CONTACT POUR DISJONCTEURCONTACTOR FOR CIRCUIT BREAKER
La présente invention est relative à un contact électrique utilisable pour constituer le contact d'arc The present invention relates to an electrical contact usable to constitute the arcing contact
d'un disjoncteur à moyenne ou à haute tension. a medium or high voltage circuit breaker.
On sait que dans les disjoncteurs à auto-soufflage, la chaleur produite par l'arc qui s'établit à la séparation des contacts d'arc est utilisée pour échauffer le gaz d'un volume appelé volume de soufflage ou volume d'expansion Ce volume est délimité à une extrémité par une buse de soufflage; au passage par zéro du courant à couper, le gaz du volume de soufflage se détend à travers le col de la It is known that in self-blowing circuit breakers, the heat produced by the arc which is established at the separation of the arcing contacts is used to heat the gas by a volume called blowing volume or expansion volume Ce volume is defined at one end by a blowing nozzle; at the zero crossing of the current to be cut, the gas in the blowing volume expands through the neck of the
buse et souffle l'arc.nozzle and blow the arc.
On a observé que l'efficacité du soufflage, en particulier pour le soufflage de l'arc qui se produit lors de la coupure des courants de faible intensité (par exemple l'intensité correspondant à la valeur nominale du courant dans lequel le disjoncteur est inséré), n'est pas totale, car la montée en pression It has been observed that the efficiency of the blowing, in particular for the blowing of the arc which occurs during the breaking of low currents (for example the intensity corresponding to the nominal value of the current in which the circuit breaker is inserted ), is not total, because the rise in pressure
dans le volume de soufflage est insuffisante. in the blowing volume is insufficient.
Un but de la présente invention est d'améliorer le contact de manière à obtenir une plus grande pression dans le volume de soufflage en particulier An object of the present invention is to improve the contact so as to obtain a greater pressure in the blowing volume in particular
pour la coupure des courants de faible intensité. for breaking low currents.
Ce but est atteint par le contact de l'invention, utilisable comme contact d'arc mobile dans un disjoncteur à auto- soufflage comportant un volume de soufflage et une buse de soufflage, et qui est caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'un tube métallique à l'extrémité duquel est fixé un embout en This object is achieved by the contact of the invention, which can be used as a movable arcing contact in a self-blowing circuit breaker comprising a blowing volume and a blowing nozzle, and which is characterized in that it consists of a metal tube at the end of which is fixed a mouthpiece
matériau isolant.insulating material.
L'invention sera bien comprise à la description The invention will be clearly understood from the description
d'un exemple de réalisation en référence au dessin ci-annexé dans lequel: 2 - la figure 1 est une vue partielle en coupe axiale de la chambre de coupure d'un disjoncteur à auto-soufflage, représenté en position enclenchée, la figure 2 est une vue analogue après la séparation des contacts d'arc, mais avant la phase de soufflage de l'arc, la figure 3 est une vue analogue, au moment of an exemplary embodiment with reference to the appended drawing in which: 2 - Figure 1 is a partial view in axial section of the breaking chamber of a self-blowing circuit breaker, shown in the engaged position, Figure 2 is a similar view after the separation of the arcing contacts, but before the arc blowing phase, Figure 3 is a similar view, at the time
du soufflage de l'arc.of the arc blowing.
La chambre de coupure représentée partiellement en coupe axiale dans la figure 1 comprend une enveloppe étanche 1 (en porcelaine pour les disjoncteurs classiques, en métal pour les disjoncteurs dits à enveloppe métallique à la terre) remplie d'un gaz à bonnes propriétés diélectriques tel que l'hexafluorure de soufre sous une pression de The breaking chamber partially shown in axial section in FIG. 1 comprises a sealed casing 1 (made of porcelain for conventional circuit breakers, of metal for so-called metal grounded circuit breakers) filled with a gas with good dielectric properties such as sulfur hexafluoride under a pressure of
quelques bars.a few bars.
A l'intérieur de la chambre, on trouve un ensemble fixe comprenant un tube métallique 2 relié électriquement à une première prise de courant non représentée et portant un premier tube métallique 3 constituant le contact principal fixe, un second tube métallique 4 coaxial au premier et constituant le contact d'arc fixe, et une buse de soufflage isolante , par exemple en polytétrafluoro-ethylène (connu par exemple sous la marque déposée téflon) Le tube 4 est muni à son extrémité d'une partie 4 A en matériau résistant aux effets de l'arc, par exemple en carbure Inside the chamber, there is a fixed assembly comprising a metal tube 2 electrically connected to a first outlet not shown and carrying a first metal tube 3 constituting the fixed main contact, a second metal tube 4 coaxial with the first and constituting the fixed arcing contact, and an insulating blowing nozzle, for example made of polytetrafluoroethylene (known for example under the registered trademark teflon) The tube 4 is provided at its end with a part 4 A of material resistant to the effects arc, for example carbide
de tungstène.of tungsten.
Le volume 6 délimité par le tube 2 et la buse 5 The volume 6 delimited by the tube 2 and the nozzle 5
constitue le volume de soufflage du disjoncteur. constitutes the blowing volume of the circuit breaker.
Le tube 4 peut être, soit bouché à son extrémité intérieure (simple soufflage), soit ouvert The tube 4 can be either plugged at its inner end (simple blowing), or open
(double soufflage).(double blowing).
L'équipage mobile du disjoncteur comprend un tube métallique 8 relié électriquement par des contacts glissants non représentés à une seconde prise de 3 - courant Le tube est relié à une tringle de manoeuvre The moving part of the circuit breaker comprises a metal tube 8 electrically connected by sliding contacts, not shown, to a second outlet for 3 - current. The tube is connected to an operating rod.
isolante non représentée.insulation not shown.
Le tube 8 a une extrémité qui s'épanouit pour porter un tube de contact 9 constituant le contact d'arc mobile et des doigts de contact 10 formant le contact permanent mobile Le tube 9 est muni à son extrémité d'une partie 9 A en matériau résistant aux The tube 8 has one end which opens out to carry a contact tube 9 constituting the movable arcing contact and contact fingers 10 forming the movable permanent contact The tube 9 is provided at its end with a part 9 A in resistant material
effets de l'arc.arc effects.
Le tube 9 est muni à son extrémité d'un embout 12 en matériau isolant, qui se prolonge au-delà de la partie 9 A Cet embout est solidarisé au tube 9 par The tube 9 is provided at its end with a nozzle 12 made of insulating material, which extends beyond the part 9 A This nozzle is secured to the tube 9 by
vissage ou par sertissage.screwing or crimping.
Le matériau de l'embout est avantageusement du polytétrafluoro-éthylène Le choix de ce matériau est avantageux car il produit, lorsqu'il est échauffé par l'arc, des vapeurs fluorées qui favorisent la coupure de l'arc Ce matériau peut être chargé, par exemple par The material of the nozzle is advantageously polytetrafluoroethylene. The choice of this material is advantageous because it produces, when it is heated by the arc, fluorinated vapors which favor the breaking of the arc. This material can be charged, for example by
des fibres de verre ou par de la résine. fiberglass or resin.
Lorsque le disjoncteur est en position enclenchée, le courant passe par le tube 2, le contact When the circuit breaker is in the on position, current flows through tube 2, the contact
3, les doigts 10 et le tube 8.3, fingers 10 and tube 8.
Au déclenchement du disjoncteur, les contacts principaux 3 et 10 se séparent, et le courant passe par When the circuit breaker trips, the main contacts 3 and 10 separate, and current flows through
les contacts d'arc 4 et 9.arcing contacts 4 and 9.
A la séparation des contacts d'arc (figure 2), un arc 15 jaillit entre les contacts d'arc; le gaz duvolume 6 s'échauffe, ce qui fait augmenter la pression au sein de ce volume; grâce à l'embout 12, le volume 6 reste pratiquement fermé bien que l'extrémité 9 A du contact d'arc mobile 9 ait dépassé le col de la buse De la sorte, la pression dans le volume 6 continue à augmenter car le gaz de ce volume ne peut guère s'échapper à travers le faible passage annulaire Upon separation of the arcing contacts (Figure 2), an arc 15 arises between the arcing contacts; the volume 6 gas heats up, which increases the pressure within this volume; thanks to the nozzle 12, the volume 6 remains practically closed although the end 9 A of the movable arcing contact 9 has exceeded the neck of the nozzle. In this way, the pressure in the volume 6 continues to increase because the gas of this volume can hardly escape through the weak annular passage
existant entre l'embout 12 et le col de la buse. existing between the nozzle 12 and the neck of the nozzle.
Ce n'est que lorsque l'embout 12 dépasse le col de la buse (figure 3) que le volume 6 est ouvert et que 4 - le gaz de soufflage s'échappe à travers le col de la buse Il est possible de calculer la longueur de l'embout 12, en tenant compte de la vitesse de déplacement des contacts, pour obtenir, dans le volume 6, la surpression permettant d'assurer la coupure au It is only when the nozzle 12 exceeds the neck of the nozzle (FIG. 3) that the volume 6 is opened and that 4 - the blowing gas escapes through the neck of the nozzle. It is possible to calculate the length of the end piece 12, taking into account the speed of displacement of the contacts, in order to obtain, in volume 6, the overpressure making it possible to ensure cutting at
moment du passage par zéro du courant. moment of zero current crossing.
Grâce à l'invention, la coupure des courants de faible intensité (courant nominal par exemple, par opposition aux forts courants tels que les courants de court-circuit) est assurée, car l'effet de soufflage Thanks to the invention, the breaking of low intensity currents (nominal current for example, as opposed to high currents such as short-circuit currents) is ensured, because the blowing effect
est utilisé au maximum.is used to the maximum.
L'invention s'applique aux disjoncteurs à moyenne ou haute tension, de type conventionnel ou à The invention applies to medium or high voltage circuit breakers, of the conventional type or to
enveloppe métallique à la terre.metal shell to earth.
