Definitions

  • the invention relates to a surge arrester according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • Surge arresters are protective systems, for example, for switchgear, which in the event of overvoltages caused by lightning strikes or malfunctions of other subsystems dissipate these overvoltages to ground and thus protect other components of the switchgear.
  • Such a surge arrester comprises one or more cylindrical diverting elements, which have a varistor column made up of individual, likewise cylindrical varistor elements.
  • Varistor elements are characterized by a voltage-dependent resistance. At low voltages these act as insulators. From a certain threshold voltage, which is material-dependent, they show a good conductivity.
  • varistor elements are made of metal oxides such as zinc oxide.
  • the diverter is limited at both ends by end fittings that make electrical contact with the switchgear and ground. To ensure a good electrical contact even under mechanical stress, the varistor column must be held together under pressure. This can be done by tension members, for example, ropes or rods are preferably clamped in glass fiber reinforced plastic in the end fittings under train. The tension elements surround the varistor column and thus form a cage around them.
  • surge arresters For use in gas-insulated switchgear surge arresters have a fluid-tight housing, which surrounds the discharge element.
  • the housing is to increase the dielectric strength with a fluid, usually sulfur hexafluoride, filled.
  • the housing is usually made of metal and is electrically grounded.
  • An end fitting of the delivery column is grounded via a contact made through the housing.
  • the other end fitting is electrically connected via a passage with a contact located on the outside of the housing, which serves to connect to the switchgear.
  • larger surge arresters often have at their high voltage end of a control hood, which is slipped over the end of the Ableit yarn as unilaterally closed cylinder.
  • the individual varistor elements have a high capacitance with respect to ground potential, but their series connection leads to a very small longitudinal capacitance, which leads to an inhomogeneous voltage distribution as of a certain length of the varistor column.
  • the varistor elements are therefore subject to higher voltages, which together with their resistive effect can lead to undesired heating.
  • the control hood now serves to homogenize the stress distribution along the length of the varistor column.
  • the surge arrester must be disconnected from the switchgear because of the high voltages which then occur. Otherwise, the surge arrester would divert the voltage to ground and the measurement result would be corrupted.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a surge arrester of the type mentioned, a structurally easier manufacture or interrupting the electrical connection.
  • the invention provides a surge arrester, with a discharge element, a control hood electrically connected to the discharge element and a fluid-tight housing in which the discharge element and the control hood are arranged and which has two in each case the interior with the outside of the housing electrically connecting contacts.
  • the diverting element and the control hood are designed to be movable relative to one another, wherein an electrical connection of one of the contacts via the diverting element to the other of the contacts can be produced or interrupted by the relative movement. Due to the relative movement of the control hood and the diverter element, an electrical connection to the switchgear can be established or interrupted in a particularly simple manner. For example, control hood and diverting element can be moved together in approximately different directions. Alternatively, the control hood can sit firmly and only the diverting be moved. In any case, the moving mass is lower than in the prior art, so that the mechanical elements required for the movement can be made structurally simpler.
  • the discharge element is arranged along a longitudinal axis of the housing and the control hood in Slidably disposed in the direction of this longitudinal axis. This results in a particularly compact arrangement.
  • the displaceability of the control hood along the longitudinal axis allows the best possible use of space and compliance with the required isolation distances producing and closing an electrical connection to the switchgear.
  • control hood is displaceable by means of a displaceable from outside the fluid-tight housing displacement device.
  • the surge arrester according to the invention can be configured in that the displacement device has a shaft which can be actuated by rotational movement, a push rod connected to the control hood and a transmission which translates the rotational movement of the shaft into a translational movement of the push rod.
  • the displacement device has a shaft which can be actuated by rotational movement, a push rod connected to the control hood and a transmission which translates the rotational movement of the shaft into a translational movement of the push rod.
  • the push rod is at least partially made of electrically insulating material.
  • This can be for example a glass fiber reinforced plastic. This advantageously ensures the insulation resistance, since voltage flashovers between the push rod and the housing are avoided.
  • a further embodiment of the surge arrester according to the invention provides that the shaft fluid-tight from the Inner is guided to the outside of the housing. This advantageously prevents the escape of fluid from the housing. Harmful environmental influences by the fluid are thus avoided. In addition, the dielectric strength is retained and the surge arrester thus requires little maintenance.
  • an advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that one end of the discharge element with one of the contacts and the other end of the discharge element are electrically connected to the control hood and that by the displacement of the control hood the electrical connection to the other of the contacts can be produced or interrupted. This allows to make and break the connection only to move the control hood. This is relative to the diverter relatively easy. A movement of the control hood therefore requires less mechanical effort.
  • control hood and the other of the contacts engage in a form-fitting manner with the electrical connection produced in such a way that they are radially fixed with respect to the longitudinal axis.
  • This has the effect that the control hood and contact center against each other at the contact closure and can not tilt.
  • This can lead to the largest possible contact area between the control hood and contact. This ensures a secure connection of the control hood to the high voltage potential of the contact.
  • control hood is connected to the deflecting element for displaceability in the direction of the longitudinal axis via slide bearings.
  • the sliding bearings are mounted laterally on end electrodes and guide and fix the control hood in the radial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis.
  • the control hood is also fixed radially over the contact. If, in addition, the earth-side end of the diverting element is, for example radially fixed by a fixed connection of a ground-side end electrode with the housing cover, so discharge element and control cover are fixed to each other with respect to the housing and so insensitive to vibrations, for example, during transport or earthquake.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show a surge arrester 1 in a sectional view.
  • a discharge element 20 is arranged in a fluid-tight housing 2, a discharge element 20 is arranged.
  • This discharge element 20 has a cylindrical varistor column 25, an upper end fitting 22, a lower end fitting 21 and a plurality of tension elements 23.
  • the varistor column 25 is composed of individual, also cylindrical Varistorblöcken.
  • end fittings 21 and 22 At the two ends of the varistor column 25 sit end fittings 21 and 22, of which in the Fig. 1 and 2 only the lower end fitting 21 is visible.
  • the end fittings 21, 22 are usually made of electrically conductive material.
  • Tension elements 23 are pressed in the end fittings 21, 22 under train and so hold the varistor column 25 together.
  • retaining disks 24 are inserted, which have holes through which the tension elements 23 are guided and thus stabilize the discharge element 20 additionally.
  • the housing 2 is substantially cylindrical.
  • the longitudinal axis 50 extends along the cylinder axis.
  • the discharge element 20 is aligned along this longitudinal axis 50.
  • the housing 2 is closed fluid-tight.
  • the top surface of the housing 2 is closed with a simple housing cover 4.
  • a contact 8 is electrically isolated through this housing cover 4 from the inside to the outside of the housing 2 and serves the ground terminal.
  • this contact 8 is electrically conductively connected to the diverting element 20, for example with a cable 15.
  • the connection is made here via a conductive connection plate 13.
  • Between this and the lower end fitting 21 is still an insulating spacer 14.
  • the connection of the cable 15 could alternatively be made directly to the lower end fitting 21, the insulating spacer 14 then deleted.
  • the end fitting 21 of the discharge element 20 is fastened to the housing cover 4.
  • the housing cover 4 is electrically insulated against the varistor column 25. The insulation takes place here through the intermediate piece 14.
  • the housing cover 4 has a connection, not illustrated here, via which fluid, for example sulfur hexafluoride, can be introduced into the housing 2 or drained off.
  • the top surface of the housing 2 is provided with a high-voltage feedthrough 5 in order to lead the electrical high-voltage potential into the housing 2 from the outside without danger of a flashover between high voltage and earthed housing 2.
  • the implementation 5 comprises a retaining ring 12, an insulator 6 and a contact 7, which is designed here as a plug contact.
  • the surge arrester 1 can be connected to a gas-insulated switchgear, not shown here.
  • the contact 7 is provided with an electrically conductive fitting 9.
  • the implementation is provided with sealing rings (10).
  • a substantially cylindrical, closed at one end control hood 40 is slipped over the high voltage end of the discharge element 20.
  • the control hood 20 is connected to a displacement device 30 which has a push rod 33, a transmission 32, which can be embodied, for example, as a trapezoidal thread drive, a shaft 31 guided fluid-tightly through the housing cover 4, and a control element 34 connected to this shaft 31 outside the housing 2 having.
  • a display device 35 can be attached to the operating element 34, which indicates whether the electrical connection is established or interrupted.
  • the shaft 31 can be set in a rotating movement. Via the gear 32, this rotational movement is converted into a linear movement of the push rod 33 in the direction of the longitudinal axis 50.
  • the push rod 33 in turn transmits this linear movement to the control hood 40.
  • the control hood 40 can thus be moved in the direction of the longitudinal axis 50 toward the contact 7 and away therefrom, thus establishing or interrupting an electrical connection. In the illustration in Fig. 1 the electrical connection is interrupted.
  • Fig. 3 shows a section of the high-voltage side end of the surge arrester 1 in a Schittdargna.
  • the electrical connection is made here.
  • the control hood 40 abuts the fitting 9 of the contact 7.
  • Control hood 40 and fitting 9 are shaped so that a bulge of the fitting 9 engages in a corresponding indentation of the closed end of the control hood 40.
  • the control hood 40 is thus fixed in the radial direction with respect to the longitudinal axis 50.
  • the end fitting 22 has plain bearings 41, which fix the control hood 40 radially with respect to the longitudinal axis 50 and thus guide the control hood 40 upon a displacement in the direction of the longitudinal axis 50.
  • the plain bearings 41 may be electrically conductive and thus simultaneously serve the electrical connection of the control hood 40 with the end fitting 22, but they can also be made of a non-conductive material, such as a plastic.
  • the electrical connection of the end fitting 22 with the control hood 40 can then be done for example via a flexible conductor strip.
