Definitions

  • This invention relates, in general, to electrical loadbreak apparatus and, more specifically, to electrical load-break apparatus having arc-quenching means.
  • load-break devices are used in various applications to disconnect electrical power from energized apparatus such as power transformers. Although load-break devices are capable of interrupting electrical current having a large magnitude, desirable loadbreak devices must also disconnect the electrical apparatus when power is not being transferred through the load-break device, that is under no-load conditions. It is also desirable in many applications that the loadbreak device contain means forlimiting the amount of current which may flow therethrough. Generally, current limiting is accomplished by a current limiting fuse which is part of the load-break device.
  • load-break devices are presently being used.
  • One type of load-break device is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,628,092, whichis assigned to the same ,assignee as this invention.
  • the load-break device described therein is suitable for use with 95 KV BIL circuits.
  • Another type of load-break device is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,732,517, whichis also assigned to the same assignee as this invention.
  • the are snuffing arrangements described therein permit the use of the load-break device with 125 KV BIL circuits.
  • the current path provided by the load-break device travels through a probe and a probe receiver which includes a contact structure.
  • An arc-quenching sleeve is disposed around the probe with resilient means positioned to slide the arc-quenching sleeve along the probe when the probe is withdrawn from the contact structure to disconnect or break the load.

Terminal lugs 36 and 38 are attached to the upper and lower casing contacts 30 and 34, respectively, for providing means for connecting the load-break device to its associated electrical circuits.
  • the upper fuse casing portion 18 and the lower fuse casing portion 32 are normally constructed of an insulating material.
  • the upper casing contact 30 and the lower casing contact 34 are normally constructed of a conducting material suitably attached to the insulating casing portions 18 and 32.
  • the removable fuse assembly 24 includes an insulated shaft member 40 which is mechanically connected to the upper end of the current limiting fuse 42.
  • the sliding contact 44 electrically connects the upper end 46 of the current limiting fuse 42 to the upper casing contact 30 when the removable fuse assembly 24 is locked in the position illustrated in FIG. 1, which is the load-make position.
  • a probe 48 is attached to the lower end 50 of the current limiting fuse 42. The probe 48 and the probe receiver 52 complete the electrical path between the circuit terminal lugs 36 and 38.
  • current entering lug 36 travels through the upper casing contact 30, the sliding contact 44, the upper current limiting fuse end 46, the fusible element which is not illustrated, the lower current limiting fuse end 50, the probe 48, the probe receiver 52, the lower casing contact 34, the circuit terminal lug 38, and then to the electrical circuit associated therewith.

  • the probe 48 also includes a lower portion 56 which is constructed of a suitable electrically insulating material and which is attached to the end 82 of the probe portion 54.
  • a suitable insulating material for the probe portion 56 would be methyl methacrylate with a percent glass filler.
  • the probe 48 is longitudinally shaped, that is having a length dimension substantially greater than its width or depth dimensions. Although other tubular shapes'rnay be used, the probe 48 is normally cylindrically shaped with the lower end 60 of the probe portion 56 tapered to facilitate insertion into the probe receiver 52.
  • the probe receiver 52 includes a finger contact structure 62 which has springs 64 positioned thereon to maintain contact pressure between the finger contact structure 62 and the conducting probe portion 54.
  • the finger contact structure 62 is threadably engaged with the boss projection 66 from the lower casing terminal '34.
  • the finger contact structure 62 has dimensions which allow the probe 48 to readily engage with the finger contact structure 62 when the fuse assembly 24 is inserted into the fuse casing 26.
  • An arc-quenching sleeve68 is positioned around the probe 48.
  • the arc-quenching sleeve 68 is constructed of a suitable insulating material such as methyl methacrylate with a 20 percent glass filler.
  • the arc-quenching sleeve 68 includes a base portion 70 and tubular side portions 72 and 74 which extend from the base portion 70.
  • An opening 75 in the base portion 70 permits the penetration of the probe through the arc-quenching sleeve 68 and allows the arc-quenching sleeve 68 to slide along the probe 48.
  • the outer tubular guide member 76 is attached to the lower fuse end 50 and is constructed of an insulating material.
  • the projections 78 on the guide member 76 keep the probe 48 aligned with the probe receiver 52 when the removable fuse assembly 24 is being inserted into the fuse casing 26.
  • the guide member 76 also includes the projections 80 which limit or stop the sliding movement of the arcquenching sleeve 68 along the probe 48.
  • the guide member 76 defines the space in which the arcquenching sleeve 68 slides and, along with the side portions 72 and 74, guide the arc-quenching sleeve 68 through the space defined by the guide member 76 and the probe 48.
  • the probe receiver 52 and the probe 48 become disengaged. While being disengaged under load, an are usually strikes between the conducting portion 54 of the probe 48 and the contact structure 62. The are strikes as the end 82 of the conducting portion 54 leaves the top of the contact structure 62. As the probe 48 is disengaged from the probe receiver 52, the arc-quenching sleeve slides along the probe 48 and remains seated substantially on the top of the contact structure 62 due to the force from the spring 84. Thus, the insulated portion 56 of the probe 48 is drawn through the arc-quenching sleeve 68.
  • the arc in order for the arc to persist, it must traverse a path between the insulated portion 56 and the arc-quenching sleeve 68.
  • the dimensions of the probe 48 and the arcquenching sleeve 68 are selected to provide a relatively tight fit between the arc-quenching sleeve 68 and the probe 48. However, the fit is sufficiently loose to permit satisfactory sliding of the arc-quenching sleeve 68 along the probe 48.
  • the material of the sleeve 68 contains arc-extinguishing properties which alsoaid in quenching the arc.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the load-break device in the disengaged position.
  • the arc-quenching sleeve 68 is positioned substantially between the conducting portion 54 of the probe 48 and the contact structure 62. Therefore, the path therebetween is effectively blocked, thus any arcing is quenched.
  • gases generated by an arc before it is quenched by the sliding sleeve 68 are confined to the region containing the spring 84 and thus help slide the sleeve 68 to quench the arc. Therefore, as the intensity of the arc increases, the slide producing force acting on the arcquenching sleeve 68 is increased.
  • the projections 80 from the guide member 76 limit the movement of' the arc-quenching sleeve 68 and prevent ejection of the arc-quenching sleeve 68 from the removable fuse assembly 24 when withdrawn from the fuse casing 26.
  • the probe 48, the arc-quenching sleeve 68, and the probe receiver 52 may be interchanged, that is, the probe receiver would be attached to the fuse 42, andthe probe 48 with the arc-quenching sleeve 68 therearound would be attached to the lower casing contact 34. 7
  • FIG. 4 illustrates another embodiment of this invention.
  • the probe 48 is attached to the lower casing contact 34 by the stud 86.
  • the probe receiver 52 is attached to the lower fuse end 50 by the stud 88 and by the support member 90.
  • the finger contact 62 and the probe 48 are dimensioned similarly to the same components in FIGS. 1, 2 and 3, and are also constructed of materials as herebefore described.
  • the arc-quenching sleeve 92 is constructed of an electrically insulating material such as methyl methacrylate with a 20 percent glass filler.
  • the arc-quenching sleeve 92 includes a base portion 94 with an opening 96 therein through which the probe 48 extends.
  • Tubular side portions 98 and 100 extend axially from the base portion 94 and aid in guiding the arc-quenching sleeve 92along the probe 48.
  • the strap 102 is attached to the arc-quenching sleeve 92 and to the lower casing contact 34 to limit the distance the arc-quenching sleeve 92 can slide along the probe 48.
  • the base portion 94 of the arc-quenching sleeve 92 is positioned substantially even with the tapered end 60 of the insulated probe portion 56. In this position, the tubular side portion 98 blocks the arc path between the contact structure 62 and the conducting portion 54, thus the arc is quenched.
  • Bypass grooves 104 on the outside of the conducting portion 54 of the probe 48 allow are generated gases to flow into the region occupied by the spring 106 to aid the sliding force provided by the spring 106.
  • the spring 106 is shown in FIG. 4 in a compressed state. It is also within the contemplation of this invention that, in all of the embodiments disclosed herein, the insulated probe portion, such as the probe portion 56, may be con structed of a member having an insulating layer or coating disposed thereon.

  • the body of the removable connector asssembly 122 is constructed of an elastomeric material.
  • the detent 128 locks the removable connector assembly 122 to the body member 108 when the connector is engaged to provide a current path.
  • a cable connecting member 130 is contained within the body of the removable connector assembly 122 and provides means for electrically connecting a conducting cable to the probe receiver 131.
  • the finger contact structure 132 is attached to the cable connecting member 130 by the stud 134.
  • the probe 136 includes an insulating portion 138 and a conducting portion 140 which are joined together at the junction 142.

While disengaging, the arc-quenching sleeve 148 slides across the junction 142 and blocks the path of any arc occurring between the conducting portion 140 and the finger contact structure 132. The inside wall of the tubular opening 110 moved. Thus, accidental contact with a potential on the conducting portion 140 is substantially eliminated.
