Definitions

  • the invention relates to a connection element for a moving contact of a vacuum interrupter and a gas-insulated switchgear with such a connection element.
  • Switchgear systems are known in the prior art that have vacuum interrupters for switching short-circuit currents. These vacuum interrupters and their switching contacts are designed to be able to switch off the high currents in the event of short-circuit currents. These short-circuit currents are in the high kiloampere range (>>1 kA). In principle, the geometry of the switching contacts required for this has a comparatively high contact resistance when the vacuum interrupter is closed. During operation of the switchgear, i.e.
  • this high contact resistance leads to a high power loss occurring, especially in the area of the vacuum interrupter, due to the contact resistance when a rated current is flowing, which in the area of the vacuum interrupter leads to increased temperatures and thus leads to increased temperatures in the entire system.
  • predetermined temperature limits must be observed, ie not exceeded, which means that additional measures for cooling the switchgear, in particular the vacuum interrupters and their adjacent components, are required in many cases.
  • the EP2161729A2 discloses a vacuum switch with a vacuum interrupter, wherein the moving contact of the vacuum interrupter is accommodated in a holder and the holder is movably connected to an electrical connection block with a flexible conductor strap.
  • WO2006040243A1 discloses a clamping device for vacuum interrupters, the clamping device having heat sinks and the clamping device being connected to an electrical connection block via flexible conductor straps.
  • the object of the invention is now to remedy the disadvantages of the prior art.
  • connection element for a moving contact of a vacuum interrupter with a connection body and a flexible current-conducting element
  • the connection element having at least one outer body and the connection body having a flexible, heat-conducting element Connector is connected to the at least one outer body, wherein the outer body partially or completely surrounds the flexible power line element. This not only enables better heat dissipation, but also mechanically protects the flexible current-carrying element.
  • the heat dissipation is achieved through the use of the outer body, which is at least thermally conductively connected to the connection body. This additional heat dissipation, preferably in the area of the connection between the connection body and the flexible current-conducting element, allows for a more compact design.
  • connection body has one or more heat sinks.
  • the heat sink or heat sinks allow further increased heat dissipation from the switching system, in particular away from the vacuum switch and its electrical connection points.
  • the cooling body or cooling bodies have cooling ribs, which preferably run parallel to the longitudinal axis of a receiving opening for the moving contact of a vacuum interrupter of the connection body.
  • the receiving opening can be provided with a fastening mechanism, so that the moving contact can be firmly connected to the connection body.
  • the moving contact of the vacuum interrupter is clamped in the receiving opening.
  • the connection body is particularly preferably designed in two parts or is slotted.
  • cooling fins on the or the heat sinks in the assembled state parallel to the force of gravity, i.e. vertically, and thus optimal convection along the heat sink is achieved.
  • the heat sink or heat sinks are not, or are partially or completely, surrounded by the outer body.
  • the heat sink or heat sinks are not, or are partially or completely, surrounded by the outer body.
  • either improved convection in the area of the heatsinks is achieved if they are not enclosed, or a compromise between absorption of thermal radiation convection at the heatsinks with partially enclosed heatsinks is achieved, or improved absorption of thermal radiation is achieved with fully enclosed heatsinks .
  • the heat sink or heat sinks are painted in such a way that the heat sink or heat sinks have an increased surface area compared to the purely geometric shape and/or increased heat radiation compared to an unpainted surface.
  • the coating increases the surface area by at least a factor of 5, preferably by a factor of at least 10, particularly preferably by a factor of at least 100.
  • the outer body is formed by a cage made of heat-conducting material.
  • a cage made of heat-conducting material.
  • the flexible, heat-conducting connecting piece is designed to be electrically insulating.
  • the thermally conductive connecting piece is designed to be conductive and the flexible, thermally conductive connecting piece can be conductively connected to a main current path of the connection element via the outer body.
  • the outer body is on the one hand with the connector body electrically conductive and thermally conductive and on the other hand electrically conductively and thermally conductively connected to the main current path, so that the rated current can be divided and heating at the contact points can be reduced. At the same time, improved heat dissipation via the outer body is possible.
  • the outer body can be connected to a main current path of the connection element via a further current-conducting, flexible, heat-conducting connecting piece.
  • the flexible, heat-conducting connecting piece and/or the flexible current-conducting element has fanning out on the sides, which increase the surface area and contribute to, or cause, increased heat dissipation.
  • Another embodiment relates to a gas-insulated switchgear with at least one vacuum interrupter, wherein a moving contact of the vacuum interrupter is contacted with a connection element according to one or more of the above statements.
  • the insulating gas has one or more of the following gases: SF6 and/or one or more fluoroketones and/or one or more nitriles, in particular fluorinated nitriles and/or nitrogen and/or carbon dioxide and/or oxygen and/or dry air and/or one or more olefins and/or one or more oxiranes, in particular fluorinated oxiranes.
  • gases SF6 and/or one or more fluoroketones and/or one or more nitriles, in particular fluorinated nitriles and/or nitrogen and/or carbon dioxide and/or oxygen and/or dry air and/or one or more olefins and/or one or more oxiranes, in particular fluorinated oxiranes.
  • the thermally conductive connecting piece is designed to be conductive and the flexible, thermally conductive connecting piece can be conductively connected to a main current path of the connection element via the outer body.
  • the outer body is on the one hand with the connector body electrically conductive and thermally conductive and on the other hand electrically conductively and thermally conductively connected to the main current path, so that the rated current can be divided and heating at the contact points can be reduced. At the same time, improved heat dissipation via the outer body is possible.
  • the outer body can be connected to a main current path of the connection element via a further current-conducting, flexible, heat-conducting connecting piece.
  • the additional electrically conductive, flexible, thermally conductive connecting piece is arranged in the area of a thermally conductive ceramic bushing, so that heat can also be dissipated via the ceramic of the ceramic bushing.
  • the figure 1 shows a schematic representation of a connection element 1, which has a flexible power line element 10, which can be connected to a main current path of a switchgear.
  • the flexible power line element 10 is electrically conductively connected to the connection body 40 .
  • the connection body 40 has a receptacle 42 (not shown) for a moving contact of a vacuum interrupter.
  • the connection element 1 has a flexible, thermally conductive connection piece 30 which thermally conductively connects the connection body 40 or the flexible line element 10 connected to the connection body 40 to an outer body 50 .
  • connection element 1 in the example of figure 1 via a heat sink 20 which is thermally conductively connected to the connection body 40 and has cooling ribs 52 here which run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the receiving opening 42 . Since the receiving opening 42 at the in figure 1 is arranged unrecognizable underside of the connecting element 1, the receiving opening 42 is indicated by a dashed line.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flexible power line element that is made up of several layers 12 of an electrically conductive, flexible material.
  • the conductive, flexible material is preferably copper, aluminum, stainless steel, a conductive plastic and/or a combination, in particular an alloy, of the conductive, flexible materials mentioned.
  • the figure 3 shows a section of a flexible power line element 10, in which the individual layers that form the flexible power line element are fanned out towards the edge.
  • the fanning out leads to improved heat dissipation, both through improved heat radiation and through heat emission to the insulating gas flowing past the flexible power line element 10 by convection.
