Definitions

  • each pole unit is provided with a plurality of pairs of cooperating relatively movable contacts adapted to form multibreaks upon separation thereof.
  • circuit breakers of this type operation of the pairs of relatively movable contacts is preferably elfected by fluid under pressure, e.g. air under pressure, and in circuit breakers of this type the series arcs formed upon separation of pairs of cooperating contacts may be extinguished by blasts of air.
  • circuit breakers having serially related multibreak-forming contact means in each pole thereof, and having pressure-responsive operating means for said contact means closing said contact means upon a reduction in pressure, wherein accidental closing of the circuit as a result of a defect in the compressed uid operating system is positively precluded.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a circuit breaker operating system wherein accidental losses of fluid under pressure are localized, and thus precluded from causing a drop of pressure throughout the system which would result in a faulty operation of the circuit breaker.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a circuit breaker operating system comprising automatic valve means responsive to fluid leakage for selectively isolating defective portions of the system from the portions thereof which are intact.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a circuit breaker operating system having selective automatic leakage responsive valve means and having, in addition thereto, manually operable control means for causing opening of said valve means in spite of the prevalence of low pressure conditions normally causing automatic closing of the aforementioned valve means.
  • lt is another object of the invention to provide means resulting in selective closing of but a portion of the serially related contacts provided in a pole unit of a circuit breaker having a pneumatic operating system.

  • FIG. l reference numeral 1 has been applied to indicate three hollow insulating columns of which each supports two operating mechanism receiving cham-4 bers or cases 2 on the top portion thereof.
  • the parts accommodated in cases 2 are more fully shown in Fig. 2.
  • Each of the operating mechanisms housed in each of the chambers or cases 2 may comprise a uid motor of the cylinder-and-piston-type.
  • Each chamber or case 2 supports a hollow horizontal insulator 2a as shown in Fig. 3 and the contact operating mechanisms in the two cases on top of each column 1 are adapted to operate two pairs of relatively movable contacts forming two breaks in series upon separation thereof.
  • the pole structure illustrated comprises three insulating columns 1, two times three, i.e.
  • Each supporting insulator 1 is mounted upon a separate storage tank 3 for air under pressure.
  • Manifold 5 is connected to a source of fluid under pressure (not shown), such as a compressor system, and provided with three tap conduits 4, each connected to one of tanks 3.
  • Each conduit 4 is controlled by an automatic valve 6 adapted to be operated by motor means associated with it, eg. fluid motors 8.
  • Each fluid motor 8 comprises a piston 7 having a piston rod for operating one of valves 6 and a spring 7a biasing piston 7 downwardly, i.e. to the valve open position thereof.
  • Each piston 7 is provided with a stem 7b supporting a contact bridge for an auxiliary switch 13..'
  • Each auxiliary switch 13 controls the circuit of a signalling device A13a indicating whether valves 6 are in the open or closed position thereof.
  • Probe or venting conduits 9v connect the space of each cylinder of each fluid motor 8 situated above piston 7 to the lower end of each of the insulating columns 1.
  • Manifold 10 is adapted to supply to the space of each cylinder of each uid motor 8 situated below piston 7 fluid under pressure derived from manifold 5. To this end manifolds and are connected by a valve or cock 11.
  • Valve or cock 11 is a manually operable three-way-valve. Normally valve 11 is in the position shown, admitting air under pressure from manifold 5 to manifold 10.
  • manifold 5 By operation of valve 11 manifold 5 may be sealed off, and manifold 10 vented to atmosphere.
  • the circuit breaker may be provided with a pneumatic control system for effecting manual opening and closing and for automatic tripping thereof.
  • the air under pressure required for such a control system is taken from the right end of manifold 10, indicated by reference numeral 12.
  • Reference numeral 14 has been applied to indicate a pressurel relief valve, and reference numeral 15 has been applied to indicate a pressure gage both connected to manifold 5.
  • FIG. 2 the structure shown therein is prior art disclosed in British Patent 713,798 and ULS. Patent 2,724,757.
  • the insulating column 1v supports two chambers 2v made of metal, one arranged in front and one arranged on the rear of column 1. Chambers 2 are connected in series. As shown in Fig. 3 the left side of the front chamber 2 and the right side of the rear chamber 2 are provided with bushings 2a through which connector studs 2d extend into the inside of chambers 2.
  • the axially inner ends of studs 2d support fixed contacts 16 adapted to cooperate with movable tubular contacts 17.
  • Each movable contact 17 supports a piston 18 biased by a helical spring 19 tending to move the contact to the closed position thereof, i.e.
  • Blast valve 20 is adapted to be operated by a fluid motor comprising cylinder 31 and piston 21 under the bias of helical spring 22 tending to move blast valve 21B to the closed position thereof.
  • Numeral 23 has been applied to indicate an orlce in housing 2 through which air under pressure forming an arc-extinguishing blast may escape upon separation of contacts 16, 17 and opening of blast valve 20.
  • Piston 21 may be operated by air under pressure admitted to it through control conduit 24 which may be connected to manifold 12 (see Fig. 1) by means of a trip and venting valve (not shown).
  • the space 25 to the right of piston 18 is connected by duct 26 to a dual position valve 27 operable by means of rod 29. In the position of valve 27 and rod 29 shown in Fig.
  • valve 27 connects duct 26 with pipe line 28 and, therefore, the pressure in the above-mentioned space 25 is equal to the pressure in that part of chamber 2 adjacent contacts 16, 17, i.e. that part of chamber 2 which is separated from the other part by the cylinder structure inside of which piston 18 operates.
  • the tap-like movable valve element thereof closes a venting port provided in the housing of valve 27.
  • Rod 29 is under the control of a pressure responsive element 30 causing the rod to move from right to left if there is pressure in pipe lines 24 and 24a.
  • An adjustable needle valve 32 connects pipe line 24a with that portion of cylinder 31 situated to the left of piston 21. Needle valve 32 thus controls the flow of air under pressure from pipe lines 24, 24a to the left end of cylinder 31.
  • Numeral 33 has been applied to indicate a check valve for venting the part of cylinder 31 situated to the left of piston 21 when the pressure in control pipe line 24 drops incdent to a closing operation of the circuit breaker pole unit.
  • Closing of the circuit breaker pole unit is effected by p venting pipe line 24 to atmosphere. This results in moving control rod 29 from left to the right position shown in Fig. 2, whereby air under pressure is admitted to space Z5 through pipe line 28, valve 27 and duct 26. As a result, piston 18 and movable contact 17 are moved from right to left, i.e. to the closed position shown in Fig. 2.
  • my invention comprises pressure-responsive means including a'valve to selectively sever the faulty portion of a pneumatic circuit breaker operating system from the sound portion thereof.
  • the probe conduit 9 may be connected to any point where a drop'in pressure will occur as a result of loss of uid under pressure.
  • Probe conduit 9 might be connected directly to chamber 2, or to tank 3.
  • To connect probe conduit 9 to the bottom of column 1 is preferable since this is the point at ground potential closest to chamber 2.
  • the selectivity which I have achieved is predicated on associating a plurality of separate systems of iluid under pressure with each pole unit of the circuit breaker, each of said plurality of separate systems of tluid under pressure comprising a separate storage tank 3.
  • While this invention is not limited to air blast circuit breakers, it is preferably embodied in circut breakers of that type. To establsh an arc extinguishing air blast air under pressure is supplied directly from the top of hollow columns 1 to the space in chambers or cases 2 where cooperating contacts 16, 17 are arranged.
