Abstract

The equipment has a vacuum circuit breaker (3) and a vacuum bulb (5) occupying open and closed positions of the equipment. The breaker has a contact (6) and another contact initially opened to create arc and an arc voltage to allow the current to be derived in the breaker/bulb. The opening of the contacts continues until an insulation distance between the contacts is obtained and before opening of contacts (8, 9) of the bulb so as to avoid dielectric flashover on the bulb during establishment of re-establishment transitory voltage after closing the contacts.

Description

La présente invention concerne un appareillage de distribution électrique destinée à être interposée entre deux parties d'un circuit électrique de manière à assurer au moins la fonction de passage du courant entre les parties et de coupure du courant en cas de défaut électrique.The present invention relates to an electrical distribution apparatus intended to be interposed between two parts of an electrical circuit so as to ensure at least the function of current flow between the parts and cut-off of the current in the event of an electrical fault.

On connaît par exemple une cellule de distribution électrique du genre précédemment mentionnée, telle que décrite dans la demande de brevet FR 2 940 516 . Cette cellule comporte un interrupteur ou un disjoncteur réalisant également la fonction sectionneur et, en série avec cet interrupteur (ou disjoncteur) un sélecteur à au moins deux positions respectivement une position de passage du courant et une position de mise à la terre.For example, an electrical distribution cell of the kind mentioned above, as described in the patent application, is known. FR 2 940 516 . This cell comprises a switch or a circuit breaker also performing the disconnector function and, in series with this switch (or circuit breaker) a selector at least two positions respectively a current passage position and a grounding position.

Cette cellule est conçue pour conduire un courant de 630 A et n'est donc pas apte à conduire des niveaux de courant supérieurs, comme par exemple de 1250A.This cell is designed to conduct a current of 630 A and is therefore not able to conduct higher current levels, such as 1250A.

Lorsqu'il est nécessaire d'augmenter les performances en courant nominal de telles cellules, voir de toute cellule similaire, ceci nécessite d'importants investissements et des mises au point importantes, en particulier lorsque ces cellules utilisent des technologies onéreuses par exemple la technique de l'isolation blindée.When it is necessary to increase the nominal current performance of such cells, see any similar cell, this requires significant investment and development, especially when these cells use expensive technologies such as the technique of shielded insulation.

En outre, ces cellules pouvant supporter un courant nominal plus important que le milieu de gamme correspondent en général au sein d'une gamme à de faibles volumes de consommation, d'où il résulte que les coûts industriels d'une telle adaptation ne sont pas justifiés.In addition, these cells that can withstand a higher nominal current than the mid-range generally correspond within a range with low consumption volumes, which means that the industrial costs of such an adaptation are not justified.

De plus, la fonction de conduction du courant est assez onéreuse et problématique dans le cas des disjoncteurs à vide, ceci étant dû au dimensionnement des contacts des ampoules, ainsi qu'à leur forte résistance de contact celle-ci variant avec le nombre de coupure effectuées.In addition, the current conduction function is quite expensive and problematic in the case of vacuum circuit-breakers, this being due to the dimensioning of the contacts of the bulbs, and their high contact resistance, which varies with the number of cut-offs. performed.

D'autre part, développer de telles cellules à fort courant augmente le nombre de références des sous-ensembles, sans compter tous les développements périphériques nécessaires assurant les fonctions principales de la cellule à savoir les fonctions diélectrique et de distribution de courant, cette fonction électrique nécessitant dans certains cas un surmoulage complexe de l'ampoule.On the other hand, developing such cells with high current increases the number of references of the subsets, without counting all the necessary peripheral developments ensuring the main functions of the cell namely the dielectric and current distribution functions, this electrical function requiring in some cases a complex overmoulding of the bulb.

La présente invention résout ces problèmes et propose une cellule de distribution électrique de conception simple et économique pouvant supporter un courant nominal important sans augmenter considérablement les investissements nécessaires et le nombre de sous-ensembles réalisés.The present invention solves these problems and proposes a simple and economical electrical distribution cell that can withstand a large nominal current without considerably increasing the necessary investments and the number of subsets made.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, on voit un appareillage électrique multipolaire comportant pour chaque pôle deux cellules 1,2 montées en parallèles et reliées électriquement d'un côté, à un premier jeu de barres a et du côté opposé, à un second jeu de barres b.On the Figures 1 and 2 , we see a multipole electrical equipment comprising for each pole two cells 1.2 mounted in parallel and electrically connected on one side, to a first set of bars a and the opposite side, to a second set of bars b.

La première cellule 1, située à droite de la figure, comporte dans cette réalisation particulière, un disjoncteur à vide 3 comportant une ampoule à vide 4 en série avec un sectionneur 5 à deux positions respectivement une position fermée et une position de mise à la terre.The first cell 1, located on the right of the figure, comprises in this particular embodiment, a vacuum circuit breaker 3 comprising a vacuum interrupter 4 in series. with a two-position switch 5 respectively a closed position and a grounding position.

La seconde cellule 2 située à gauche de la première, comporte un sectionneur à deux positions respectivement une position fermée de passage du courant et une position de sectionnement.The second cell 2 located to the left of the first, comprises a switch with two positions respectively a closed position of passage of the current and a sectioning position.

Ces deux cellules sont reliées mécaniquement de manière à obéir à un séquence ment particulier qui sera décrit dans ce qui suit.These two cells are mechanically connected so as to obey a particular sequence which will be described in what follows.

Sur la figure 1, l'appareillage est en position fermée, les deux circuits étant fermés car le disjoncteur et le sectionneur sont fermés, le courant nominal étant réparti dans les deux cellules.On the figure 1 , the equipment is in the closed position, the two circuits being closed because the circuit breaker and the disconnector are closed, the rated current being distributed in the two cells.

Pour passer en position ouverte, il est nécessaire d'ouvrir en premier le sectionneur 5 de la seconde cellule, afin que le courant soit dérivé totalement dans le disjoncteur 3 de la première cellule.To switch to the open position, it is necessary to first open the disconnector 5 of the second cell, so that the current is completely derived in the circuit breaker 3 of the first cell.

Lors de cette ouverture, il est impératif d'atteindre une distance d'isolement suffisante des contacts 6,7 du sectionneur 5 afin que lorsque les contacts de coupure 8,9 commencent à se séparer coupant ainsi le courant, il n'y ait pas de re-claquage diélectrique au niveau du sectionneur lors de l'apparition de la tension transitoire de rétablissement.During this opening, it is imperative to reach a sufficient isolation distance of the contacts 6,7 of the disconnector 5 so that when the breaking contacts 8,9 begin to separate thereby cutting the current, there is no dielectric re-breakdown at the disconnector when the transient voltage recovery occurs.

Inversement, lors du passage en position fermée de l'appareillage, il est nécessaire de fermer en premier l'ampoule 4 afin d'établir le courant au travers de cet organe, et ensuite de fermer le sectionneur 5 pour que le courant se répartisse dans les deux cellules électriques 1,2.Conversely, when switching to the closed position of the apparatus, it is necessary to first close the bulb 4 in order to establish the current through this member, and then to close the disconnector 5 so that the current is distributed in the two electric cells 1,2.

L'appareillage selon l'invention est commandé par un dispositif de commande permettant d'entraîner par une seule action de l'opérateur, les contacts 8,9 de l'ampoule 4 et 6,7 du sectionneur 5 de façon à garantir les étapes de fonctionnement précédemment mentionnées.The apparatus according to the invention is controlled by a control device allowing to drive by a single action of the operator, the contacts 8,9 of the bulb 4 and 6,7 of the disconnector 5 so as to guarantee the steps previously mentioned.

Sur les figures 3 à 7, ont été représentés du côté gauche des figures, le sectionneur 5 comportant un couteau 10 constituant un contact mobile et un plot fixe 11 représentant un contact fixe.On the Figures 3 to 7 , have been shown on the left side of the figures, the disconnector 5 comprising a knife 10 constituting a movable contact and a fixed stud 11 representing a fixed contact.

Ce couteau 10 est supporté par une manivelle 12 dite première montée libre en rotation autour d'un axe (X) dit premier fixe appartenant au châssis de l'appareil. Sur le côté droit des figures, a été représentée l'ampoule 4 du disjoncteur, ladite ampoule comportant de manière connue en soi une enveloppe de forme sensiblement cylindrique renfermant un contact fixe 8 par rapport à ladite enveloppe et un contact mobile 9 supporté par une tige mobile 13 selon l'axe de l'ampoule, ladite tige 13 comportant à l'une de ses extrémités, une pastille de contact 14 et étant reliée mécaniquement par son extrémité opposée, à une manivelle 15 dite seconde solidaire d'un arbre A dit arbre des pôles ou arbre de commande des ampoules, ledit arbre supportant un certain nombre de manivelles, ce nombre correspondant au nombre de pôles de l'appareillage.This knife 10 is supported by a crank 12 said first free fit in rotation about an axis (X) said first fixed belonging to the frame of the apparatus. On the right side of the figures, the bulb 4 of the circuit breaker has been represented, said bulb comprising, in a manner known per se, an envelope of substantially cylindrical shape enclosing a fixed contact 8 with respect to said envelope and a movable contact 9 supported by a rod. mobile 13 along the axis of the bulb, said rod 13 having at one of its ends, a contact pad 14 and being mechanically connected by its opposite end to a crank 15 said second integral with a shaft A said pole shaft or control shaft of the bulbs, said shaft supporting a number of cranks, this number corresponding to the number of poles of the apparatus.

Cet arbre A des pôles est monté libre en rotation autour d'un axe Y fixe par rapport au châssis de l'appareillage.This shaft has poles is rotatably mounted about a Y axis fixed relative to the frame of the apparatus.

Chacune de ces manivelles dites secondes 15 comporte une extrémité 15a solidaire en rotation de l'arbre des pôles, et une extrémité 15b opposée, reliée mécaniquement à la tige de commande du contact mobile de l'appareil. A cet effet, un barreau 16 formant une rotule partielle est montée articulée dans une ouverture prévue à cette extrémité de la manivelle 15, ce barreau comportant deux méplats opposés 16a,16b et étant traversé par un fourreau 17 monté coulissant à l'intérieur de ce barreau et comportant un orifice tubulaire 18 taraudé à l'intérieur duquel est montée et vissée la tige de commande 13 du contact mobile 9 de l'ampoule 4. On voit également que ce fourreau 17 comporte à ses deux extrémités opposées, deux parties de diamètre élargi 19,20 et formant respectivement deux surfaces d'appui 21,22.Each of these so-called seconds handwheels 15 has an end 15a integral in rotation with the pole shaft, and an opposite end 15b, mechanically connected to the control rod of the movable contact of the apparatus. For this purpose, a bar 16 forming a partial ball joint is mounted articulated in an opening provided at this end of the crank 15, this bar having two opposite flats 16a, 16b and being traversed by a sleeve 17 slidably mounted within this rod and having a threaded tubular orifice 18 inside which is mounted and screwed the control rod 13 of the movable contact 9 of the bulb 4. It is also seen that this sleeve 17 has at its two opposite ends, two diameter parts. 19,20 and respectively forming two bearing surfaces 21,22.

Autour de ce fourreau 17 sont également montées une assiette dite première 23 comportant une face 23a en appui sur l'une 21 dite première des surfaces d'appui précitées 21,22 du fourreau 17, et dont l'autre face 23b sert de surface d'appui à l'une 24a des extrémités d'un ressort de pression de contact 24, lequel est en appui par son extrémité opposée 24b, sur une assiette dite seconde 25 montée autour du fourreau 17 et prenant appui sur l'un 16a des méplats de la rotule précitée, tandis que l'autre méplat 16b de la rotule est destiné à venir en appui sur la surface d'appui dite seconde 22 du fourreau.Around this sleeve 17 are also mounted a so-called first plate 23 having a face 23a bearing on one of said 21 said abovementioned abutment surfaces 21,22 of the sleeve 17, and whose other face 23b serves as surface d pressing one end 24a of a contact pressure spring 24, which is supported by its opposite end 24b, on a so-called second plate 25 mounted around the sleeve 17 and bearing on one 16a of the flats of the aforementioned ball, while the other flat portion 16b of the ball joint is intended to bear against the so-called second bearing surface 22 of the sleeve.

La manivelle dite première 12 et la manivelle dite seconde 15 sont reliées mécaniquement par un ensemble mécanique comportant une bielle dite première 25 reliée de manière articulée par l'une de ses extrémités, à la manivelle dite première 12 et à son extrémité opposée, à l'une des extrémités d'une manivelle dite troisième 26 solidaire d'un arbre monté rotatif autour d'un axe dit troisième Z fixe par rapport au châssis de l'appareil. Cette manivelle dite troisième 26 est également reliée de manière articulée par une autre extrémité, à l'une des extrémités d'une bielle dite seconde 27, laquelle est reliée de manière articulée par une autre de ses extrémités à la manivelle dite seconde 15 solidaire de l'arbre des pôles A.The so-called first crank 12 and the so-called second crank 15 are mechanically connected by a mechanical assembly comprising a so-called first link 25 connected in an articulated manner by one of its ends, to the so-called first crank 12 and at its opposite end, at one end of a so-called third crank 26 integral with a shaft rotatably mounted about an axis said third Z fixed with respect to the frame of the apparatus. This so-called third crank 26 is also connected in an articulated manner by another end, at one of the ends of a so-called second rod 27, which is connected in an articulated manner by another of its ends to the so-called second crank 15 secured to the pole tree A.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de commande de l'appareillage électrique décrit précédemment, et correspondant à une réalisation particulière de l'invention va être décrit dans ce qui suit en référence aux figures.The operation of the control device of the electrical equipment described above, and corresponding to a particular embodiment of the invention will be described in the following with reference to the figures.

Sur les figures 3 et 4, le dispositif de commande est en position fermée, le couteau 10 du sectionneur 5 étant fermé sur le plot fixe 11 et les contacts fixe 8 et mobile 9 de l'ampoule 4 étant fermés. Dans cette position, l'arbre de commande A du disjoncteur 3 est verrouillé par un système d'accrochage l'empêchant d'être entraîné en rotation sous l'effet des ressorts d'ouverture non représentés et montés autour des ressorts de pression de contact 24, ces ressorts étant également en appui sur l'assiette inférieure précitée 25. Dans cette position, les ressorts de pression de contact 24, ainsi que les ressorts d'ouverture du mécanisme du disjoncteur 3, sont comprimés et les manivelles dites secondes 15 sont en position haute.On the figures 3 and 4 , the control device is in the closed position, the knife 10 of the disconnector 5 being closed on the fixed pad 11 and the fixed 8 and movable contacts 9 of the bulb 4 are closed. In this position, the control shaft A of the circuit breaker 3 is locked by an attachment system preventing it from being rotated under the effect of the opening springs not shown and mounted around the contact pressure springs. 24, these springs also bearing on the above-mentioned lower plate 25. In this position, the contact pressure springs 24, as well as the opening springs of the circuit breaker mechanism 3, are compressed and the so-called second cranks 15 are in high position.

Lors d'une manoeuvre d'ouverture, le dispositif de verrouillage de l'arbre A de commande du disjoncteur 3 est désactivé, ce qui conduit au fait que les ressorts de pression de contacts 24 peuvent dans un premier temps se décomprimer et entraîner en même temps les manivelles dites secondes 15 sur lesquelles ils sont en appui, en rotation dans le sens horaire, par l'intermédiaire de l'assiette dite inférieure 25 en appui sur la rotule 16, laquelle est solidaire de la manivelle dite seconde 15. Ceci entraîne, par l'intermédiaire de la bielle dite seconde 27, la rotation de la manivelle dite troisième 26 solidaire de l'arbre de commande dans le sens horaire, et par là-même, la rotation de la bielle dite première 25 et aussi de la manivelle dite première 12 supportant le couteau 10, laquelle tourne dans le sens horaire entraînant de ce fait l'ouverture partielle du contact mobile 10 du sectionneur 5. Dans cette position partiellement ouverte du sectionneur 5 illustrée sur les figures 5 et 6, la distance de séparation des contacts du sectionneur, est suffisante pour tenir la TTR (tension transitoire de rétablissement) qui est la tension qui va s'établir aux bornes des contacts du sectionneur et de l'ampoule lors d'une nouvelle fermeture de l'appareillage. Pendant ce mouvement en rotation des manivelles dites secondes 15, ces manivelles n'ont pas entraîné la tige d'entraînement 13 du contact mobile 8 de l'ampoule, car pendant ce mouvement, le ressort 24 a entraîné l'assiette 25 en translation le long du fourreau 17, laquelle assiette 25 a transmis ce mouvement au barreau 16, mais cet ensemble s'est déplacé sans atteindre l'épaulement, situé à la partie inférieure du fourreau et formé par la surface d'appui dite seconde 22 du fourreau 16.During an opening maneuver, the locking device of the control shaft A of the circuit breaker 3 is deactivated, which leads to the fact that the contact pressure springs 24 can initially decompress and lead at the same time time the cranks said seconds 15 on which they are supported, in rotation in the clockwise direction, through the said lower plate 25 bearing on the ball 16, which is integral with the crank said second 15. This involves , by means of the so-called second rod 27, the rotation of the so-called third crank 26 integral with the control shaft in the clockwise direction, and thereby the rotation of the so-called first rod 25 and also of the said first crank 12 supporting the knife 10, which rotates in the clockwise direction thereby causing partial opening of the movable contact 10 of the 5. In this partially open position of the disconnector 5 illustrated on the figures 5 and 6 , the separation distance of the switch contacts, is sufficient to hold the TTR (transient recovery voltage) which is the voltage that will be established across the contacts of the disconnector and the bulb when a new closing of the 'equipment. During this movement in rotation of the cranks said seconds 15, these cranks did not drive the drive rod 13 of the movable contact 8 of the bulb, because during this movement, the spring 24 has driven the plate 25 in translation the along the sleeve 17, which plate 25 has transmitted this movement to the bar 16, but this set has moved without reaching the shoulder, located at the bottom of the sleeve and formed by the so-called second bearing surface 22 of the sleeve 16 .

A cette étape de fonctionnement du mécanisme, les ressorts d'ouverture du mécanisme, lesquels sont également en appui sur l'assiette dite inférieure 25, vont prendre le relais et entraîner l'arbre des pôles A, et les manivelles 15 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre, ce qui entraîne le déplacement de la tige 13 et donc l'ouverture des contacts 8,9 de l'ampoule 4, position illustrée sur la figure 7. Ce mouvement des manivelles va être transmis au couteau du sectionneur par l'intermédiaire de la cinématique décrite précédemment.At this stage of operation of the mechanism, the opening springs of the mechanism, which are also resting on the so-called bottom plate 25, will take over and drive the shaft of the poles A, and the cranks 15 in the direction of the clockwise, which causes the displacement of the rod 13 and thus the opening of the contacts 8, 9 of the bulb 4, as illustrated in FIG. figure 7 . This movement of the cranks will be transmitted to the knife of the disconnector via the kinematics described above.

Lors d'une manoeuvre inverse de fermeture de l'appareillage, les ressorts de fermeture du mécanisme entraînent l'arbre des pôles A et les manivelles dites secondes 15 dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre, ce qui entraîne la compression des ressorts de pression de contact 24 par l'intermédiaire de la seconde surface d'appui 22 du fourreau 17, du barreau 16 et de l'assiette inférieure 25. L'effort de fermeture est ensuite transmis par ces ressorts 24 à la tige 13 d'entraînement du contact mobile 9 de l'ampoule 4 par l'intermédiaire de l'assiette dite supérieure 23 et de l'autre surface d'appui 21 du fourreau 17. Ce déplacement en rotation de ces manivelles 15 entraîne d'autre part, la rotation dans le sens antihoraire de la manivelle dite troisième 26 par l'intermédiaire de la bielle dite seconde 27, et la rotation dans le sens antihoraire de la manivelle dite première 12 par l'intermédiaire de la bielle dite première, ce qui entraîne la fermeture des contacts 8 ,9 du sectionneur 5, position illustrée sur les figures 3 et 4.During a reverse closing operation of the apparatus, the closing springs of the mechanism drive the pole shaft A and the so-called second cranks 15 counterclockwise, which causes compression of the springs. contact pressure 24 via the second bearing surface 22 of the sleeve 17, the bar 16 and the lower plate 25. The closing force is then transmitted by these springs 24 to the rod 13 of driving the movable contact 9 of the bulb 4 through the so-called upper plate 23 and the other bearing surface 21 of the sleeve 17. This rotational movement of these cranks 15 causes the other, the counterclockwise rotation of the so-called third crank 26 via the so-called second rod 27, and the rotation in the counterclockwise direction of the so-called first crank 12 by means of the so-called first connecting rod, which results in the closing the contacts 8, 9 of the disconnector 5, illustrated position on the figures 3 and 4 .

Ainsi, les longueurs des bielles et des manivelles sont choisies de telle manière que lors de cette phase de compression des ressorts de pression de contact 24, la rotation de l'arbre de commande A permet de réaliser une rotation suffisante du contact mobile du sectionneur 5 afin d'atteindre la distance qu'il a été nécessaire d'atteindre lors de l'ouverture pour la tenue de la tension transitoire de rétablissement.Thus, the lengths of the connecting rods and cranks are chosen such that during this compression phase of the contact pressure springs 24, the rotation of the control shaft A makes it possible to achieve sufficient rotation of the movable contact of the disconnector 5. to reach the distance that it was necessary to reach during the opening to maintain the transient recovery voltage.

Il apparaît, sur la figure 3 en particulier, que la cinématique d'entraînement des contacts de coupure 8,9 a été réalisée de façon à augmenter le rapport de démultiplication lors de la fin de la course de fermeture. Ceci a été réalisé en créant un rapprochement vers une ligne de passage de point mort L entre la bielle dite seconde 27 et la manivelle dite troisième 26, en fin de fermeture.It appears, on the figure 3 in particular, that the driving kinematics of the cut-off contacts 8, 9 has been made so as to increase the gear ratio at the end of the closing stroke. This has been achieved by creating a rapprochement to a dead center line L between the so-called second rod 27 and the third crank 26, at the end of closing.

La cinématique d'entraînement du sectionneur 5 a été réalisée en amplifiant cette grande course angulaire de l'arbre des pôles pour permettre une rotation du sectionneur permettant la tenue de la TTR.The drive kinematics of the disconnector 5 were made by amplifying this large angular travel of the pole shaft to allow rotation of the disconnector allowing the holding of the TTR.

En fin de manoeuvre d'ouverture du sectionneur 5, cette cinématique est réalisée de telle manière que l'on s'approche également d'une ligne de passage de point mort M entre la manivelle dite troisième 26 et la bielle dite première 25 en fin de manoeuvre d'ouverture, de façon à permettre à la commande d'ouvrir les contacts de coupure en minimisant la rotation du sectionneur. De plus cette ligne de passage de point mort permet d'arrêter en douceur le sectionneur 5 et d'éviter ainsi qu'il oscille violement en fin d'ouverture, ce qui pourrait causer des mouvements de rotation parasites de la commande en fin d'ouverture.At the end of the opening maneuver of the disconnector 5, this kinematics is performed in such a way that one also approaches a dead center passage line M between the so-called third crank 26 and the so-called first rod 25 at the end. opening operation, so as to allow the control to open the cutoff contacts by minimizing the rotation of the disconnector. In addition, this neutral passage line allows the switch 5 to be gently stopped and thus to avoid oscillating violently at the end of opening, which could cause parasitic rotation movements of the control at the end of opening.

Ainsi, le dispositif de commande de l'appareillage selon l'invention, a été conçu de manière à réaliser deux cinématiques différentes pour chaque organe électrique, chaque organe étant relié mécaniquement à l'arbre de sortie du dispositif de commande du disjoncteur, les rapports de démultiplication étant différents entre les deux cinématiques, ces rapports étant déterminés par les rapports de longueur entre les différentes bielles et manivelles.Thus, the control device of the apparatus according to the invention has been designed so as to produce two different kinematics for each electrical member, each member being mechanically connected to the output shaft of the circuit breaker control device. gear ratios being different between the two kinematics, these ratios being determined by the ratios of length between the different connecting rods and cranks.

La présente invention a donc permis de réaliser un dispositif mécanique permettant de manoeuvrer en une même manoeuvre un organe de coupure et un organe de sectionnement disposés en parallèle et dont l'organe de sectionnement doit s'ouvrir en premier afin de dériver tout le courant dans l'organe de coupure, et dont l'organe de sectionnement doit se fermer en dernier, car cela évite d'avoir un pouvoir de fermeture, afin de dériver une partie du courant de l'organe de coupure, ceci après la fermeture du circuit par l'organe de sectionnement.The present invention has thus made it possible to produce a mechanical device making it possible to maneuver in the same maneuver a cut-off member and a disconnecting member arranged in parallel and whose disconnecting member must open first in order to derive all the current in the cut-off member, and whose sectioning member must close last, as this avoids to have a power of closure, in order to derive a part of the current of the cut-off device, this after closure of the circuit by the sectioning member.

Ce dispositif permet de garantir une distance d'isolement suffisante du sectionneur pour la tenue de la TTR avant que les contacts de coupure ne commencent à se séparer, ceci en utilisant les phases de compression/décompression des ressorts de pression de contact pour actionner le sectionneur.This device ensures a sufficient isolation distance of the disconnector for the holding of the TTR before the cut-off contacts start to separate, this using the compression / decompression phases of the contact pressure springs to actuate the disconnector .

Ce dispositif permet de manoeuvrer deux organes électriques avec un décalage de l'ouverture et de la fermeture de l'un par rapport à l'autre, avec une cinématique sans rupture de mouvement constituée de liaisons pivot (pas de lumière pour des courses à vide) et donc ne générant pas de chocs.This device makes it possible to maneuver two electric organs with a shift of the opening and the closing of one with respect to the other, with a kinematics without rupture of movement constituted by pivot connections (no light for empty strokes ) and therefore not generating shocks.

Ce dispositif permet de manoeuvrer deux organes électriques dont le décalage de l'un par rapport à l'autre est garanti par une chaîne cinématique rigide et fiable.This device makes it possible to maneuver two electric members whose offset from one with respect to the other is guaranteed by a rigid and reliable kinematic chain.

Ce dispositif permet également de garantir la concordance d'état de deux organes électriques différents (l'un ne peut pas être ouvert si l'autre ne l'est pas).This device also makes it possible to guarantee the state concordance of two different electrical organs (one can not be opened if the other is not).

Ceci garantit une image fiable de la position des deux organes électriques par rapport à celui de la commande.This ensures a reliable image of the position of the two electrical components relative to that of the control.

Naturellement, diverses modifications sont possibles. Le nombre de modules n'est pas limité à trois. L'invention s'applique également à des ampoules dipolaires, quadripolaires voir hexa polaire ou octo polaire, le mécanisme d'entraînement peut être de tout type c'est à dire à ressorts de fermeture et d'ouverture distincts, à un seul ressort, à un seul ressort permettant la fermeture et l'ouverture.Naturally, various modifications are possible. The number of modules is not limited to three. The invention also applies to dipole, quadrupole or even hexa polar or octagonal polar bulbs, the drive mechanism can be of any type, ie with separate closing and opening springs, with a single spring, single spring for closing and opening.
