In general, there are the power type, which uses mechanical compression force, the external force type, such as the dual pressure type equipped with a storage tank for high-pressure arc extinguishing fluid, and the self-acting type, which uses the pressure generated by the arc itself. In the arc extinguisher, the arc is extinguished by the arc extinguishing action produced by the flow of the arc extinguishing fluid near the current zero point. The strength of this arc-extinguishing effect is greatly influenced by the density, temperature, and velocity of the flowing fluid, and the contact area between the flowing fluid and the arc. This increase in contact area leads to improved shear cutting performance.

Conventionally, in externally-powered and self-powered type breakers, little consideration was given to the contact area between the flowing fluid and the arc, so even though a strong flowing state was induced, the arc time was There were drawbacks such as elongation and, in some cases, a significant decrease in shearing performance.

FIG. 1 is an example of a conventional self-powered switch equipped with a hollow movable contact. In the figure, 1 is a fixed electrode, 2 is a hollow movable electrode, and 3 is an arc-extinguishing fluid flow port provided in the movable electrode 2. Reference numeral 5 denotes a housing forming an air storage tank for storing pressurized fluid due to the arc, and is generally made of an insulating material. 7 is the housing 5
This is an air storage tank space formed by a gas tank, which contains an arc-extinguishing fluid such as SF 6 gas. In such a configuration, when a tripping command is given to the operating mechanism (not shown), the movable electrode 2 connected to the operating mechanism
The opening operation is started by moving to the right.
During wiping, a current path is ensured by the contact between the fixed electrode 1 and the movable electrode 2, and when the wiping is finished, an arc 6 is generated between the fixed electrode 1 and the movable electrode 2. The energy generated by this arc is pressurized and stored in the air storage tank space 7, and is discharged to the outside through the communication port 3. At this time, the arc-extinguishing fluid 8 sprayed toward the movable electrode 2 cools the arc and extinguishes the arc when it reaches the current zero point. However, due to the structure of the electrode, the arc is located around the electrode. It's in the department. Therefore, at a large current with a large arc diameter, the arc-extinguishing fluid flow path is blocked and the pressure increases and accumulates, but at a small current, the arc-extinguishing fluid flow path is not blocked and the arc is extinguished because the arc diameter is small. Arc fluid is quickly discharged even if it is pressurized, so
The disadvantage was that sufficient pressure increase and accumulation was not carried out, resulting in a significant decrease in arc extinguishing performance.

An object of the present invention is to provide an arc breaker with high arc cutting performance that compensates for the above drawbacks by limiting the position of the arc on the electrode surface without blocking the flow path of the arc extinguishing fluid. That is. Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 2 is a sectional view showing a switch according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are cross-sectional views of various parts of FIG. 2. In the figure, 1 is a fixed electrode,
Reference numeral 2 denotes a tubular enclosure made of metal, which surrounds an arc electrode to be described later, forms a flow path around the electrode, and also serves as a movable electrode. Reference numeral 3 designates an arc-extinguishing fluid communication port bored in the enclosure 2. Reference numeral 4 indicates an arc electrode housed within the enclosure, and reference numeral 5 indicates a housing forming an air storage tank for storing pressurized fluid due to the arc 6, and is made of an insulator. 7 is an air storage tank space formed by the casing 5, with SF 6 inside.
It contains an arc-extinguishing fluid 8 such as gas. In such a configuration, when a tripping command is given to the operating mechanism (not shown), the operating mechanism starts operating, and the movable electrode/enveloping body 2 and the arc electrode 4 connected thereto become integral. , it starts moving to the right in the figure. During wiping, a current path is ensured by the contact between the fixed electrode 1 and the movable electrode 2, and when the wiping is finished, an arc 6 is generated between the fixed electrode 1 and the movable electrode 2. The arc 6 between the fixed electrode 1 and the movable electrode 2 is transferred to between the fixed electrode 1 and the arc electrode 4 under the influence of the flow of the arc-extinguishing fluid 8 discharged through the flow port 3. Therefore, since the flow path of the arc-extinguishing fluid 8 is formed around the rod-shaped arc electrode 4, the entire outer periphery of the portion of the arc occurring within the arc enclosure 2 is always covered by the flow of the arc-extinguishing fluid. As a result, the contact area between the arc-extinguishing fluid and the arc is greatly increased, and the arc-extinguishing ability is significantly improved. Furthermore, since a portion of the arc 6 is present in the flow path within the enclosure 2, the effective cross-sectional area of the flow path is reduced by the pressure generated by this arc. Therefore, the outflow of the arc-extinguishing fluid from the air storage tank space 7 is suppressed, the pressure increase and accumulation of the arc-extinguishing fluid is promoted, and the arc-extinguishing performance is improved. At this time, arcs with a diameter larger than the cross-sectional diameter of the flow channel do not transfer, and arcs with a smaller diameter do transfer, so the performance for small currents can be improved without deteriorating the conventional arc extinguishing performance for large currents. I can do it.

In the embodiments, an example in which an enclosure is applied to a self-powered movable electrode is described, but the same applies to a self-powered movable electrode. Furthermore, although the enclosure 2 is used also as a movable electrode, the same effect can be achieved even if it is used also as a fixed electrode.

As described above, since this invention forms a flow path for arc extinguishing fluid around the arc electrode, the relative positional relationship between the arc existing range and the fluid flow is limited, so the shearing performance is significantly improved. can be achieved.
