Definitions

  • the present invention relates to DC high-speed circuit breakers for use as, for example, protection circuit breakers and the like for railway substations and, more particularly, relates to an arc chute structure.
  • DC direct current
  • a direct current (DC) high-speed circuit breaker as a protection circuit breaker for a railway substation.
  • DC high-speed circuit breaker an arc generated between arc contacts during current interruption is made to commutate to an arc runner arranged at an upper portion of the arc contacts; the arc is led and remained to iron plates referred to as grids arranged at an upper portion of an arc chute in a short time by making the arc travel on the arc runner; and a higher arc voltage than a power source voltage is generated by an electrode drop due to an increase in arc resistance by arc extension and due to dividing by the grids and a fault current is limited; whereby interruption needs to be performed by forcibly creating a current zero point.
  • an extremely high temperature arc melts the peripheral arc contacts and the arc runner and generates a highly conductive arc gas.
  • the arc has a property that is easily short-circuited at a highly conductive place; and accordingly, if the arc gas is remained or flows in between main contacts, the arc led to the grids causes a reignition of arc which regenerate s an arc between the main contacts. If the reignition of arc occurs, the arc voltage increased to equal to or higher than the power source voltage is rapidly dropped to near 100 V; and accordingly, the current-limiting is interrupted and interruption performance is deteriorated. Furthermore, at worst, the arc is continuously short-circuited between the contacts and an interruption failure is likely to be made.
  • the arc gas is made to move smoothly from the contact to the grids to discharge efficiently from an opening portion at the upper portion of the arc chute, and the arc needs to be remained by the grids.
  • the DC high-speed circuit breaker needs to have performance that can interrupt a small current.
  • electromagnetic force that is for driving and elongating the arc is weak in a small current region and the arc does not travel to the end of an arcing horn, the interruption cannot be made unless the electromagnetic force is enhanced or the arc voltage has to be raised within a limited travel region.
  • the DC high-speed circuit breaker needs to have performance that can interrupt a wide current region from a large current to the small current.
  • Patent Document 1 JP-U H6 (1994)-060944 ) as the conventional DC high-speed circuit breaker.
  • a passing through groove 17 is provided at a position of each side plate 131, 132, the position being lower than the arcing horn AH; a barrier insulation plate 18 is attachably/detachably provided through the passing through groove 17; an arc is prevented from being blown-out downward to prevent the arc from causing a ground fault to lower devices of the arc chute AS; and pressure between the arcing horn AH and the insulation plate 18 is enhanced to improve the interruption performance.
  • Patent Document 1 JP-U H6(1994)-060944
  • the aforementioned conventional DC high-speed circuit breaker needs to make the arc gas smoothly move from the contact to the grids and efficiently discharge from an opening portion of an upper portion of the arc chute.
  • the sectional area of the opening portion through which the arc gas is carried needs to be gradually enlarged as the arc gas moves to the upper portion of the arc chute.
  • the conventional arc chute is constant in thickness from the lower portion to the upper portion and the sectional area of the opening portion is decreased if the grids are arranged; and accordingly, the arc gas is difficult to flow to the upper portion of the arc chute. Furthermore, since the opening area of the upper portion of the arc chute is also small, a problem exists in that the arc gas is reversely entered from the grid portion to the contact portion to cause a reignition of arc in the large current region.
  • an arc voltage when the arc gas reaches the grid portion has to be maintained constant until the interruption is completed.
  • the number of plates of the grid and the length of the arc serve as elements for deciding the arc voltage and the arc voltage can be adjusted by the number of plates of the grid.
  • a pole plate needs to be arranged on the lateral surface of the arc chute to improve performance of small current interruption.
  • the present invention has been made to solve the above described problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a DC high-speed circuit breaker in which an arc voltage is maintained constant by preventing a reignition of arc between contacts and a bridging at an upper portion of an arc chute and a high interruption performance can be obtained even from a large current to a small current.

  • the arc or the arc gas also does not directly come into contact with the first magnetic pole plate 127 and the second magnetic pole plate 130 without damaging effects of the magnetic pole plates that improve the electromagnetic force to be exerted on the arc, the arc gas is prevented from being short-circuited via the first magnetic pole plate 127 and the second magnetic pole plate 130 and an interruption failure can be prevented, and the interruption can be reliably performed from a small current to a large current.
  • FIG. 18A is a front view and FIG. 18B is a side view, which show U-shaped grids in a DC high-speed circuit breaker according to Embodiment 6 of the present invention.
  • connection can be made by using a bolt 146, a nut 147, or a rivet; and alternatively, the connection can be made by welding 148.
  • FIG. 19A is a front view and FIG. 19B is a side view, which show magnetic pole plates in a DC high-speed circuit breaker according to Embodiment 7 of the present invention.
  • each of a first magnetic pole plate 127 and a second magnetic pole plate 130 is not made of one sheet of plate, but even when thin magnetic pole plates 149a, 149b are laminated with adhering closely into an assembly 150a, 150b, respectively, the function of the first magnetic pole plate 127 and the second magnetic pole plate 130 can be satisfied.
  • the present invention can freely combine the respective embodiments and appropriately modify and/or omit the respective embodiments, within the scope of the present invention.
  • the present invention is suitable for achieving a DC high-speed circuit breaker in which arc gas is made to easily flow to an upper portion of an arc chute, air discharge performance of the arc gas is improved, a reignition of arc between contacts can be suppressed, and a high interruption performance can be obtained.
