Definitions

  • the invention relates to a disconnecting device for DC interruption of a current path, in particular for a circuit breaker, comprising a hybrid switch, which has a current-carrying mechanical contact system and a semiconductor switching system connected in parallel therewith.
  • the invention further relates to a circuit breaker with such a separation device.
  • a reliable separation of electrical components or devices of a circuit or circuit is desirable, for example, for installation, assembly or service purposes and in particular for general personal protection.
  • a corresponding switching unit or disconnecting device must therefore be able to make an interruption under load, ie without a previous shutdown of a voltage source supplying the circuit.
  • the electrical contacts of such a mechanical switch or contact system are often referred to as a stationary fixed contact and as opposed to it movable moving contact executed.
  • the moving contact is in this case movable relative to the fixed contact and can be transferred from a closed position to an open position. This means that, for switching the contact system or the switching unit, the moving contact between the open position and the closed position is moved by means of a switching movement.
  • the contacts of the contact system in the closed position typically form a very small point of contact at which the current flow through the contact system concentrates.
  • magnetic effects in particular the so-called “holmic clamping force”, which exert a force on the contacts which releases the contact between the moving and fixed contacts, occur during operation.
  • such a contact system generally has a spring element which presses the moving contact against the fixed contact with a spring force, that is to say acts upon an additional contact force or contact pressure directed along the closed position.
  • hybrid separation devices which have a hybrid switch.
  • a hybrid switch generally has a mechanical contact system and a semiconductor switching system connected in parallel therewith.
  • the semiconductor switching system in this case has at least one power semiconductor switch, which opens in a closed contact system, that is, electrically nonconductive, and which is at least temporarily connected in an electrically conductive manner when the contact system is opened.
  • the semiconductor switching system when switching on, the semiconductor switching system is first activated and after a short delay, when the current flow has stabilized, the contact system is closed. Subsequently, the semiconductor switching system is deactivated and the mechanical contact system takes over the entire current. The shutdown happens accordingly in reverse order. As a result, the electric current of the arc is conducted or commutated by the contacts of the contact system to the semiconductor switching system, whereby the arc between the switching contacts of the contact system is extinguished, or does not arise from the beginning.
  • the separation device has a fuse, which is arranged in series with the hybrid switch. The fuse ensures reliable protection of the system at currents above this current range.
  • one or more spring elements for generating the contact pressure are designed to be oversized, so that the contact force or the contact pressure at the Engekraft occurring a sufficient reserve, for example, also with respect to mechanical vibrations , having.
  • both the manufacturing costs and the required space requirement for the separating device are disadvantageously increased.
  • comparatively high powers are required for switching and holding the contact system.
  • the moving contact is designed as a (conductor) loop. In operation, the current flowing through the loop generates a magnetic field which causes a magnetic force to assist in the contact force. This makes it possible to compensate for the tightness. The effect is independent of the current flow direction.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a particularly suitable Trennvor- direction for DC interruption of a current path.
  • the inven tion is still the object of specifying a circuit breaker with a corresponding separator.
  • the separating device according to the invention is suitable for the DC interruption of a current path, in particular for a circuit breaker connected in the current circuit breaker, and set up.
  • the particular hybrid separator has a hybrid switch for DC interruption of the current path.
  • the hybrid switch has a switchable mechanical contact system.
  • a "mechanical contact system” is to be understood below as meaning both a purely mechanical and an electromechanical contact system.
  • Switchching is understood here and below as meaning in particular a mechanical or galvanic contact separation ("opening") and / or a contact closure ("closing") of the contact system.
  • the contact patch of the contact system is connected in parallel with a semiconductor switching system of the hybrid switch.
  • the hybrid switch has a parallel connection of the contact system and the semiconductor switching system.

  • the moving contact is supported by a current-carrying contact bridge (switching arm).
  • the contact bridge is in this case made of a copper material, for example.
  • the contact bridge is coupled to a drive system which moves the contact bridge - and thus the moving contact - from an open position into a closed position which bears against the fixed contact with a contact force.
  • the moving contact is acted upon by the drive system with a contact pressure or contact pressure, which ensures a secure contact of the contacts.
  • the drive system is preferably designed with a spring element, wherein the contact force (closing force) is effected as a bias or as a restoring force of the spring element.

  • a magnetic force tensile force
  • Both the constraining force and the induced magnetic force increase in proportion to the square of the current flowing through the contact system. This means that in the case of an overcurrent or fault current, both the clamping force and the magnetic force increase in the same way, so that the magnetic force is always sufficiently dimensioned by the magnetic elements in order to compensate the confining force.
  • a reliable and reliable installation of the contacts is always ensured.
  • unwanted lifting of the contacts is advantageously and easily counteracted even in the event of a fault or overcurrent.
  • a particularly suitable separation device for DC interruption of a current path is realized.
  • the additional magnetic force for the contact pressure is generated only when it is needed to reliably press the moving contact against the fixed contact.
  • it is thus not necessary to provide a higher-dimensioned contact pressure spring of the drive system which reduces the Fier thoroughlyslude and the space requirement of Trennvor- direction.
  • comparatively low tightening and flat energies or powers when switching the contact system or the hybrid switch are therefore necessary. Due to the reduced holding energy, the heat development of the drive system is reduced, whereby a particularly space-compact drive system can be used.
  • the mechanical contact system is part of a hybrid switch, occurs during a switching, especially when opening the contacts, no (switching) arc.
  • effects due to contact erosion can be essentially neglected, as a result of which the tuning of the magnetic elements through the air gap can be set or predetermined particularly effectively.
  • the separating device thus has substantially no change at least with regard to the force effect of the magnetic elements over their service life.
  • the stationary second magnetic element is preferably not part of the hybrid switch, in particular not part of the movable contact system.

  • the air gap has, for example, a clear width of about 0.3 mm (millimeters) to 1 mm.
  • the air gap in particular has a clear width of about 0.5 mm.
  • the current-carrying contact bridge is thus used itself to generate a magnetic field assisting the drive system.

  • the contact system of the separating device according to the invention requires no additional permanent magnets for generating the supporting tensile or closing force (magnetic force), whereby the separating device is particularly cost-effective.
  • the function is independent of the Current flow direction, so that the contact system and thus the separation device is essentially used bidirectionally.
  • the pulling action of the magnetic elements according to the invention enables an optimized current conduction by means of the contact bridge in comparison to the repulsion of a loop-shaped contact bridge (conductor loop).
  • This allows a very space-compact design of the separation device.

  • a soft-magnetic material or material is to be understood here in particular as meaning a ferromagnetic material which is easily magnetized in the presence of a magnetic field.
  • This magnetic polarization is generated in particular by the electrical current in the current-carrying contact bridge. The polarization increases the magnetic flux density in the respective magnetic element many times over. This means that a soft magnetic material "strengthens" an external magnetic field around its respective material permeability. Thereby ensures that the highest possible magnetic force between the magnetic elements is generated, so that the tightening force is always reliably compensated.

  • two stationary magnetic elements 40 'are provided, which are fixed to the housing on an insulating, ie electrically non-conductive, housing 48 of the circuit breaker 8.
  • the magnetic elements 40 'are formed in cross section as horseshoe or U-shaped magnetic yokes, which extend at least in sections along the leg longitudinal direction of the U-legs 26'a, 46'.
  • the magnetic yokes 40 'are thus designed essentially as cylindrical molded parts with a horseshoe or U-shaped base or cross-sectional area.
  • the magnetic elements 40 'each have a in the closed position parallel to the U-legs 26'a, 46' oriented horizontal U-legs 40a 'on.
  • At the back-like U-legs 40a 'of the magnetic yoke 40' are two vertical U-legs 40'b molded.
  • the U-legs 40'b of the magnetic yoke 40 ' engage around - as can be seen in FIG. 9 - in the closed position, at least in sections, the respectively opposite vertical U-limb 26'a of the contact bridge 26', so that between the free ends of the U-legs 26'a and the respective anchor plate 38 'of the air gap 42 is formed.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un dispositif séparateur (14) pour l'interruption de courant continu d'un chemin de courant (2), en particulier pour un disjoncteur (8), comportant un commutateur hybride (16), lequel comporte un système de contact (18, 18') mécanique conducteur de courant et un système commutateur semi-conducteur (20) connecté en parallèle à celui-ci, le système de contact (18, 18') comportant au moins un contact fixe (22a, 22b) stationnaire et au moins un contact mobile (24a, 24b), le contact mobile (24a, 24b) étant agencé au niveau d'un pont de contact (26, 26') conducteur de courant couplé à un système d'entraînement (28, 28'), lequel déplace le contact mobile (24a, 24b) lors d'un déplacement de commutation d'une position ouverte à une position fermée tangente au contact fixe (22a, 22b) avec une force de contact (Fk), et au moins un premier élément magnétique (38, 38') étant agencé au niveau du pont de contact (26, 26'), lequel élément est écarté d'un deuxième élément magnétique (40, 40') stationnaire au moyen d'un entrefer (42) de telle sorte que, sous l'effet d'un flux de courant à travers le pont de contact (26, 26'), un champ magnétique (B) est induit dans le premier élément magnétique (38, 38') et qu'une attraction magnétique des premier et deuxième éléments magnétiques (38, 38', 40, 40') se produit, l'attraction induisant une force magnétique (Fm) étant orientée dans le même sens que la force de contact (Fk).
