Definitions

  • the invention relates to a polarity-independent switching device for guiding and separating high DC currents.
  • the switching device comprises a gas-tight, electrically insulating housing, which can be filled with an insulating gas, at least one pair of contacts, which is arranged in the housing and having a fixed contact and a movable contact, wherein the two contacts in an on state of the switching device in Contact to each other and in an off state of the switching device are separated, an arc runner assembly which generates a magnetic field at least in the region of the contact pair, and a first arc guiding arrangement, by means of which an arc occurring between the contacts with a first current direction in the direction of a remote from the contacts arranged Deletion area is passed.
  • Such a switching device is for example from the US Pat. No. 5,680,084 known.
  • the housing described therein is filled with a gas mixture comprising hydrogen.
  • the switching chamber walls and the extinguishing chambers are also subjected to thermal stress, which results in a limitation of the electrical life of the switching device.
  • the load of the switching device during the switching process is particularly high in the case of high arc performance, especially in the absence or low mobility of the arc, resulting in a relatively high contact erosion and material changes of the switching chamber walls by locally high thermal loads result.
  • a high thermal load of the switching chambers occurs in particular at high direct currents, which in contrast to comparable alternating currents have no sinusoidal current profile with natural zero crossing and thus have after separation of the switching contacts a consistently high arc performance.
  • it is therefore essential to minimize the burning time of the switching arc by its rapid cooling and deionization of the switching path. In this case, a rapid increase in the burning voltage is achieved, which leads to the extinction of the arc when reaching the driving voltage.
  • a very efficient arc quenching can be achieved if, instead of normal air as a switching environment, hydrogen or a hydrogen-containing gas mixture in the form of a hermetically sealed housing of the switch is selected. It is known that hydrogen molecules cause a very efficient cooling and deionization of the switching path due to significantly higher particle velocity compared to air molecules. As a result, when switching in a hydrogen atmosphere on a free-burning arc, a multiple of the arc voltage achievable with the same switching arrangement in air can be achieved. In practice, this means that you can build a higher arc voltage over a targeted elongation of the switching arc, caused by a magnetic blower field, as by the division of the arc into several partial arcs in the form of a classic arc splitter.
  • Encapsulated hydrogen-filled switching devices can be found today in several products in the form of compact relays for currents up to several hundred amps realized. Above all, these products are designed to permanently carry currents of this magnitude in the form of very compact arrangements and typically to switch them several thousand times. With these compact switching chambers, however, the achievable switching numbers are limited at high switching capacities by a gradually decreasing insulation capacity of such arrangements.
  • document DE 691 11 334 T2 shows a hermetically sealed, bidirectional DC switching device with fork-shaped arcs, which extend in separate arc extinguishing chambers.
  • the switch comprises two switching chambers.
  • the switching chambers have a double breaker with two separate immovable contacts each having a first contact region and a movable electrically conductive contact piece with two second contact regions.
  • An arc is driven in the direction of one of the extinguishing devices, depending on the field direction of a magnetic field and the current direction in the arc.
  • the switching chambers arc arc bleaching, which extend in two opposite directions in each case from the first contact region and the corresponding second contact region to two arranged at the end of the arc guide plates extinguishing chambers.
  • the switching device which is suitable for DC operation, comprises a gas-tightly encapsulated, electrically insulating housing which can be filled with an insulating gas.
  • the housing is at least one pair of contacts with a fixed contact and a arranged movable contact, wherein the two contacts are separated in an on state of the switching device in contact with each other and in an off state of the switching device.
  • two such pairs of contacts are provided per pole to realize a double interruption.
  • an arc runner arrangement At least in the region of the contact pair or contact pairs, an arc runner arrangement generates a magnetic field, in particular a substantially homogeneous magnetic field, which is also called a blow field and is suitable for driving one or more arcs.
  • a first arc guide arrangement for conducting an arc occurring between the contacts with a first current direction in the direction of an extinguishing region of the housing arranged remotely from the contacts.
  • the extinguishing area is initially to be understood as an area within the housing which is sufficiently far away from the contacts in order to prevent damage to the latter due to the influence of the arcs.
  • suitable additional measures for extinguishing the arc can be provided, which are described as preferred embodiments.
  • a second arc guide arrangement is provided such that an arc occurring between the contacts is also conducted in the direction of the extinguishing area with a second current direction opposite to the first current direction.
  • the advantage here is that the two Lichtbogenleitanssenen are designed such that the arc is directed independently of its current direction in the same direction, without the need for special insulating partitions would be required. Irrespective of the polarity of the arc, it can thus advantageously be rapidly driven into a region of the housing remote from the contacts, so that the contacts are subjected to less thermal stress. Since each arc is driven in the same direction regardless of the polarity, a correspondingly compact housing with advantageously low space requirements can be used.
  • a permanent magnetic field is generated by means of permanent magnets in order to provide a magnetic field in a simple manner and current-independent.
  • the first arc guide arrangement is designed such that an arc with a first current direction is deflected in a first direction of rotation and directed in the direction of the extinguishing area.
  • the second arc guide arrangement is arranged such that an arc is deflected with a second current direction in a direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation and directed in the direction of the extinguishing area. This means that the arc is deflected independently of its current direction and is driven in the direction of the extinguishing area.
  • the paths which the arc must cover until it reaches the extinguishing area are preferably the same size in order to ensure the same switching behavior of the switching device in both current directions.
  • the fixed contact or the fixed contacts is / are connected to a housing bottom.

  • the electrodes are guided through the housing bottom to the contacts.
  • a switching piece is guided through a flexible gas seal through the housing bottom, wherein the movable contact is arranged on the switching piece and movable from outside the housing.

  • the flexible gas seal is particularly preferably designed as a bellows, in particular of a stainless steel material.
  • the first arc guide arrangement has a first section for deflecting the arc by approximately 90 ° and a second section for guiding the arc substantially rectilinearly.
  • each arc is extended along the arc guide assembly by increasing the distance of the base points.
  • the second portion of the first arc guide assembly is designed such that the arc becomes longer toward the extinguishing region, whereby the alignment of the arc is maintained parallel to the housing bottom.
  • the first arc guide assembly comprises an outer baffle and an inner baffle, wherein the outer baffle extends from the fixed contact and the inner baffle extending from the movable contact.
  • the outer baffle preferably extends substantially parallel to the side walls of the housing.
  • the inner baffle extends in the second section particularly preferably such that the distance to the outer baffle increases in the direction of the extinguishing area.
  • the second arc guide is designed mirror-symmetrically to the first arc guide.
  • the outer baffles of the first and second arc guide together with a contact carrier form a U-shape, wherein the contact carrier forms a web of the U-shape and wherein the fixed contact inside, based on the U-shape , is located in the area of the bridge.
  • the web of the U-shape in particular has a thickening directed towards the interior of the U-shape, on which the fixed contact is arranged.
  • the inner baffles of the first and second arc guide assembly together form a shape that corresponds to the contour of an onion shape.
  • a stepless transition from the respective contact to the baffle is provided.
  • the edge regions of the contacts in particular have a chamfer. This allows a faster, harmonious transition of the arc root from the contact surfaces to the rails, as a result, advantageously a material erosion is minimized by the arcs.
  • a quenching device with a plurality of electrically insulating, mutually parallel extinguishing plates in the region of the extinguishing area is provided per arc guide.
