Definitions

  • the invention relates to a tap changer with vacuum interrupters for uninterrupted switching between winding taps of a tapped transformer.
  • the invention further relates to a particularly suitable for such a tap changer novel vacuum interrupter.
  • a tap changer which has a total of four vacuum interrupters per phase.
  • a vacuum interrupter as the main contact and in each case a further vacuum interrupter, are provided in series connection with a transfer resistor, as a resistance contact.
  • the main contact of the disconnecting side is first opened, then closes the resistor contact the receiving side, so that between the two stages n and n + 1 through the switching resistors limited compensating current flows.
  • the known tap changers require four separate vacuum interrupters per phase.
  • the disadvantage is first of all the high space requirement for these vacuum interrupters themselves and the associated actuating mechanism.
  • due to the high component cost, such known constructions are relatively expensive.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a tap changer, which is constructed simpler with the same functionality, in which the switching elements require less space, continue to be cheaper. It is another object of the invention to provide a vacuum interrupter, which is particularly advantageous for such a further developed tap changer usable.
  • the tap changer according to the invention is based on the general idea of uniting the two vacuum interrupters in each load branch to form a single vacuum interrupter.
  • the vacuum interrupter according to the invention is also based on the general idea to combine the functionality of two identical tubes in a tap changer by combining a design of a tube with two movable contact systems.
  • the novel vacuum interrupter tube is simple; In particular, it has no internal contact pressure springs or sliding contacts.
  • Vacuum interrupters with two contact points are already known per se.
  • the DE 3344367 relates to a vacuum interrupter with two pairs of electrically connected in a single vacuum chamber, which are simultaneously actuated.
  • the DE 197 56 308 C1 relates to a similar vacuum interrupter with two arranged on a common axis switching sections, wherein internal contact pressure springs are provided.
  • the EP 0 258 614 B1 describes the combination of a vacuum interrupter and a specific wiring on a tap-changer. Here, several switching paths are arranged in a vacuum space, which causes a complicated structure of the vacuum interrupter with annular fixed contacts.
  • the DE 10 2006 033 422 B3 describes another vacuum interrupter with multiple functionality, in which case both annular fixed contacts and internal contact pressure springs are required. None of these known solutions is suitable for a tap changer according to the invention.
  • the geometric dimensions of the two separate contact systems are adapted to the electrical conditions of the circuit breaker underlying circuit, in particular, whether the separate contact system is used as the main or auxiliary contact.
  • the diameter of the housing or the stroke of the plunger of the respective separate contact system is varied geometrically targeted.
  • the two separate contact systems of a common vacuum interrupter are not made identical, but adapted to the electrical conditions of the tap changer by a different geometric dimensioning.
  • the general inventive idea of the present vacuum interrupter is, as explained, to combine the functionality of two identical tubes in a tap changer by the combination of a design of a tube with two movable contact systems.
  • FIG. 1 a known tap changer is shown. It has a first load branch, in which there are acting as a main contact vacuum interrupter MSV a and in parallel therewith a reverse resistor R a and acting as a resistance contact vacuum interrupter TTV a .
  • the second load branch quite analogously has a vacuum interrupter MSV b and, in parallel with this, another overvoltage resistor R b and a vacuum interrupter TTV b .
  • the known tap changer thus has two vacuum switching cells per load branch, thus four vacuum switching cells per phase in total.
  • FIG. 3 shows a first embodiment of a tap changer according to the invention.
  • a tap changer according to the invention.
  • the previously separate, parallel vacuum switching cells of a load branch to a first vacuum interrupter Va and the previously separate, parallel vacuum switching cells of the other load branch are combined to form a second vacuum interrupter Vb.
  • the vacuum interrupters combined according to the invention will be explained in more detail below. It should be noted here that this inventive summary of the functionality of previously separate vacuum interrupters is not bound to a specific circuit; it is always possible if two or more vacuum interrupters are provided in a load branch.
  • FIG. 4 shows therefore a second embodiment of a tap changer according to the invention with a further developed circuit.
  • a first mechanical switch MDC a is additionally provided between the electrical connection of the first vacuum interrupter Va according to the invention (as a substitute for the separate tubes MSV a and TTV a according to the prior art) and the load derivation LA.
  • a further mechanical switching element MDC b is provided between the electrical connection of the second vacuum interrupter Vb according to the invention (as a replacement for the separate tubes TTV b and MSV b according to the prior art) of the other load branch and the load derivation.
  • Both mechanical switching elements MDC a , MDC b are exemplified here as a circuit breaker; they do not serve for commutation, but for enabling, ie the galvanic separation of the not leading to the load current load branch.
  • FIG. 5 shows a summarized in accordance with the invention vacuum interrupter. It has two separate contact systems I and II, which are arranged on both sides of a symmetry axis s2 in the transverse direction of the vacuum interrupter. In this case, a common, the entire vacuum interrupter enclosing housing 1 is provided. Centrally in the rotationally symmetrical longitudinal axis s1 an upper plunger 2 and at the opposite end a lower plunger 3 are provided which carry in the interior of the housing 1 in known manner movable contact pieces 4, 5. Both contact pieces 4, 5 can be separately and independently brought by operation of the plunger 2 or 3 with a common fixed contact 6 in conjunction.
  • the known contact springs, which interact with the plungers are not shown here for reasons of clarity. Shown are, however, upper bellows 7 and lower bellows 8, which may be the same or different. Shown here are still upper and lower ceramic 9, 10 and in the interior upper and lower vapor shield 11, 12th
  • FIG. 6 shows a preferred embodiment of a vacuum interrupter according to the invention, in which the contact systems I and II are adapted by their different geometric dimensions of the tap changer specific electrical conditions. It will be in the presentation of the FIG. 6 the same reference numerals for identical components as in FIG. 5 used. Since their functionalities already in the description too FIG. 5 will be explained in more detail in the comments FIG. 6 only discussed the differences between the two embodiments.
  • the contact systems I and II and the components located in the corresponding contact system I or II dimensioned differently large and thereby the housing 1 adapted to this geometric dimensioning by the vacuum interrupter has a first, larger housing part 13 and a second, smaller, housing part 14.
  • the number of vacuum stop tubes required is de facto halved; correspondingly lower is the space required for these switching elements.
  • the costs are also falling.
  • the vacuum interrupter used in the invention which is designed as a "tandem tube" and contains two separate contact systems.
  • the vacuum interrupter according to the invention is simple; In contrast to the solutions known from the prior art, it requires neither internal contact pressure springs nor complicated operating mechanisms or special filigree contact formations, for example in ring form.
