Definitions

  • the invention relates to a control device for the coordinated actuation of at least two switching devices electrically connected in series to constitute a switching assembly of which a first switching device in the vacuum comprises a pair of separable contacts for the switching between a closed position and an open position.
  • the control device comprises a main operating shaft for operating a second switching device immersed in a gaseous insulating fluid contained in a certain volume at a predetermined pressure, and further comprises an auxiliary shaft adapted to be displaced by coupling means for allow the operation of a moving contact of the first switching device during a displacement of the main shaft, the movable contact being held in abutment against the other contact in the closed position of the first device by a force intended to produce a contact pressure greater than a determined value.
  • a certain contact pressure is generally necessary when a vacuum interrupter is closed, in order to prevent the contacts from separating under the effect of the electrodynamic repulsion forces. particularly if a short-circuit current flows through the switch.
  • the control device for operating a hybrid high voltage circuit breaker comprises a main operating shaft for operating a dielectric insulating gas switch such as SF 6 .
  • This hybrid circuit breaker is insulating in the air, since the gas switch breaking chamber is contained in an insulating casing which has fins on its outer surface.
  • the main operating shaft is contained in a compartment delimited by a housing, which communicates with another compartment delimited by the insulating envelope of the gas switch to allow the main shaft to be connected to the moving contact of the switch. .
  • This housing is sized to contain a vacuum switch whose fixed contact is connected to one of its walls. The housing is therefore a pole of the hybrid high voltage circuit breaker.
  • a connection terminal of this pole of the hybrid circuit breaker is fixed to the housing being interposed between the two compartments, so that the permanent current in the circuit breaker does not pass through the vacuum switch whose function is to support the transient voltage recovery during a power interruption.
  • the movable contact of the vacuum interrupter is electrically connected to the moving contact of the gas interrupter by a connecting braid, and is actuated by an auxiliary shaft which comprises spring means for producing a sufficient contact pressure when the vacuum interrupter is closed.
  • This auxiliary shaft is perpendicular to the main shaft and is coupled by a bracket-shaped lever which pivots about an axis fixed to the housing, which allows a movement return substantially 90 °.
  • the vacuum interrupter is subjected to the pressure of the dielectric insulating gas which fills the two compartments. Since a virtually zero pressure prevails in the sealed chamber of the vacuum interrupter, also known as the vacuum interrupter, this chamber must be designed to withstand the external gas pressure forces which may be particularly intense, particularly on the insulating cylindrical wall. as well as the metal bellows of the vacuum bulb. If the pressure of the insulating gas must be relatively high, generally greater than five bars when using a gas mixture with a proportion of nitrogen greater than 80% as known from the state of the art, or using pure nitrogen, it is possible to use a vacuum bulb whose structure of the sealed chamber is designed to resist this pressure, but this type of vacuum switch is still rare and particularly expensive.
  • JP 20003045300 which describes the realization of a resin molding around a vacuum ampoule intended to be immersed in a pure nitrogen medium under a pressure of several bars. This solution is still expensive to implement, and it remains difficult to avoid a too high pressure of insulating gas is applied in particular on the metal bellows of the bulb at the risk of deforming or breaking.
  • abutment member having substantially the shape of a socket whose bottom is pierced to be traversed by the auxiliary shaft.
  • This abutment member is firmly inserted inside a flange which is connected to the housing and which participates in the electrical connection in series of the two switching devices.
  • the elastic means deform being maintained between the bottom of the sleeve and a collar secured to a shaft of the auxiliary shaft. The free distance between this collar and a shoulder of the bushing determines the remaining travel for the moving contact of the vacuum interrupter until the switch is fully open.
  • the vacuum switch is located in a compartment adjacent to the compartment defined by the housing.
  • the two adjacent compartments communicate through the interior space of the abutment member, even though the passage for the insulating gas through the aforementioned spring arrangement is relatively narrow. Therefore, if the pressure of the insulating gas in the gas switch break chamber is to be relatively high, the vacuum switch compartment will inevitably be subjected to the same or nearly equal pressure. The problem of resistance to pressure for the sealed chamber of the vacuum interrupter can therefore also arise with such a hybrid circuit breaker device.
  • elastic means such as washers for producing the contact pressure in the vacuum switch do not allow to obtain a significant stroke for the movable contact of the switch.
  • elastic washers allow a maximum stroke of the order of a centimeter.
  • hybrid high-voltage circuit breakers will be required to respond to increasingly higher voltage ranges, which will require adopting vacuum switches with a spread of contacts increasingly important, typically greater than two centimeters. It seems in this case difficult to be able continue to use disk washers or springs in the control device of a vacuum interrupter, since the maximum spacing of the contacts of this switch would then be limited by the characteristics of these elastic contact pressure means independently of the intrinsic characteristics of the switch. It may be recalled in this regard that the maximum intrinsically permissible stroke for the moving contact of a vacuum interrupter generally depends on the elastic limits of the metal bellows sealing switch.
  • a first object of the invention is to make it possible to increase the insulating gas pressure in a gas switch of a switching assembly, and in particular of a hybrid cut-off switching assembly, without this necessitating increasing the protection of the vacuum interrupter against the pressure of the gas surrounding its sealed chamber, in particular at the level of the metal sealing bellows.
  • a second object of the invention is to propose a control device for a switching assembly comprising a vacuum interrupter, which allows to possibly do without a mechanical elastic arrangement to produce the contact pressure in the switch or that allows at least such an elastic arrangement does not have to produce alone the essential of the contact pressure required for the switch to pass a short-circuit current.

  • the insulating envelope 11 could as well be constituted by the dielectric material 28 overmolded if this material has sufficient mechanical rigidity and weather resistance. Only a small volume V 1 of gaseous fluid G 1 is adjacent to the sealed chamber of the vacuum interrupter, between the flange of the chamber traversed by the moving contact of the switch and the bore part 8 in which can slide the piston 4A of the auxiliary shaft 4.
  • the gas G 1 is not necessarily insulating, since it has no role of dielectric insulation to ensure between the poles of the vacuum switch, and it It is not necessary to control the pressure of this gas since a possible leak would not have any consequences on the dielectric insulation between the poles.
  • Sealing means 26 are provided here to prevent any communication between the volume V 1 and the outside atmosphere, and the gas G 1 is filled at a pressure higher than the atmospheric pressure so that a possible leakage of the volume V 1 is carried out in one direction towards the outside atmosphere.
  • This provision aims to maintain a volume V 1 free of moisture and dust of the outside atmosphere.
  • the gas G 1 is filled at the factory, during assembly of the switching assembly, at a pressure for example of the order of twice the atmospheric pressure and which corresponds to the temporary filling pressure of the gas G 2 in the casing 7 for the safe transport of the switching assembly before final on-site filling for operation. It is therefore not necessary to fill and control the volume V 1 after the switching assembly is out of the factory, which is significant for the operator.
  • the sealing means 26 are not essential, since it would be acceptable for the volume V 1 to be filled with air in communication with the outside atmosphere if the flange which is traversed by the moving contact of the switch vacuum is provided to operate in such a configuration.

  • the cam has made a rotation of almost 180 ° here, which can be continued while maintaining the spacing e. It may be noted that the profile of the cam would allow a reclosing of the vacuum switch by an additional stroke of the main shaft 2 and provided of course that the rack 21 has a sufficient length.
  • the coupling by a rotary cam allows a result similar to that obtained by a coupling using a cam in translation as in the control device of the figure 3 .
  • the control device of the figure 7 may have as advantages on the one hand to be able to reduce the relative speed of impact between the respective surfaces of the cam 14 'and the wheel 31 at the end of the dead stroke, and on the other hand to greatly reduce the transverse forces exerted on the main shaft 2, which allows in particular to limit the wear of the longitudinal guide elements of the shaft.
  • a coupling is more expensive to achieve than a coupling using a cam in translation.
  • the control device shown schematically on the figure 8 constitutes an improvement of the control device of the figure 3 .
  • Mechanical means of elastic compression are in fact added to reinforce the contact pressure in the closed position of passage of the current in the switching assembly.
  • These resilient compression means comprise a spring 35 which is mounted prestressed on the auxiliary shaft 4 in the direction of the axis Y of the shaft. This spring 35 has one end which bears against a pusher element 34 housed in an abutment member 34 'fixed to the cradle 4A3 of the shaft 4, and has another end which bears against the piston 4A of the shaft .
  • This pusher element 34 is able to be brought closer to the other end of the spring 35, by detaching from its stop position held by the member 34 ', when a low amplitude compression of the spring 35 is performed under the action of a finger 33 which is fixed to the main shaft 2 and which is here provided to slide against the push member 34.
  • Such compression of the spring 35 makes it possible to apply to the auxiliary shaft 4 a force which is added to the differential pressure force Fp provided by the difference in the respective pressures of the two gaseous insulating fluids, and which reinforces the pressure force.
  • contact F c in the closed position of the switching assembly that is to say the closing position of the switching device in the gas.
  • Such a configuration can be advantageous if the force Fp proves insufficient to ensure by itself the contact pressure force F c necessary to withstand the electrodynamic forces tending to move the contacts of the vacuum switch in the case of a short circuit current.
  • This configuration may indeed be preferred to the alternative which would be to increase the diameter of the piston 4A to increase the differential pressure force, because it allows to maintain a minimum value of contact pressure force even in case of significant gas leakage from the volume of the gas switch.
  • Such a minimum value of contact pressure force provided by a mechanical spring would make it possible to maintain operating the switching assembly in its closed position to pass a nominal current, even in the unlikely event that the volume of the gas switch would be reduced to atmospheric pressure following a very significant gas leak . There would thus be no repulsion (with separation) of the contacts of the vacuum interrupter and arcing of arcs between the contacts, provided that said minimum value of contact pressure force exceeds the minimum value required for a rated current specified.
  • a mechanical spring system to reinforce the contact pressure in a control device can constitute an appreciable security in terms of safety and continuity of operation of the switching assembly provided with the control device.
  • Other configurations than that of the device of the figure 8 for such additional systems with mechanical springs can be envisaged, and the mechanical energy of the spring or springs can be used to participate in the work of complete separation of the contacts of the vacuum switch, as shown in the following.
  • a complementary system with mechanical springs is shown schematically on the figure 9 , allowing an improvement of the actuating mechanism of the moving contact of the switching apparatus in the vacuum as shown in FIG. figure 3 .
  • This complementary system has mechanical means of elastic compression which comprise two springs 36 and 37 each acting on a pivoting arm whose one end comprises a wheel arranged to press against a profiled rolling surface on the cradle 4A3 of the auxiliary shaft 4, on the side of the end 4B of the shaft 4 which can slide in translation in a guide member 13 'fixed to the housing.
  • This complementary system with springs is shown in enlargement on the figure 9a .
  • the two pivoting arms 38 and 39 each carry a wheel 40 and 41 respectively.
  • the two profiled rolling surfaces on the cradle 4A3 are here symmetrical, as are the provisions of the springs 36 and 37 and the pivoting arms.
  • the resulting force F r exerted by the spring system is directed along the Y axis of the auxiliary shaft 4, due to the symmetry of the arrangement of the system with respect to this axis.
  • the profile of the rolling surfaces on the cradle 4A3 is provided so that the resulting force F r is directed in the same direction as the differential pressure force F p , thus participating in the contact pressure force F c which is equal to the sum Fp + F r .
  • This profile is also designed so that the force F r changes direction along the Y axis, during a displacement of the auxiliary shaft 4 consecutive to a maneuver of the main shaft 2 for opening or closing the switching assembly.
  • the change of direction of the force F r is visible on the figure 9b which represents the actuating mechanism in the open position of the switching assembly at the end of the circuit breaker function.
  • Each rolling surface has a profile with a lateral boss, so that the projected component on the Y axis of the force exerted by a spring 36 or 37 on the auxiliary shaft 4 vanishes to change direction when the contact between a wheel 40 or 41 and the running surface passes the top of the lateral boss.
  • the top of such a boss is defined as the zone of the boss furthest from the Y axis.
  • the force F r changes direction to oppose the differential pressure force Fp. It may be noted that such a change of direction makes it possible to reduce somewhat the work to be performed by the control mechanism of the main shaft 2 for complete opening. It is understood that the energies of the springs as well as the profiles of the lateral bosses are provided so that the force F r remains lower than Fp in absolute value, so that the auxiliary shaft 4 is always subjected to a resultant force equal to the sum of the mechanical and pneumatic forces which is directed towards the vacuum interrupter to allow a closing (or reclosing) of the contacts of the switch.
  • FIG. 9c is schematically shown another mechanism for improved operation of the moving contact of the switching apparatus in the vacuum.
  • the result is similar to that provided by the actuating mechanism of the figure 9 , and allows to a lesser extent to increase the contact pressure in this device without increasing the maneuvering energy required for the control device.
  • the two identical springs 36 and 37 arranged symmetrically with respect to the Y axis, each have a first end articulated in rotation on a fixed support, and a second end articulated in rotation on the auxiliary shaft.
  • the change of direction of the force F r is effected when the two springs are simultaneously oriented in the same direction perpendicular to the axis Y of the auxiliary shaft, which occurs in practice when the tree has traveled most of the stroke e for the desired spacing of the contacts of the vacuum switch.
  • FIG. 9d is schematically shown another improved actuation mechanism of the movable contact of the switching apparatus in the vacuum, which advantageously combines the two previous solutions.
  • the cradle 4A3 of the auxiliary shaft 4 comprises a single profiled running surface on which is supported a wheel mounted at one end of a pivoting arm.
  • one end of a spring 37 acts on this pivoting arm, and the profile of the rolling surface has a lateral boss provided so that the projected component on the Y axis of the force exerted by the spring 37 on the auxiliary shaft 4 can be canceled to change direction.
  • the cradle 4A3 also has a pivoting hinge attached to one end of another spring 36 as in the solution described with reference to the Figure 9c .
  • the spring 36 has a lower energy than the spring 37, and the resulting force F r exerted by the two springs on the shaft 4 has a component F r X which is oriented towards the gas switch, along the axis of X translation of the main shaft 2.
  • This orientation of the component F r X makes it possible to reduce the instantaneous forces at the contact surface 13'A between the end 4B of the shaft 4 and the guide element 13 'fixed to the casing 7.
  • These instantaneous forces are indeed relatively important when the cam 30 comes into contact with the wheel 31 during an opening operation of the switching assembly, due to the instantaneous speed of several meters per second for the translation of the main shaft 2, and a fortiori if the opening slope of the main portion 30A of the cam 30 is relatively pronounced.
  • the presence of the pivoting spring 36 is not essential, and its main role is to reinforce if necessary the component F r Y of the resultant force F r along the Y axis while decreasing the component F r X.

  • the vacuum switch is surrounded by a gas G 1 which is distributed on both sides of the piston 4A 'with substantially the same pressure P 1 .
  • the piston 4A ' may comprise a passage formed by a small channel 25, but such a channel is not normally necessary because even a relatively slow equalization of the pressure of the gas G 1 between the two sides of the piston is effected by the interstitial space 49 not gas tight.
  • a device 45 for measuring the pressure P 1 is provided in particular to control that this pressure remains above the low limit P 1min .
  • the wall 7 ' which separates the two gaseous insulating fluids G 1 and G 2 is sealingly sealed to the conductive plate 20, and has a flexible zone in the center of which is provided an opening which is traversed with sealing by the auxiliary shaft 4
  • This wall 7 ' is in the form of a sealing bellows, and may be made from a metal intended to provide a flexibility and sufficient mechanical strength. It preferably has the shape of a disk open at its center for the passage of the shaft 4. Its diameter may be much greater than the diameter of the piston 4A ', the latter can also be decreased as the electric conduction section by the sliding contacts 9 remains in adequacy with the current to be passed through the switching assembly.
  • the leakage rate of the gas G 2 at the pressure P 2 to the volume V 1 of the gas G 1 at the pressure P 1 is normally negligible, and the quantity of gas G 2 passing in this volume V 1 will normally always be lower than the quantity of gas G 1 can leak from this volume to the outside of the insulating envelope 11. There is therefore in principle no risk that the pressure P 1 increases until exceeding the maximum value P 1max critical for the mechanical structure of the vacuum interrupter, and it it is not necessary to provide a safety device such as a valve for evacuating gas G 1 under pressure.
  • a rupture disk 46 also sometimes called frangible disk and intended to break when the difference gas pressure between the two sides of the disc exceeds a determined breaking value.
  • This rupture disk 46 is mounted here on a metal annular piece 44 which electrically connects the bore piece 8 'to the conductive plate 20, and which also contributes to the seal between the volume V 1 and the external atmosphere.
  • FIG. 11 An alternative embodiment of the preceding control device of the figure 10 is schematically represented on the figure 11 .
  • This variant comprises a safety space at atmospheric pressure which operates on the safety principle used in the control device of the figure 7 .
  • the wall 7 ' which has a particular role of sealing bellows with respect to gas G 2 of the gas switch, would not provide a perfect seal, any gas leak G 2 through this bellows would be discharged to the outside atmosphere via a channel 24.
  • the volume V 1 which is between the wall 7 'and the piston 4A of the auxiliary shaft communicates with the outside atmosphere through the channel 24, and the G 1 gas contained in this volume V 1 is here atmospheric air.
  • a dielectric material 28 is overmolded around the sealed chamber of the vacuum interrupter.
  • the gas G 0 of the volume V 0 between the material 28 and the piston 4A is similar to the gas G 1 used for the device of the figure 7 and what has been said previously with respect to this gas remains valid for the present configuration.
  • the piston 4A has no role here to generate the necessary contact pressure force in the vacuum interrupter.
  • the gas G 0 is at a pressure preferably greater than atmospheric pressure, the differential pressure between the two sides of the piston generates a force which tends to oppose (while still much lower) the differential pressure force generated by the gas G 2 on the flexible wall 7 '.
  • the diameter of the piston 4A will be provided as small as possible, provided that the electrical conduction section through the sliding contacts 9 remains sufficient. It may be noted that the sealing means 26 and the annular sealing element 27 are not necessarily indispensable and that the gas G 0 could then be atmospheric air, as explained above in connection with the device of the figure 7 .
