Definitions

  • the electrical resistance as a function of the second position and the path-time characteristic of the liquid metal along the direction of movement is chosen so that in each second position of the liquid metal, the product of electrical resistance and current smaller than one Arc ignition voltage between the liquid metal and the fixed electrodes and intermediate electrodes and a sufficient slope of the current limit for controlling network-related short-circuit currents is achieved.
  • Claim 6 shows an advantageous, because automatic and at the same time self-recovering current limit.
  • the positioning means 3a; 20, B, 12 for moving and spatially positioning the liquid metal 3 along a movement direction x in at least one second position x 12 , x 2 include the channels 3a and a transport or drive means 20, B, 12 for the liquid metal 3, in particular also one Drive control 11 (as shown in Fig. 6).
  • a transport or drive means 20, B, 12 for the liquid metal 3, in particular also one Drive control 11 (as shown in Fig. 6).
  • an electromagnetic drive 20, B or a mechanical drive with a dielectric fluid 12 is provided, through which the liquid metal 3 between the nominal current path 30 and the current limiting path 31 is movable.
  • the electrical resistance R x as a function R x (x 12 ) of the second position x 12 and a path-time characteristic x 12 (t) of the liquid metal 3 along the direction of movement x should be selected so that in every second position x 12 , x 2 of the liquid metal 3 is the product of electrical resistance R x and current I 2 is smaller than an arc ignition voltage U b between the liquid metal 3 and the fixed electrodes 2a, 2b and intermediate electrodes 2c and / or that a sufficient slope of the current limit for controlling network-related short-circuit currents i ( t) is achieved.
  • F r restoring force, in particular equal to gravitational force
  • an electromagnetic force F F mag , which is exerted on the liquid metal 3 by self-interaction of the flowing current i (t), was assumed by way of example.
  • the isolation path 32 for power cutoff is arranged above the second current path 31 and / or below the first current path 30.
  • the isolation path 32 for power cutoff is arranged above the second current path 31 and / or below the first current path 30.
