Description

DOMAINE TECHNIQUETECHNICAL AREA

L'invention propose un appareillage électrique pour une ligne de transport de courant électrique à haute tension, tel qu'un sectionneur de mise à la terre, un sectionneur ou un disjoncteur, comportant des moyens pour retarder le moment d'apparition d'un arc électrique lors d'une phase de fermeture de l'appareillage électrique et pour limiter la durée d'un tel arc lors d'une phase de fermeture ou d'ouverture de l'appareillage électrique.The invention provides an electrical apparatus for a high voltage electrical power transmission line, such as an earthing switch, a disconnector or a circuit breaker, including means for delaying the moment of appearance of an arc. during a closing phase of the electrical equipment and to limit the duration of such an arc during a closing phase or opening of the electrical equipment.

ÉTAT DE LA TECHNIQUE ANTÉRIEURESTATE OF THE PRIOR ART

Un appareillage électrique pour une ligne de transport de courant électrique à haute tension tel que par exemple un sectionneur de mise à la terre (MALT) pour une ligne de transport à haute tension est un appareil de sécurité qui a pour but d'établir une connexion électrique entre des parties sous tension, qui peuvent être à un certain potentiel électrique dont la valeur varie depuis le volt jusqu'au kilovolt, et la terre qui est à un potentiel électrique considéré comme nul.An electrical apparatus for a high-voltage electrical power transmission line such as, for example, an earthing switch (MALT) for a high voltage transmission line is a security device which aims to establish a connection between live parts, which may be at a certain electrical potential whose value varies from volts to kilovolt, and the earth which is at an electrical potential considered as zero.

L'appareillage électrique comporte un contact fixe et un contact mobile, qui sont aptes à être mis en contact ou à être séparés, selon que l'on veut établir ou non une connexion électrique entre les deux parties sous tension.The electrical equipment comprises a fixed contact and a movable contact, which are able to be brought into contact or to be separated, according to whether one wants to establish or not an electrical connection between the two parts under tension.

Par exemple, pour un sectionneur de mise à la terre, le contact fixe est raccordé électriquement aux parties sous tension et le contact mobile est raccordé électriquement à la terre qui est à un potentiel nul.For example, for an earthing switch, the fixed contact is electrically connected to the live parts and the movable contact is electrically connected to the ground which is at zero potential.

De même, pour un sectionneur ou un disjoncteur, le contact fixe et le contact mobile sont chacun raccordés électriquement aux parties sous tension de l'appareillage.Similarly, for a disconnector or a circuit breaker, the fixed contact and the movable contact are each electrically connected to the live parts of the apparatus.

Lors de la fermeture de l'appareillage électrique, du fait de la différence de potentiel entre le contact fixe et le contact mobile, un arc électrique se forme entre les deux contacts.When closing the electrical equipment, because of the potential difference between the fixed contact and the moving contact, an electric arc is formed between the two contacts.

L'appareillage comporte aussi une enceinte fermée dans laquelle les contacts fixe et mobile sont reçus, et l'enceinte est remplie d'un gaz isolant électriquement tel que par exemple de l'hexafluorure de soufre SF6 ou un mélange gazeux sous pression, permettant de limiter la formation de l'arc électrique.The equipment also comprises a closed enclosure in which the fixed and mobile contacts are received, and the enclosure is filled with an electrically insulating gas such as for example sulfur hexafluoride SF6 or a gaseous mixture under pressure, allowing limit the formation of the electric arc.

Selon un mode de réalisation conventionnel, le contact fixe consiste en un élément globalement tubulaire, communément appelé "tulipe", dans lequel le contact mobile, consistant en une tige axiale, est reçu.According to a conventional embodiment, the fixed contact consists of a generally tubular element, commonly called "tulip", in which the movable contact, consisting of an axial rod, is received.

La tulipe peut consister en une pluralité de lamelles conductrices s'étendant parallèlement à l'axe principal de l'appareillage, et dont les extrémités libres sont repliées radialement vers l'intérieur de la tulipe, de manière telle que lorsque le contact mobile est inséré dans la tulipe, les lamelles se déforment élastiquement vers l'extérieur.The tulip may consist of a plurality of conductive lamellae extending parallel to the main axis of the apparatus, and whose free ends are folded radially towards the inside of the tulip, so that when the movable contact is inserted in the tulip, the lamellae deform elastically outwards.

Le contact mobile consiste en outre en une tige, qui peut être pleine ou tubulaire, dont l'extrémité est en forme de pointe ou est de forme anguleuse pour faciliter son raccordement avec le contact fixe.The movable contact further consists of a rod, which may be solid or tubular, whose end is shaped tip or is angular to facilitate its connection with the fixed contact.

Lors de la fermeture de l'appareillage, la forme particulière des contacts, notamment la forme anguleuse de l'extrémité du contact mobile, favorise la concentration de la charge électrique du contact mobile au niveau de pointes ou pics ainsi formés, de sorte que l'arc électrique se forme alors que le contact mobile est encore éloigné du contact fixe.When the apparatus is closed, the particular form of the contacts, in particular the angular shape of the end of the moving contact, favors the concentration of the electric charge of the moving contact at points or peaks thus formed, so that the electric arc is formed while the moving contact is still far from the fixed contact.

Ainsi, le risque de "claquage" électrique et par conséquent la durée de l'arc électrique sont relativement importants par rapport à la durée totale d'une phase de fermeture de l'appareillage. L'arc électrique provoque une usure importante des contacts fixe et mobile, il est donc préférable de limiter la durée d'apparition de l'arc afin de diminuer l'érosion des contacts fixe et mobile provoquée par l'arc électrique, ainsi que la pollution de l'appareillage, ce qui permet d'augmenter la durée de vie de l'appareillage.Thus, the risk of electrical "breakdown" and consequently the duration of the electric arc are relatively high compared to the total duration of a closing phase of the apparatus. The electric arc causes significant wear of the fixed and movable contacts, it is therefore preferable to limit the duration of appearance of the arc to reduce the erosion of the fixed and movable contacts caused by the electric arc, as well as the pollution of the equipment, which increases the service life of the equipment.

Pour réduire la durée de l'arc électrique, il a été proposé d'augmenter la vitesse de déplacement du contact mobile. Cependant, cela implique de concevoir des moyens d'entraînement de grandes dimensions, augmentant par conséquent les coûts de l'appareillage.To reduce the duration of the electric arc, it has been proposed to increase the moving speed of the moving contact. However, this involves designing large drive means, thus increasing the cost of fitting.

L'invention a pour but de proposer un appareillage électrique pour une ligne de transport de courant à haute tension, qui comporte des moyens permettant de retarder l'instant d'apparition de l'arc, c'est-à-dire pour que l'arc se forme ou se coupe à une position relative rapprochée des contacts.The object of the invention is to propose electrical equipment for a transmission line of high-voltage current, which comprises means for delaying the instant of appearance of the arc, that is to say for the arc is formed or cuts at a close relative position of the contacts.

On a représenté aux figures un appareillage électrique 10 pour une ligne de transport de courant électrique à haute tension, qui consiste ici en un sectionneur de mise à la terre.There is shown in the figures an electrical apparatus 10 for a high-voltage electric power transmission line, which here consists of an earthing switch.

Il sera compris que l'invention n'est pas limitée à un sectionneur de mise à la terre et que l'appareillage 10 peut être de tout autre type tel que par exemple un sectionneur ou un disjoncteur.It will be understood that the invention is not limited to an earthing switch and the apparatus 10 may be of any other type such as for example a disconnector or a circuit breaker.

Le sectionneur de mise à la terre 10 a pour fonction de raccorder électriquement des parties sous tensions d'une ligne de transport de courant électrique, qui sont à un certain potentiel électrique, à la terre, qui est à un potentiel électrique nul, afin de permettre une intervention sans risques sur ces parties de la ligne de transport.The function of the earthing switch 10 is to electrically connect the live parts of an electric power line, which are at a certain electric potential, to earth, which is at a zero electric potential, in order to allow safe intervention on these parts of the transmission line.

L'appareillage 10 consiste en un élément de forme générale allongée d'axe principal A qui est ici orienté longitudinalement.The apparatus 10 consists of a generally elongate element of main axis A which is here oriented longitudinally.

L'appareillage 10 comporte un contact fixe 12 qui est agencé à une extrémité axiale amont de l'appareillage 10 par rapport à l'axe principal A, ici l'extrémité axiale de gauche aux figures, et qui est raccordé aux parties sous tension de la ligne de transport de courant électriqueThe apparatus 10 comprises a fixed contact 12 which is arranged at an upstream axial end of the apparatus 10 with respect to the main axis A, here the left axial end in the figures, and which is connected to the live parts of FIG. the electric power line

L'appareillage 10 comporte aussi un contact mobile 22 qui est agencé à l'extrémité axiale aval de l'appareillage 10, ici l'extrémité de droite, et qui est ici raccordé à la terre.The apparatus 10 also comprises a movable contact 22 which is arranged at the downstream axial end of the apparatus 10, here the right end, and which is here connected to the ground.

Le contact fixe 12 comporte des orifices 16 de liaison à des conducteurs de la ligne de transport de courant et comporte une portion 14 de contact avec le contact mobile 22, qui est orienté vers l'aval.The fixed contact 12 comprises orifices 16 for connection to conductors of the current-carrying line and comprises a portion 14 of contact with the moving contact 22, which is oriented downstream.

Le contact mobile 22 est positionné axialement en vis-à-vis de la portion de contact 14 du contact fixe 12 et il comporte principalement une tige axiale 26 qui s'étend axialement vers l'amont et dont l'extrémité amont 26a est apte à venir en contact permanent avec le contact fixe 12.The movable contact 22 is positioned axially vis-à-vis the contact portion 14 of the fixed contact 12 and it mainly comprises an axial rod 26 which extends axially upstream and whose upstream end 26a is adapted to come into permanent contact with the fixed contact 12.

Dans la description de l'invention qui va suivre, le terme "tige" sera utilisé pour désigner aussi bien une tige pleine qu'une tige creuse ou tubulaire.In the description of the invention which follows, the term "rod" will be used to designate both a solid rod that a hollow or tubular rod.

L'appareillage 10 comporte aussi un corps fixe 20 raccordé à la terre par l'intermédiaire duquel le contact mobile 22 est guidé en translation axiale.The apparatus 10 also comprises a fixed body 20 connected to the earth through which the movable contact 22 is guided in axial translation.

Le contact mobile 22 est raccordé électriquement au corps fixe 20, pour son raccordement à la terre.The movable contact 22 is electrically connected to the fixed body 20, for its connection to the ground.

Le raccordement électrique ente le contact mobile 22 et le contact fixe 12 s'effectue par l'intermédiaire d'un composant 30 globalement annulaire qui est communément appelé "tulipe" et dans lequel un doigt 32 associé est reçu.The electrical connection between the movable contact 22 and the fixed contact 12 is effected by means of a generally annular component 30 which is commonly called "tulip" and in which an associated finger 32 is received.

La tulipe 30 est constituée d'une pluralité de lamelles axiales, c'est-à-dire parallèles à l'axe principal A, qui sont réparties de manière circonférentielle autour de l'axe principal A longitudinal, en formant un élément globalement tubulaire.The tulip 30 consists of a plurality of axial blades, that is to say parallel to the axis main A, which are distributed circumferentially around the longitudinal main axis A, forming a generally tubular element.

L'extrémité axiale libre de chaque lamelle est située à une cote radiale par rapport à l'axe principal A qui est inférieure au rayon externe du doigt 32. Ainsi, lorsque le doigt 32 est reçu dans la tulipe 30, les lamelles se déforment élastiquement et radialement.The free axial end of each lamella is located at a radial dimension with respect to the main axis A which is less than the outer radius of the finger 32. Thus, when the finger 32 is received in the tulip 30, the lamellae deform elastically and radially.

Du fait de leur déformation élastique, les lamelles s'appuient radialement sur le doigt, maintenant ainsi un contact électrique efficace.Due to their elastic deformation, the lamellae rest radially on the finger, thus maintaining an effective electrical contact.

Comme on l'a dit plus haut, le contact fixe 12 est raccordé électriquement aux parties sous tension de la ligne de transport de courant et le contact mobile 22 est raccordé électriquement à la terre, qui est à un potentiel électrique nul.As mentioned above, the fixed contact 12 is electrically connected to the live parts of the power line and the movable contact 22 is electrically connected to earth, which is at zero electrical potential.

Lors d'une opération de fermeture de l'appareillage 10, le contact mobile 22 est déplacé axialement vers l'amont jusqu'à venir en contact avec la portion de contact 14 du contact fixe 12.During a closing operation of the apparatus 10, the movable contact 22 is displaced axially upstream until it comes into contact with the contact portion 14 of the fixed contact 12.

A une position intermédiaire du contact mobile 22, la différence de potentiel entre le contact fixe 12 et le contact mobile 22 a pour conséquence qu'un arc électrique se produit entre contact mobile 22 et le contact fixe 12.At an intermediate position of the movable contact 22, the potential difference between the fixed contact 12 and the movable contact 22 has the consequence that an electric arc occurs between the movable contact 22 and the fixed contact 12.

Il en est de même lors d'une opération d'ouverture de l'appareillage 10.It is the same during an opening operation of the apparatus 10.

Selon l'invention, le contact mobile 22 porte un composant pare-effluves 34 qui est situé radialement autour de l'extrémité amont 26a de la tige 26. Ce composant pare-effluves est de préférence monté sur l'extrémité amont 26a de la tige 26.According to the invention, the movable contact 22 carries a corona shield 34 which is located radially around the upstream end 26a of the rod 26. This corona-shielding component is preferably mounted on the upstream end 26a of the rod 26.

Le composant pare-effluves est réalisé de manière telle que la charge électrique du contact mobile 22 n'est pas concentrée sur l'extrémité de la tige 26 mais est répartie sur une certaine surface, pour limiter la possibilité d'apparition d'un arc électrique.The corona shielding element is made such that the electric charge of the movable contact 22 is not concentrated on the end of the rod 26 but is distributed over a certain surface, to limit the possibility of occurrence of an arc electric.

Aussi, le composant pare-effluves 34 est réalisé de manière telle qu'il comporte une face amont 36 située en vis-à-vis du contact fixe 12 et cette face amont 36 est sensiblement lisse, c'est-à-dire qu'elle ne comporte aucune aspérité au niveau de laquelle la charge électrique du contact mobile pourrait se concentrer.Also, the corona shielding element 34 is made in such a way that it has an upstream face 36 facing the stationary contact 12 and this upstream face 36 is substantially smooth, that is to say that it has no roughness at which the electric charge of the moving contact could be concentrated.

Ainsi, un arc électrique se forme lorsque la distance entre le contact mobile 22 et le contact fixe 12, est réduite par rapport à un appareillage selon l'état de la technique.Thus, an electric arc is formed when the distance between the movable contact 22 and the fixed contact 12 is reduced compared to an apparatus according to the state of the art.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention représenté à la figure 1, le contact fixe 12 et le contact mobile 22 sont réalisés de manière que la tulipe 30 est fixe, et forme le contact fixe 12. Le doigt 32 est alors porté par la tige 26, formant alors le contact mobile 22.According to a first embodiment of the invention shown in figure 1 the fixed contact 12 and the movable contact 22 are made so that the tulip 30 is fixed, and forms the fixed contact 12. The finger 32 is then carried by the rod 26, then forming the movable contact 22.

Selon ce premier mode de réalisation et conformément à l'invention, le composant pare-effluves est porté par le contact mobile 22 et consiste en une plaque 34 s'étendant radialement autour du doigt 32, formant un capot pare-effluves.According to this first embodiment and according to the invention, the corona shielding component is carried by the movable contact 22 and consists of a plate 34 extending radially around the finger 32, forming a corona shield.

Ici, le capot pare-effluves 34 consiste en un disque globalement radial, qui est coaxial à l'axe principal A longitudinal.Here, the corona shield 34 consists of a generally radial disk, which is coaxial with the longitudinal main axis A.

Le capot 34 est positionné axialement en retrait vers l'aval par rapport au doigt 32.The cover 34 is positioned axially recessed downstream with respect to the finger 32.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, le capot 34 est en outre de forme convexe bombé vers l'amont. La courbure du capot 34 est par exemple définie de manière telle que le capot 34 forme une portion de sphère.According to a preferred embodiment, the cover 34 is further of convex shape curved upstream. The curvature of the cover 34 is for example defined so that the cover 34 forms a sphere portion.

Selon une variante de réalisation (non représentée), le composant pare-effluves est en forme d'un anneau radial qui est situé autour du doigt 32 et à distance radiale de celui-ci.According to an alternative embodiment (not shown), the corona shielding member is in the form of a radial ring which is located around the finger 32 and at a radial distance therefrom.

La position axiale du capot 34, notamment la distance entre le capot 34 et l'extrémité amont du doigt et, le cas échéant, le rayon de courbure du disque, sont définis de manière que la distance entre le capot 34 et l'ensemble fixe est sensiblement égale à la distance entre l'extrémité amont du doigt 32 et la tulipe 30.The axial position of the cover 34, in particular the distance between the cover 34 and the upstream end of the finger and, where appropriate, the radius of curvature of the disc, are defined so that the distance between the cover 34 and the fixed assembly is substantially equal to the distance between the upstream end of the finger 32 and the tulip 30.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation, la position axiale du capot 34 est définie de manière telle que le capot 34 ne vient pas en contact avec le contact fixe 12 lorsque l'appareillage 10 est fermé.According to a first embodiment, the axial position of the cover 34 is defined such that the cover 34 does not come into contact with the fixed contact 12 when the apparatus 10 is closed.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation, la position axiale du capot 34 est définie de manière telle que le capot 34 est en contact avec le contact fixe 12 lorsque l'appareillage 10 est fermé.According to a second embodiment, the axial position of the cover 34 is defined such that the cover 34 is in contact with the fixed contact 12 when the apparatus 10 is closed.

On a représenté aux figures 3 et 4 un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention dans lequel le capot pare-effluves 34 est apte à se déplacer axialement vers l'amont de manière solidaire de la tige 26 jusqu'à une position intermédiaire prédéfinie au-delà de laquelle seule la tige 26 coulisse vers l'amont, le capot pare effluves 34 restant immobile.Representatives Figures 3 and 4 another embodiment of the invention in which the hood The corona shield 34 is able to move axially upstream integrally from the rod 26 to a predefined intermediate position beyond which only the rod 26 slides upstream, the corona cover 34 remaining stationary. .

Il sera compris que l'invention n'est pas limitée à un composant pare-effluves consistant en une plaque telle que représentée, et que le composant pare-effluves peut avoir toute autre conception telle que par exemple un anneau tel que décrit précédemment.It will be understood that the invention is not limited to a corona shield component consisting of a plate as shown, and that the corona shielding member may have any other design such as for example a ring as described above.

Cette position intermédiaire est définie de manière telle que le capot pare effluves est à distance du contact fixe 12 et de manière que cette distance entre le capot pare effluves 34 et le contact fixe 12 est inférieure à la distance à partir de laquelle l'arc électrique se forme.This intermediate position is defined in such a way that the corona cover is at a distance from the fixed contact 12 and so that this distance between the corona cover 34 and the fixed contact 12 is less than the distance from which the electric arc forms.

Pour cela, le capot pare effluves 34 est monté coulissant axialement le long de la tige 26. Aussi, le capot 34 et la tige 26 comportent des moyens pour solidariser le capot avec la tige lors du coulissement axial vers l'amont vers la position intermédiaire.For this, the corona bonnet 34 is mounted to slide axially along the rod 26. Also, the cap 34 and the rod 26 comprise means for securing the cap with the rod during axial sliding upstream to the intermediate position. .

Ces moyens de solidarisation sont débrayables, pour permettre à la tige 26 de coulisser vers l'amont indépendamment du capot 34, lorsque cette position intermédiaire a été franchie.These securing means are disengageable, to allow the rod 26 to slide upstream independently of the cover 34, when this intermediate position has been crossed.

Ici, les moyens de solidarisation consistent en une gorge annulaire 38 qui est réalisée dans la paroi cylindrique de la tige 26 et un anneau élastique 40 qui est porté par le capot 34 dont les dimensions de l'anneau élastique 40 sont complémentaires des dimensions de la gorge 38.Here, the securing means consist of an annular groove 38 which is formed in the cylindrical wall of the rod 26 and an elastic ring 40 which is carried by the hood 34 whose dimensions of the elastic ring 40 are complementary dimensions of the groove 38.

Ainsi, lorsque l'anneau élastique 40 est reçu dans la gorge 38, le capot 34 est solidaire de la tige 26 en coulissement axialement.Thus, when the elastic ring 40 is received in the groove 38, the cover 34 is secured to the rod 26 in sliding axially.

Le débrayage des moyens de solidarisation s'effectue en sortant l'anneau élastique 40 hors de la gorge 38.The disengagement of the securing means is effected by exiting the elastic ring 40 out of the groove 38.

Pour cela, l'appareillage 10 comporte des aiguilles 42 qui sont fixées au capot 34 et qui s'étendent axialement vers l'aval depuis une face aval du capot 34.For this, the apparatus 10 comprises needles 42 which are fixed to the cover 34 and which extend axially downstream from a downstream face of the cover 34.

Les aiguilles 42 sont solidaires du capot et elles sont mobiles en translation par rapport au corps fixe 20 raccordé à la terre.The needles 42 are integral with the cover and they are movable in translation relative to the fixed body 20 connected to the ground.

L'extrémité aval 44 de chaque aiguille 42 est apte à venir en butée vers l'amont contre une face associée du corps fixe 20 lorsque la tige et le capot 34 sont dans la position intermédiaire prédéfinie.The downstream end 44 of each needle 42 is able to come into abutment upstream against an associated face of the fixed body 20 when the rod and the cover 34 are in the predefined intermediate position.

Ainsi, les aiguilles 42 bloquent le capot en translation au-delà de la position intermédiaire. Par conséquent, l'anneau élastique 40 est sorti de la gorge 38 de sorte que la tige 26 continue de se déplacer vers l'amont, indépendamment du capot 34.Thus, the needles 42 block the cover in translation beyond the intermediate position. Consequently, the elastic ring 40 is out of the groove 38 so that the rod 26 continues to move upstream, independently of the cover 34.

Lors d'une phase d'ouverture de l'appareillage 10, la tige se déplace vers l'aval, rompant alors le contact avec le contact fixe 12.During an opening phase of the apparatus 10, the rod moves downstream, thereby breaking the contact with the fixed contact 12.

Pour que l'anneau élastique 40 retourne dans sa position engagée dans la gorge 38, l'extrémité amont de la tige 26 comporte un épaulement 46 qui est apte à venir en butée contre le capot 34. Aussi, lorsque la tige est en position aval extrême, le capot 34 est serré axialement entre l'extrémité amont 26a de la tige et le corps fixe.So that the elastic ring 40 returns to its engaged position in the groove 38, the upstream end of the rod 26 has a shoulder 46 which is adapted to abut against the cover 34. Also, when the rod is in the extreme downstream position, the cover 34 is clamped axially between the upstream end 26a of the rod and the fixed body.

Les positions relatives des faces d'appui, de la gorge et de l'anneau élastique sont définies de manière que dans la position aval extrême représentée à la figure 3, le capot 34 et la tige sont dans une position relative pour laquelle l'anneau élastique est eau niveau de la gorge 38.The relative positions of the bearing faces, the groove and the elastic ring are defined so that in the extreme downstream position shown in FIG. figure 3 , the cover 34 and the rod are in a relative position for which the elastic ring is water level of the groove 38.

On a représenté à la figure 2 un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention selon lequel le composant pare-effluves est formé par la tulipe 30.We have shown figure 2 another embodiment of the invention according to which the corona shielding component is formed by the tulip 30.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, la tulipe 30 est montée sur l'extrémité libre 26a de la tige 26 de manière telle qu'elle est ouverte vers l'amont.According to this embodiment, the tulip 30 is mounted on the free end 26a of the rod 26 so that it is open upstream.

Ainsi, la tulipe 30 est portée par le contact mobile 22 et le doigt 32 est une partie du contact fixe 12.Thus, the tulip 30 is carried by the movable contact 22 and the finger 32 is a part of the fixed contact 12.

Selon ce mode de réalisation, chaque lamelle constituant la tulipe 30 comporte une face d'extrémité amont libre qui est située en vis-à-vis du contact fixe 12. La face d'extrémité amont de chaque lamelle est globalement lisse, c'est-à-dire qu'elle ne comporte aucune aspérité, comme décrit précédemment, et la réunion des faces forme une surface annulaire amont elle aussi lisse faisant face à l'ensemble fixe 12.According to this embodiment, each lamella constituting the tulip 30 has a free upstream end face which is located opposite the fixed contact 12. The upstream end face of each lamella is generally smooth, it is that is to say, it has no roughness, as described above, and the joining of the faces forms a smooth upstream annular surface facing the fixed assembly 12.

La charge de l'ensemble mobile 20 est ainsi répartie sur cette surface annulaire, au niveau de laquelle un ou plusieurs arcs électriques sont aptes à se former.The charge of the moving assembly 20 is thus distributed over this annular surface, at the level of which one or more electric arcs are able to form.

Selon une variante de ce mode de réalisation, la tulipe 30 et le capot 34 sont tous les deux portés par la tige 26 de manière que la tulipe 30 est montée à l'extrémité libre de la tige 26 et le capot 34 est situé axialement en retrait vers l'aval par rapport à la tulipe 30.According to a variant of this embodiment, the tulip 30 and the cap 34 are both carried by the rod 26 so that the tulip 30 is mounted at the free end of the rod 26 and the cap 34 is located axially in position. downstream withdrawal from tulip 30.

Ainsi, la charge électrique de l'ensemble mobile 20 est répartie sur une surface encore plus grande, retardant encore plus le moment d'apparition de l'arc électrique lors de la fermeture de l'appareillage ou réduisant la durée de formation de l'arc électrique lors de l'ouverture de l'appareillage 10.Thus, the electrical charge of the moving assembly 20 is distributed over an even larger surface, further delaying the moment of appearance of the electric arc when closing the apparatus or reducing the duration of formation of the electric arc when opening the switchgear 10.

L'invention a été décrite en référence à un appareillage 10 qui consiste en un sectionneur de mise à la terre comportant un contact fixe 12 qui est raccordé aux parties sous tension de la ligne de transport de courant électrique et comportant un contact mobile 22 qui est raccordé à la terre. Il sera compris que l'invention n'est pas limitée à un sectionneur de mise à la terre et que l'appareillage 10 peut consister en tout autre appareillage de ligne haute tension tel qu'un sectionneur ou un disjoncteur de ligne haute tension.The invention has been described with reference to an apparatus 10 which consists of an earthing switch having a fixed contact 12 which is connected to the live parts of the electric power transmission line and having a movable contact 22 which is connected to the ground. It will be understood that the invention is not limited to an earthing switch and that the switchgear 10 may be any other high voltage line switchgear such as a high voltage switch or line breaker.
