Abstract

476,368. High - tension switches. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. May 7, 1937, No. 13107. Convention date, May 16, 1936. [Class 38 (v)] The inner wall of an arc-extinguishing tube for electric switches consists of oxalic acid, with or without the addition of an oxidizing agent, e.g. a per-salt or organic peroxide. The oxalic acid may be used, with or without additions, in powder form, and is moulded and pressed hard with the aid of a binding agent, which may consist of a highly oxidized oil, e.g. linseed oil or wood oil, a pre-polymerized artificial resin, preferably a resin derived from urea, or an inorganic material, e.g. plaster of Paris or clay. The oxalic acid material may be encased in a reinforcing substance, e.g. hard paper or hard linen. When exposed to an arc, the oxalic acid is decomposed, with evolution of carbon dioxide, which quenches the arc. Specification 467,496 is referred to.
