Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif sectionneur de déconnexion (ou connexion) électrique haute-tension selon le préambule de la revendication 1.The present invention relates to a high-voltage electrical disconnection (or connection) disconnector device according to the preamble of claim 1.

Dans le domaine de la haute tension, des postes électriques sous forme d'arrangement d'enveloppe métallique (ou Gas Insulated Substation en anglais, communément désigné par la terminologie GIS) sont utilisés, de sorte qu'un ensemble de composants électriques y soit encapsulé. Ces postes comprennent un gaz (SF6 ou mélange de gaz) ou un milieu isolant tel que le vide. Un des composants électriques usuels, tel que décrit dans DE102013216371A1 , est un dispositif sectionneur de déconnexion électrique haute-tension comprenant :

  • un contacteur femelle;
  • un contacteur mâle mobile selon une direction longitudinale relativement au conducteur femelle de sorte à garantir un mode fermé, un mode de déconnexion et un mode ouvert du sectionneur,
  • un jeu de contacteurs-ressort disposés sur une circonférence interne du contacteur femelle, afin d'assurer en mode fermé du sectionneur un contact électrique entre les contacteurs mâle et femelle,
  • au moins un deuxième jeu de contacteurs-ressort disposé sur une deuxième circonférence interne du contacteur femelle, afin d'assurer en mode fermé du sectionneur un autre contact électrique entre les contacteurs mâle et femelle.
In the field of high voltage, substations in the form of a metallic envelope arrangement (or G as I nsulated S ubstation in English, commonly referred to as GIS terminology) are used, so that a set of electrical components be encapsulated. These stations include a gas (SF6 or gas mixture) or an insulating medium such as vacuum. One of the usual electrical components, as described in DE102013216371A1 , is a high-voltage electrical disconnection disconnect device comprising:
  • a female contactor;
  • a movable male switch in a longitudinal direction relative to the female conductor so as to guarantee a closed mode, a disconnection mode and an open mode of the disconnector,
  • a set of spring contactors arranged on an internal circumference of the female contactor, to ensure in closed mode of the disconnector an electrical contact between the male and female contactors,
  • at least a second set of spring contactors arranged on a second internal circumference of the female contactor, to ensure in closed mode of the disconnector another electrical contact between the male and female contactors.

En mode fermé, le sectionneur permet ainsi de laisser passer un courant de charge élevé (au-delà de 1500 Ampères) entre par exemple de unités électriques appelés communément systèmes de bus. En mode de déconnexion, un mécanisme de séparation des connecteurs mâle et femelle est prévu afin d'obtenir une coupure dudit courant, cette coupure donnant lieu à une formation d'arc électrique devant être efficacement résorbé afin par exemple d'éviter tout réallumage intempestif.In closed mode, the disconnector thus makes it possible to pass a high load current (above 1500 amperes) between, for example, electrical units commonly referred to as systems. of bus. In disconnection mode, a mechanism for separating the male and female connectors is provided in order to obtain a break in said current, this cutoff giving rise to an electric arc formation that must be effectively resorbed in order, for example, to prevent any inadvertent reignition.

Pour certaines architectures de sectionneur à haute tension, il doit être requis de garantir une performance de déconnexion liée à ladite coupure de courant. A ce titre, il existe un standard actuel IEC 62271-102 présentant de telles performances. Actuellement, des postes de type GIS prévoient que des sectionneurs sous 550 kVolts ne soient pas soumis à une tension de transfert entre systèmes de bus (dite BTV « Bus Transfer Voltage ») de plus de 20 Volts, ainsi qu'à un courant de transfert entre systèmes de bus (dit BTC « Bus Transfer Current ») de plus de 1600 Ampères.For some high-voltage disconnector architectures, it must be required to guarantee a disconnection performance related to said power failure. As such, there is a current standard IEC 62271-102 with such performance. Currently, GIS type posts provide that under disconnectors 550 kVolts are not subjected to transfer voltage between bus systems (called BTV "B us T ransfer V oltage") of more than 20 Volts, as well as a transfer current between bus systems (called BTC " B us T ransfer C urrent") of more than 1600 amperes.

Toutefois, il est à prévoir que les futures installations de postes de type GIS à plus grande échelle devront pouvoir être soumises à des valeurs de tensions et des courants de transfert BTV, BTC plus élevées, et même au-delà d'un facteur 2. Il s'avère ainsi que la plupart des architectures actuelles de sectionneur à haute tension atteignent leur limite physique pour garantir une performance de coupure ou plus généralement de déconnexion (ou connexion) efficace EP-A-2221844 décrit un dispositif sectionneur de déconnexion électrique haute tension d'après le préambule de la revendication 1. Un but de la présente invention est de proposer un dispositif sectionneur de déconnexion ou connexion électrique haute-tension permettant d'augmenter des performances de déconnexion du sectionneur, en particulier pour le cas où des valeurs plus élevées de tensions et de courants de transfert BTV, BTC sont requises.However, it is to be expected that future larger GIS-type substation installations will have to be able to be subjected to higher BTV, BTC and higher voltage values and transfer currents, and even beyond a factor of 2. It turns out that most current architectures of high voltage disconnectors reach their physical limit to guarantee a performance of cutoff or more generally of effective disconnection (or connection). EP-A-2221844 discloses a high voltage electrical disconnection disconnector device according to the preamble of claim 1. An object of the present invention is to provide a disconnect disconnector device or high-voltage electrical connection for increasing disconnection performance of the disconnector, especially for the case where higher values of transfer voltages and currents BTV, BTC are required.

A partir d'un dispositif sectionneur de déconnexion (ou connexion) électrique haute-tension comprenant :

  • un contacteur femelle;
  • un contacteur mâle mobile selon une direction longitudinale relativement au conducteur femelle de sorte à garantir un mode fermé, un mode de déconnexion et un mode ouvert du sectionneur,
  • un premier jeu de contacteurs-ressort disposés sur une circonférence interne du contacteur femelle, afin d'assurer en mode fermé du sectionneur un contact électrique entre les contacteurs mâle et femelle,
  • au moins un deuxième jeu de contacteurs-ressort disposé sur une deuxième circonférence interne du contacteur femelle (la dite deuxième circonférence étant distinctement juxtaposée à la première circonférence selon la direction longitudinale, afin d'assurer en mode fermé du sectionneur un autre, dit deuxième contact électrique entre les contacteurs mâle et femelle,
il est proposé que le deuxième contact électrique est un contact en série entre successivement une extrémité longitudinale du contacteur mâle, au moins un conducteur et les dits contacteurs-ressort, ledit conducteur comprenant au moins deux blocs dont au moins un est mobile selon la direction longitudinale relativement aux dits contacteurs mâle et femelle en mode de déconnexion (ou connexion) du sectionneur.From a high-voltage electrical disconnection (or connection) disconnecting device comprising:
  • a female contactor;
  • a movable male switch in a longitudinal direction relative to the female conductor so as to guarantee a closed mode, a disconnection mode and an open mode of the disconnector,
  • a first set of spring contactors arranged on an inner circumference of the female contactor, in order to ensure in closed mode of the disconnector an electrical contact between the male and female contactors,
  • at least a second set of spring contactors arranged on a second internal circumference of the female contactor (the said second circumference being distinctly juxtaposed with the first circumference in the longitudinal direction, in order to ensure in the closed mode of the disconnector another, said second contact between the male and female contactors,
it is proposed that the second electrical contact is a series contact successively between a longitudinal end of the male contactor, at least one conductor and said spring contactors, said conductor comprising at least two blocks, at least one of which is movable in the longitudinal direction relative to said male and female contactors disconnection mode (or connection) of the disconnector.

Avantageusement, du fait qu'un premier des blocs soit mobile entre et relativement à l'extrémité mâle du contacteur mâle et au second bloc assurant un contact avec le deuxième jeu de contacteurs-ressort lors du mode de déconnexion, il est possible de former durant ce dit mode deux interstices aux extrémités longitudinales du bloc mobile, c'est-à-dire en vis-à-vis de l'extrémité mâle du contacteur mâle et d'une face du second bloc. Ainsi, l'arc de coupure formé lors du mode de déconnexion se subdivise en deux arcs, chacun d'entre eux étant localisé dans un des deux interstices formés. Les arcs étant formés en série, leurs tensions s'additionnent, ce qui permet donc de satisfaire à des conditions de poste GIS à sectionneur de plus fortes valeurs de tension ou de courant de transfert BTV, BTC.Advantageously, since a first of the blocks is movable between and relatively to the male end of the male contactor and the second block ensuring contact with the second set of contactors-spring during the disconnection mode, it is possible to form during this said mode two interstices at the longitudinal ends of the movable block, that is to say vis-à-vis the male end of the male contactor and a face of the second block. Thus, the cutoff arc formed during the disconnection mode is subdivided into two arcs, each of which is located in one of the two interstices formed. The arcs being formed in series, their tensions add up, which thus makes it possible to satisfy GIS post conditions at disconnector of higher values of voltage or transfer current BTV, BTC.

De plus, lors du mode de déconnexion, c'est-à-dire lors retrait du contacteur mâle du contacteur femelle sur une course définie, le premier jeu de contacteurs-ressort est déconnecté du contacteur mâle (d'où une usure minimisée du premier jeu de contacteurs-ressort), alors qu'au travers du deuxième jeu de contacteurs-ressort et au moyen d'un maintien de contact entre le contacteur mâle et le conducteur comprenant les deux blocs, le courant initialement passant lors du mode fermé en parallèle au travers de chacun des jeux de contacteur-ressort n'est pas subitement coupé, mais est redistribué sous un très bref délai vers un des dits passages en parallèle, ce qui permet donc de ne pas encore générer d'arc de coupure en début de déconnexion comme usuellement connu.In addition, during the disconnection mode, that is to say during removal of the male contactor of the female contactor on a defined stroke, the first set of contactors-spring is disconnected from the male contactor (hence a minimized wear of the first set of contactors-spring), while through the second set of contactors-spring and by means of a maintenance of contact between the male contactor and the conductor comprising the two blocks, the current initially passing during the closed mode in parallel through each of the sets of contactor-spring is not suddenly cut, but is redistributed in a very short time to one of said passages in parallel, which thus makes it possible not to generate arc cutoff at the beginning of disconnection as usually known.

Un ensemble de sous-revendications présente également des avantages de l'invention.A set of subclaims also has advantages of the invention.

An exemplary embodiment of such a high-voltage disconnector device according to the invention is provided (for the case of an electrical disconnection) using the figures described:

Figure 1 présente un mode de réalisation du dispositif sectionneur de déconnexion électrique haute-tension selon l'invention et en mode fermé comprenant :

  • un contacteur femelle (2) ;
  • un contacteur mâle (1) mobile selon une direction longitudinale (D) relativement au conducteur femelle de sorte à garantir un mode fermé, un mode de déconnexion et un mode ouvert du sectionneur,
  • un premier jeu de contacteurs-ressort (3) disposés sur une circonférence interne du contacteur femelle, afin d'assurer en mode fermé du sectionneur un premier contact électrique entre les contacteurs mâle et femelle,
  • au moins un deuxième jeu de contacteurs-ressort (5) disposé sur une deuxième circonférence interne du contacteur femelle, afin d'assurer en mode fermé du sectionneur un autre, dit ici deuxième contact électrique (distinctement juxtaposé au premier contact) entre les contacteurs mâle et femelle,
  • le deuxième contact électrique est un contact en série entre successivement une extrémité longitudinale du contacteur mâle (1), au moins un conducteur et les dits contacteurs-ressort (5), ledit conducteur comprenant au moins deux blocs (6, 7) dont au moins un est mobile selon la direction longitudinale relativement aux dits contacteurs mâle et femelle en mode de déconnexion du sectionneur.
Figure 1 presents an embodiment of the high-voltage electrical disconnection disconnection device according to the invention and in closed mode comprising:
  • a female contactor (2);
  • a male contactor (1) movable in a longitudinal direction (D) relative to the female conductor so as to guarantee a closed mode, a disconnection mode and an open mode of the disconnector,
  • a first set of spring contactors (3) arranged on an inner circumference of the female contactor, to ensure in closed mode of the disconnector a first electrical contact between the male and female contactors,
  • at least one second set of spring contactors (5) arranged on a second internal circumference of the female contactor, in order to ensure in the closed mode of the disconnector another, here said second electrical contact (distinctly juxtaposed at the first contact) between the male contactors and female,
  • the second electrical contact is a series contact successively between a longitudinal end of the male contactor (1), at least one conductor and said spring contactors (5), said conductor comprising at least two blocks (6, 7) of which at least one is movable in the longitudinal direction relative to said male and female contactors disconnection mode of the disconnector.

Les premier et le deuxième jeu de contacteurs-ressort (3, 5) sont disposées respectivement sur la première et la deuxième circonférence interne du contacteur femelle, les dites circonférences étant distinctes, car juxtaposées longitudinalement dans l'évidement du contacteur femelle dans lequel en mode fermé l'extrémité mâle (ou broche) du contacteur mâle est logée.The first and the second sets of spring contactors (3, 5) are respectively arranged on the first and second internal circumferences of the female contactor, the said circumferences being distinct because they are juxtaposed longitudinally in the recess of the female contactor in which the closed the male end (or pin) of the male contactor is housed.

En position fermée selon figure 1, deux passages de courant (I1, 12) du contacteur mâle vers le contacteur femelle sont formés en parallèle par respectivement :

  • une première connexion en série du contacteur mâle (1), du premier jeu de contacteurs-ressort (3), du contacteur femelle (2) ;
  • une deuxième connexion en série du contacteur mâle (1), des blocs conducteurs (6, 7), du second jeu de contacteurs-ressort (5), du contacteur femelle (2).
In closed position according to figure 1 two current passages (I1, 12) from the male contactor to the female contactor are formed in parallel by respectively:
  • a first series connection of the contactor (1), the first set of contactors-spring (3), the female contactor (2);
  • a second series connection of the contactor (1), conductive blocks (6, 7), the second set of contactors-spring (5), the female contactor (2).

Le dispositif sectionneur prévoit un arrangement de poussée (4) qui exerce une force sur le conducteur comprenant les deux blocs (6, 7) vers l'extrémité longitudinale (broche « mâle ») du contacteur mâle (1), assurant leur contact en mode fermé du sectionneur. Les deux blocs (6, 7) sont électriquement conducteurs et disposés en série selon la direction longitudinale, les dits blocs étant dissociables selon la dite direction par un moyen d'écartement - tel que ici un arrangement de retenue élastique (8, 9, 9') - en prochain mode de déconnexion du sectionneur.The disconnecting device provides a thrust arrangement (4) which exerts a force on the conductor comprising the two blocks (6, 7) towards the longitudinal end (pin "male") of the male contactor (1), ensuring their contact in the closed disconnector. The two blocks (6, 7) are electrically conductive and arranged in series in the longitudinal direction, said blocks being dissociable in said direction by a spacer means - such as here an elastic retaining arrangement (8, 9, 9 ') - in the next disconnection mode of the disconnector.

Figure 2 présente le dispositif sectionneur selon figure 1 en début de mode de déconnexion, alors que le contacteur mâle (1) a amorcé son retrait longitudinal pour se retirer du premier jeu de contacteurs-ressort (3). La première connexion en série du contacteur mâle (1), du premier jeu de contacteurs-ressort (3), du contacteur femelle (2) est donc ouverte, de sorte que le premier passage de courant (I1) est bloqué. Figure 2 presents the disconnector device according to figure 1 at the beginning of the disconnection mode, while the male contactor (1) has initiated its longitudinal withdrawal to withdraw from the first set of spring contactors (3). The first series connection of the contactor male (1), the first set of contactors-spring (3), the female contactor (2) is open, so that the first current passage (I1) is blocked.

L'arrangement de poussée (4) exerce toujours une force sur le conducteur comprenant les deux blocs (6, 7) vers l'extrémité longitudinale (broche « mâle ») du contacteur mâle (1), assurant ainsi leurs contacts, de sorte que le deuxième passage de courant (I2) est maintenu au travers du deuxième jeu de contacteurs-ressort (5). Il est ainsi éviter avantageusement de générer un premier et unique arc de coupure entre les contacteurs (1, 2) en début de déconnexion, tel que pour des configurations usuelles de déconnexion entre des contacteurs mâle et femelle.The thrust arrangement (4) always exerts a force on the conductor comprising the two blocks (6, 7) towards the longitudinal end (pin "male") of the male contactor (1), thus ensuring their contacts, so that the second current passage (I2) is maintained through the second set of spring contactors (5). It is thus advantageously avoided to generate a first and only breaking arc between the contactors (1, 2) at the beginning of disconnection, such as for usual disconnection configurations between male and female contactors.

Figure 3 présente le dispositif sectionneur selon figures 1 et 2 en fin de mode de déconnexion, alors que, l'arrangement de poussée (4) exerce toujours une force sur le conducteur comprenant les deux « premier et deuxième » blocs (6, 7) vers l'extrémité longitudinale du contacteur mâle (1). Puis, sachant que le contacteur mâle (1) continue sa course de retrait du contacteur femelle, il apparait finalement un interstice entre l'extrémité du contacteur mâle (1) et le deuxième bloc (6) le plus proche du dit contacteur mâle (1), le dit bloc ayant une course limitée. C'est alors que peut être amorcée également une dissociation des deux blocs (6, 7). Figure 3 presents the disconnector device according to Figures 1 and 2 at the end of the disconnection mode, whereas, the thrust arrangement (4) always exerts a force on the conductor comprising the two "first and second" blocks (6, 7) towards the longitudinal end of the male contactor (1) . Then, knowing that the male contactor (1) continues its withdrawal stroke of the female contactor, it finally appears a gap between the end of the male contactor (1) and the second block (6) closest to said male contactor (1). ), said block having a limited stroke. It is then that a dissociation of the two blocks (6, 7) can be initiated.

Aussi, les dits blocs dissociables atteignent leur position dissociée selon la dite direction par un moyen d'écartement en mode de déconnexion du sectionneur.Also, said dissociable blocks reach their position dissociated along said direction by a spacing means in disconnector disconnection mode.

Le moyen d'écartement est au plus simple un arrangement de retenue élastique (8, 9, 9'), interagissant sur au moins une extrémité longitudinale du conducteur comprenant les deux blocs (6, 7) disposés en série et à dissocier longitudinalement. Le but de cette retenue est de dissocier les dits blocs (6, 7), alors que le premier bloc (6) le plus proche du contacteur mâle (1) se dissocie aussi lui-même du contacteur mâle toujours en retrait hors du contacteur femelle. A titre d'exemple efficace et simple, l'arrangement de retenue élastique peut ainsi comprendre un axe (9) (isolant électriquement) à butée sectionnelle (9') couplée via des tenseurs (8) au deuxième bloc (7) mobile le plus proche de la dite butée (9'), le premier bloc (6) étant disposé fixe sur l'axe (9) au plus loin de la butée (9'), de sorte que le dit deuxième bloc (7) et les tenseurs (8) exercent un rappel ou retrait longitudinal de la butée (9') dès lors que, en mode de déconnexion, l'autre premier bloc(6) est séparée de l'extrémité mâle du connecteur mâle (1). Autrement dit, l'arrangement de retenue élastique comprend un axe à butée sectionnelle (9') couplée via des tenseurs (8) au deuxième bloc (7) le plus proche de la dite butée (9), le premier bloc (6) étant disposé sur l'axe (9) au plus loin de la butée (9'), l'axe (9) à butée sectionnelle (9') couplée à des tenseurs (8) exerçant une force longitudinale sur le bloc (6) afin de mouvoir le dit bloc (6) avec l'axe (9) et de l'écarter de l'autre bloc(7) sur l'axe. Ainsi, comme déjà décrit précédemment, deux interstices sont formés en série (entre les éléments 1 et 6 ainsi qu'entre les éléments 6 et 7), où se créent des arcs de coupure (10, 11) en série tels que visés par l'invention. Le gaz isolant tel que SF6 vient alors se loger dans les interstices pour souffler les arcs et réaliser leur coupure respective.The spacing means is at most simple an elastic retaining arrangement (8, 9, 9 ') interacting on at least one longitudinal end of the conductor comprising the two blocks (6, 7) arranged in series and to dissociate longitudinally. The purpose of this restraint is to dissociate the said blocks (6, 7), while the first block (6) closest to the male contactor (1) also dissociates itself from the male contactor still set back from the female contactor . As an effective and simple example, the resilient retaining arrangement may thus comprise an axis (9) (electrically insulating) with a sectional stop (9 ') coupled via tensors (8) to the second most movable block (7). close to said stop (9 '), the first block (6) being arranged fixed on the axis (9) farthest from the stop (9'), so that said second block (7) and the tensors (8) exert a longitudinal return or withdrawal of the stop (9 ') since, in disconnection mode, the other first block (6) is separated from the male end of the male connector (1). In other words, the resilient retaining arrangement comprises a sectional abutment axis (9 ') coupled via tensors (8) to the second block (7) closest to said abutment (9), the first block (6) being willing on the axis (9) farthest from the stop (9 '), the axis (9) with sectional stop (9') coupled to tensors (8) exerting a longitudinal force on the block (6) in order to moving said block (6) with the axis (9) and away from the other block (7) on the axis. Thus, as already described above, two interstices are formed in series (between the elements 1 and 6 as well as between the elements 6 and 7), where break arcs (10, 11) are created in series as referred to in FIG. 'invention. The insulating gas such as SF6 is then housed in the interstices to blow the arcs and realize their respective cut.

Non représenté, mais pour une meilleure efficacité des propriétés de l'écartement visé (et donc des propriétés des interstices créés), il est possible de prévoir que le moyen d'écartement puisse comprendre des aimants disposés entre des extrémités longitudinales des blocs (6, 7) et présentant des pôles magnétiques identiques exerçant une force de répulsion entre les dits blocs. Additionnellement ou alternativement encore, le moyen d'écartement peut comprendre des éléments compressibles isolants électriquement disposés dans des encoches des extrémités longitudinales des blocs (6, 7) et exerçant une force de répulsion entre les dits blocs.Not shown, but for a better efficiency of the properties of the target spacing (and therefore the properties of the interstices created), it is possible to provide that the spacing means may comprise magnets arranged between longitudinal ends of the blocks (6, 7) and having identical magnetic poles exerting a repulsive force between said blocks. Additionally or alternatively again, the spacer means may comprise electrically insulating compressible elements arranged in notches of the longitudinal ends of the blocks (6, 7) and exerting a repulsive force between said blocks.

Figure 4 présente enfin le dispositif selon une des figures 1 à 3 en mode ouvert. Les arcs de coupure (10, 11) en série ont été étouffés par le gaz SF6 dans les interstices. Figure 4 finally presents the device according to one of Figures 1 to 3 in open mode. The cutoff arches (10, 11) in series were smothered by SF6 gas in the interstices.

Il est à noter que le dispositif selon l'invention comme présenté dans une des figures est adapté aux exigences du standard IEC 62271-102 et en particulier d'une révision associée CD 17A/1067/CD, selon une version 02/201.It should be noted that the device according to the invention as shown in one of the figures is adapted to the requirements of the IEC 62271-102 standard and in particular to a related revision CD 17A / 1067 / CD, according to a version 02/201.

Enfin, le dispositif sectionneur de déconnexion électrique haute-tension présenté dans cadre de l'invention est aussi analogiquement apte à permettre une connexion électrique des contacteurs mâle et femelle, en considérant par exemple des modes de connexions définis par les figures précédentes 1 à 4 successivement prises dans leur ordre inverse.Finally, the high-voltage electrical disconnection disconnector device presented in the scope of the invention is also analogically adapted to allow electrical connection of the male and female contactors, for example by considering connection modes defined by the preceding Figures 1 to 4 successively taken in their reverse order.
