Definitions

  • the invention relates to the technological field of high voltage electrical circuit breaking devices.
  • metal-enclosed devices where the active switching members are enclosed in a sealed enclosure filled with an insulating fluid.
  • a fluid can be a gas, commonly sulfur hexafluoride (SF 6 ), but liquids or oils are also used.
  • This fluid is chosen for its insulating character, in particular so as to have a dielectric strength greater than that of dry air at equivalent pressure.
  • the devices in a metal enclosure can in particular be designed in a more compact way than the devices where the cutting and the insulation are carried out in the air.
  • a conventional disconnector comprises in particular two electrodes which are held, by insulating supports, in fixed positions remote from the peripheral wall of an enclosure which is at earth potential. These electrodes are electrically connected or electrically separated as a function of the position of a movable connection member forming part of one of the electrodes, for example a sliding tube actuated by a control.
  • the tube is generally carried by an electrode, to which it is electrically connected, and the separation of the tube from the opposite electrode is liable to create an electric arc which may lengthen during the opening movement of the disconnector during which the tube moves away from the opposite electrode.
  • a disconnector traditionally comprises two pairs of electrical contacts carried by the tube and the two electrodes. The first torque is that through which the nominal current flows in the fully closed position of the device.
  • This current path which we will call the nominal path, presents a path of least electrical resistance, thus reducing the conduction losses in permanent mode.
  • This contact torque is supported by a second called arcing contact or secondary contact torque.
  • the two contacts of this pair are intended to remain in direct contact during the separation of the first pair so as not to have an arcing phenomenon on the first and thus guarantee a good state of electrical conduction in fully closed position.
  • the contacts of the secondary couple separate last and see the electric arc set up. They must resist this wear and tear. Having reached a sufficient arc length, and after a sufficient time, the electric arc is interrupted.
  • a disconnect switch is usually located in an electrical substation. It is connected to the other elements of the substation, for example by connection bars. On each side of the disconnector, you can find other elements of a substation such as a circuit breaker, a power transformer, an overhead feedthrough, etc.
  • the opening can produce electric arcs capable of stretching to great lengths and this can pose certain problems. Too long an arc between the connection member and the opposite electrode can degenerate and develop into a short circuit. For example, in a disconnector of the type described above, an arc can be established between the live electrode and the wall of the enclosure connected to earth. In a less extreme case, the arc extinguishing times may be too long and damage the parts constituting it and thus jeopardize the insulation of the system.
  • an arc fractionation chamber is provided which is separate and offset from the zone in which the movable connection member moves.
  • An electric arc which would form for example when the circuit is opened is split into multiple arcs.
  • Such circuit breakers require that means be provided to cause the displacement of the arc from the zone of displacement of the movable member towards the fractionation chamber, for example by the use of a magnetic field, which can be created. by permanent magnets or induced by current flow in a magnetic circuit. In both cases this aspect is complex to manage and requires many back and forth movements during the design phases to manage to convey the arc into the fractionation chamber, because the behavior of the system is variable depending on the intensity of the currents to be switched.
  • this fractionation chamber constitutes an additional bulk.
  • this volume of the tank should also be insulated to the earth potential in order to guarantee the electrical insulation. This would have the consequence of leading to large tank sizes and to disadvantageous costs.

  • the device is a mechanical cut-off device insofar as the opening of the electrical circuit is obtained by the separation and spacing of two contact parts so as to interrupt the flow of a current through the device.
  • the closing of the electrical circuit is obtained by moving until the two contact parts come into contact so as to re-establish a current flow through the device.
