is applied solely by the permanent magnet without energizing the exciter winding.
Der Permanentmagnet erzeugt einen ersten magnetischen Kraftfluss (MK1) durch die Polschenkel und den Magnetanker und einen zweiten Kraftfluss (MK2) durch die zweiten durch den Nebenschlußkreis mit Remanenzflußssspalt. Der Absolutbetrag beider Kraftflüsse ist durch den Ladezustand des Permanentmagneten gegeben. Das Verhältnis der Kraftflüsse ist durch die Dimensionierung des Nebenschlusskreises (einschließlich Remanentluftspalt) und des Abstandes des Magnetankers bestimmt. Der erste magnetische Kraftfluss (MK1) sorgt dafür, dass der Magnetanker fest auf den Polflächen gehalten wird. Diese Ankerhaltekraft wirkt der Federkraft entgegen, welche bei fehlender oder verringerter Magnetkraft die Magnetanordnung öffnet. Hierbei bewegt sich der Magnetanker gegen nicht gezeigte Anschläge. Der Überschuss der Ankerhaltekraft, erzeugt durch den magnetischen Fluss durch den Magnetanker, gegenüber der Federkraft ist ein Mass für die Störempfindlichkeit der Magnetanordnung gegen äußere mechanische Einflüsse. Zum Öffnen der Magnetanordnung soll eine minimale Durchflutung ausreichen (kleinster Strom durch die Erregerspulen je nach Windungszahl), wodurch der erste Magnetfluss soweit geschwächt wird, dass die Federkraft ausreicht, den Magnetanker abzuheben. Mit dem besagten kleinen Erregerstrom wird ein Magnetfluss erzeugt, der dem Magnetfluss durch den Magnetanker entgegengesetzt ist und der praktisch verlustlos den ersten magnetische Kraftfluss im wesentlichen in den Nebenschlusskreis drängt.The permanent magnet generates a first magnetic flux (MK1) through the pole legs and the armature and a second flux (MK2) through the second through the remanence flux splits. The absolute value of both power flows is given by the state of charge of the permanent magnet. The ratio of the power flows is determined by the sizing of the bypass circuit (including remanent air gap) and the distance of the armature. The first magnetic flux (MK1) ensures that the magnet armature is held firmly on the pole faces. This armature holding force acts on the spring force contrary, which opens the magnet assembly in the absence or reduced magnetic force. In this case, the armature moves against stops, not shown. The excess of the armature holding force, generated by the magnetic flux through the armature against the spring force is a measure of the susceptibility of the magnet assembly to external mechanical influences. To open the magnet assembly should be sufficient minimum flooding (smallest current through the excitation coils depending on the number of turns), whereby the first magnetic flux is weakened so far that the spring force is sufficient to lift the armature. With the said small excitation current, a magnetic flux is generated, which is opposite to the magnetic flux through the armature and the virtually lossless urges the first magnetic flux in the bypass circuit substantially.
Zum Schließen der Magnetanordnung wird ein durchaus großer Erregerstrom eingesetzt, der bei dem Maximalhub des Magnetankers ausreicht, die Federkraft zu überwinden. Mit zunehmender Annäherung des Magnetankers an die Polflächen verschieben sich die Magnetflüsse zwischen Haupt- und Nebenflusskreis bei gleichbleibender magnetischer Energie.To close the magnet arrangement, a quite large excitation current is used, which is sufficient in the maximum stroke of the magnet armature to overcome the spring force. As the magnet armature approaches the pole faces, the magnetic fluxes between the main and tributary circuits shift with the same magnetic energy.
Das Magnetjoch ist U-förmig ausgebildet und besteht aus zwei L-förmigen Hälften mit einem längeren Polschenkel und einem kürzeren Querschenkel, wobei je ein Polschenkel den Kontaktflächen des Magnetankers zugewandt ist.The magnetic yoke is U-shaped and consists of two L-shaped halves with a longer pole leg and a shorter transverse leg, wherein each pole leg faces the contact surfaces of the magnet armature.
Der Permanentmagnet ist mittig zwischen den Querschenkeln eingeklemmt, wobei keine Verschweißung vorgenommen ist. Der zweite Jochbogen ist parallel zu den Querschenkeln angeordnet.The permanent magnet is clamped in the middle between the transverse legs, whereby no welding is made. The second zygomatic arch is arranged parallel to the transverse legs.
Der Remanenzluftspalt, dessen Breite in der Größenordnung von 0,3 mm liegt, kann luftgefüllt oder mit einem unmagnetischen Material gefüllt sein.The remanence air gap, whose width is on the order of 0.3 mm, may be air-filled or filled with a non-magnetic material.
Die Erregerwicklung der Magnetanordnung ist mit einem Energiespeicher verschaltet, dessen Energieinhalt ausreicht, den Magnetanker aus dem Haltezustand zu lösen. Der Energiespeicher kann ein Speicherkondensator oder eine Induktivität sein.The excitation winding of the magnet arrangement is connected to an energy store whose energy content is sufficient to release the magnet armature from the holding state. The energy store may be a storage capacitor or an inductor.
Vorzugsweise wird der Schaltungsanordnung eine Überwachungseinheit zur Kontrolle des Spannungszustandes des Energiespeichers zugeordnet, so dass die Anordnung auf eine andere Energiequelle umgeschaltet werden kann.Preferably, the circuit arrangement is associated with a monitoring unit for controlling the voltage state of the energy store, so that the arrangement can be switched to another source of energy.
Der Vorteil der Erfindung liegt darin, dass eine Schaltungsanordnung (vorzugsweise mit Pulsbreitenmodulation) zur Ansteuerung der Erregerwicklung und zur Lieferung der elektrischen Energie für die Erregerwicklung praktisch im 'Stand-by-Betrieb' betrieben werden kann.The advantage of the invention is that a circuit arrangement (preferably with pulse width modulation) for driving the exciter winding and for supplying the electrical energy for the excitation winding can be operated practically in 'stand-by mode'.
Die EMV-Maßnahmen können reduziert werden, da im Haltezustand nur die elektrische Energie für die Leerlaufleistung der Schaltung bereitgestellt werden muss. Bei vergleichbaren Magnetanordnungen wird im Haltezustand getaktet, wodurch Störfelder nicht vermeidbar sind. Die Ausschaltleistung ist minimal. Die Halteleistung ist gering und entspricht der Stand-by-Leistung der Ansteuerelektronik. Die Auslegung der Elektronik wird nur vom Eigenverbrauch bestimmt. Der Magnetkreis ist energetisch gesehen nur für die Situation 'Magnetanker-Schließen' ausgelegt. Vorzugsweise soll die Ausschaltenergie in der Phase des Anzugsvorgangs gesichert werden, beispielsweise durch Aufladen eines Kondensators während des Anzugsvorgangs.The EMC measures can be reduced because in the hold state, only the electrical energy for the idle power of the circuit must be provided. In comparable magnet arrangements is clocked in the hold state, whereby interference fields are unavoidable. The breaking capacity is minimal. The holding power is low and corresponds to the standby power of the control electronics. The design of the electronics is only determined by self-consumption. The magnetic circuit is energetically designed only for the situation 'magnet armature closing'. Preferably, the turn-off energy should be saved in the phase of the tightening process, for example by charging a capacitor during the tightening process.
Der Permanentmagnet besteht- wie in vergleichbaren Anordnungen üblich - aus magnetisch hartem Material, beispielsweise aus AlNico, wobei auch Seitenerd-Verbindungen möglich sind.The permanent magnet consists - as usual in comparable arrangements - of magnetically hard material, such as AlNico, which also Seitenerd connections are possible.
Der Vorteil der Magnetanordnung liegt insbesondere darin, dass ein geringer Raumbedarf für die Erregerspule notwendig ist, womit ein kompakter Aufbau erreichbar ist.The advantage of the magnet arrangement is in particular that a small space requirement for the excitation coil is necessary, whereby a compact structure can be achieved.
Die Erfindung kann auch überall dort eingesetzt werden, wo die Bewegung des Magnetankers in Form eines Linearantriebs umgesetzt werden kann.The invention can also be used wherever the movement of the armature can be implemented in the form of a linear drive.

Das Magnetjoch 10 hat U-Form und besteht aus zwei - in Bezug auf die senkrechte Symmetrieachse SA - symmetrischen Hälften (in L-Form) mit längeren Polschenkeln 11 und kurzen Querschenkeln 12. Die Querschenkel sind gegeneinander hin angeordnet. Zwischen den Querschenkeln wird ein Permanentmagnet 20 gehaltert. Hierzu sind die Enden der Querschenkel mit Nasen 19 ausgebildet, zwischen denen der Permanentmagnet beim Zusammenbau eingeklemmt ist. Entgegen, vergleichbaren Magnetaufbauten, in denen aufwendige Laserschweißverbindungen vorgenommen werden, handelt es sich hier um einen elegant einfachen Aufbau. Die Figur 3 zeigt die Zusammenbauzeichnung, aus der erkennbar ist, dass die Magnetanordnung aus Blechpaketen besteht und über Deckbleche 80 vernietet sind, woraus sich der mechanische Zusammenhalt ergibt.The
Die freien Enden der Polschenkel 11 bilden eine Ebene als Polflächen zum Magnetanker 60. Der Magnetanker 60 besteht aus einem plattenförmigen Körper mit seitlich angesetzten Fortsätzen 61. Am Magnetanker, der vorzugsweise linear beweglich sein soll, wird eine Rückstellkraft durch mindestens eine (nicht dargestellte) Feder (36) erzeugt. Der Magnetanker hat einen Luftspalt oder Hub 18. Eine Wirkverbindung des Magnetankers mit einem Kontaktapparat des Schalters oder Schützes ist vorhanden, jedoch nicht dargestellt.The
Das Magnetjoch ist in üblicher Form als Blechpaket ausgebildet. Seitlich, den Querschenkeln 12 gegenüberliegend, sind Befestigungsschenkel 41 mit je einer Bohrung angeordnet, an denen die Magnetanordnung in einem Gehäuse befestigt werden kann.The magnetic yoke is formed in the usual form as a laminated core. Laterally, the
Dem ersten Magnetflusskreis MK1 ist ein magnetischer Nebenschlusskreis MK2 zugeordnet, dieser ist am Magnetjoch (11,12) polflächenabgewandt vorhanden. Der Nebenschlusskreis wird durch zwei, zu den kurzen Querschenkeln 12 parallel liegende zweite Jochbogenschenkel 24 (Parallelschenkel) gebildet. Querschenkel und Jochbogenschenkel sind durch eine Nut voneinander abgesetzt, ansonsten jedoch sind sie körperlicher Bestandteil des Magnetjochs.The first magnetic flux circuit MK1 is associated with a magnetic bypass circuit MK2, this is the pole yoke (11,12) available polflächenabgewandt. The bypass circuit is formed by two, parallel to the short
Die Polschenkel 11 werden jeweils von Spulenkörpern mit Erregerwicklungen 30, 32 umfasst. Der von den Erregerwicklungen 30, 32 erzeugbare Magnetfluss überlagert sich im Luftspalt mit dem Magnetfluss des Permanentmagneten 20. Während des Anzugsvorgangs subtrahieren sich im Nebenschlusskreis die beiden Magnetflüsse.The
Die Jochbogenschenkel 24 haben jeweils geringeren Querschnitt im Vergleich zu den ersten Querschenkeln 12 und dem MagnetankerThe
Funktionsbedingt ist jedoch während des Anzugsvorgangs die höchste magnetische Flussdichte im Magnetanker.Functionally, however, during the tightening process, the highest magnetic flux density in the armature.
Die Jochbogenschenkel sind durch einen Remanenzluftspalt 25 getrennt. Die Weite des Remanenzluftspaltes beträgt ca. 0,3 mm. Mit den Querschnitten der Jochbogenschenkel und der Weite des Remanenzluftspalts sind die Verhältnisse der Magnetflüsse MK1 und MK2 zueinander definiert.The Jochbogenschenkel are separated by a
Der Permanentmagnet erzeugt aufgrund seiner magnetischen Energie einen Magnetfluss, der sich in die beiden Magnetflusskreise MK1 und MK2 aufteilt. Die Ausbildung der Magnetanordnung, insbesondere die Stärke des Permanentmagneten ist so gewählt, dass im Haltezustand (Magnetanker angezogen, ohne Beaufschlagung der elektrischen Erregung durch die Spulen 30,32) der Magnetanker am Magnetjoch für alle Betriebsbedingungen sicher gehalten wird.Due to its magnetic energy, the permanent magnet generates a magnetic flux which is divided into the two magnetic flux circuits MK1 and MK2. The design of the magnet arrangement, in particular the strength of the permanent magnet is chosen so that in the holding state (magnet attracted, without applying the electrical excitation through the
Durch diese magnetische Dimensionierung wird erreicht, dass in der Haltelage keine magnetische Energie von den Erregungsspulen geliefert werden muss; die Haltekraft für den Magnetanker wird allein vom Permanentmagneten aufgebracht. Damit wird vorzugsweise erreicht, dass sich die elektrische Leistung einer zugehörigen Elektronikschaltung minimieren lässt, da im wesentlichen nur die Bereitstellung der Auslöseenergie sichergestellt werden muss. Die geringe Auslöseenergie kann beispielsweise hinreichend über einen passend bemessenen Speicherkondensator oder eine induktivität bereitgestellt werden, deren Energieinhalt ebenfalls von der Elektronikschaltung überwacht werden kann.This magnetic dimensioning ensures that in the holding position no magnetic energy must be supplied by the excitation coils; the holding force for the armature is applied solely by the permanent magnet. Thus, it is preferably achieved that the electrical power of an associated electronic circuit can be minimized, since essentially only the provision of the tripping energy has to be ensured. The low tripping energy can, for example, be provided sufficiently via a suitably dimensioned storage capacitor or an inductance whose energy content can also be monitored by the electronic circuit.
Um den Magnetanker aus der Haltelage in die Offenstellung (die beispielsweise die AUS-Stellung eines Schalters bedeutet) zu bewegen, bedarf es denn auch nur einer kleinen Energie. Diese wird von der Ansteuerelektronik zu den Erregerwicklungen 30, 32 geliefert, deren Magnetfluss den Fluss durch die Polflächen definiert soweit schwächen, dass die Haltekraft überwunden wird.To move the armature from the holding position in the open position (which means, for example, the OFF position of a switch), it requires only a small amount of energy. This is supplied by the control electronics to the
Der Flussverlauf ändert sich entsprechend und der Hauptteil der magnetischen Energie wird in den Nebenschlusskreis (Jochbogenschenkel 24; Remanenzluftspalt 25) gezwungen. Zum Abschalten kann ein Speicherkondensator eingesetzt werden, da hierzu eine Leistung von max. 1 Watt ausreicht. Ein solcher Kondensator hat keine nennenswerte Verlustleistung, so dass in der elektrischen Ansteuer-Schaltungsanordnung im Haltezustand allein eine Leerlaufleistung in der Größenordnung von deutlich unter 1 Watt bereitgestellt werden muss.The flow changes accordingly and the main part of the magnetic energy is forced into the bypass circuit (
Der Antrieb der Magnetanordnung (Schließen des Magnetankers; Antriebserregung) wird durch einen kräftigen Spulenstrom (beispielsweise für 100 msec mit einer Leistung von 100 Watt) erzeugt, der einen Magnetfluss erzeugt, der dem des Permanentmagneten in den Polschenkeln entgegengesetzt ist und auch die Federkraft am Magnetanker überwindet. Mit zunehmender Annäherung des Magnetankers an die Polflächen verdichtet sich das Magnetfeld im Magnetkreis MK1. Der magnetische Nebenschlusskreis MK2 enthält nur noch geringe magnetische Energie.The drive of the magnet assembly (closing the armature, drive excitation) is generated by a powerful coil current (for example, 100 msec with a power of 100 watts), which generates a magnetic flux opposite to that of the permanent magnet in the pole legs and also the spring force on the armature overcomes. As the magnet armature approaches the pole faces, the magnetic field in the magnetic circuit MK1 compresses. The magnetic bypass circuit MK2 contains only low magnetic energy.
Nach Kontakt des Magnetankers mit den Polflächen (Schließen) kann der Erregerstrom abgeschaltet werden, da - wie dargestellt - die Haltekraft statisch geleistet wird.After contact of the magnet armature with the pole faces (closing), the exciting current can be switched off, since - as shown - the holding force is done statically.
