Definitions

  • the present invention relates to power circuit breakers and, more particularly, to vacuum power circuit breakers, and arc-shield arrangements therein.
  • Vacuum power circuit breakers are principally used for polyphase medium-voltage power distribution purposes and generally comprise vacuum-bulb power interrupter units which are respectively allocated to individual phases of the current to be cut off.
  • Each of the vacuum-bulb power interrupter units has a vacuum bulb which is composed of a generally cylindrical insulating envelope usually of glass or ceramics and a pair of metal end plates which are connected to longitudinal ends of the insulating envelope through metal-toinsulation seal elements.
  • Stationary and movable electrode rods axially project into the vacuum bulb through the metal end plates and carry electrical contact elements at their respective leading ends which are located in the neighborhood of an axial center of the vacuum bulb.
  • the electrical contact elements carried on the two electrode rods are brought into contact with each other so that electrical connection is established between the electrode rods.
  • the electrical contact elements on the two electrode rods are spaced apart from each other, forming an arcing region between the contact elements. An arc plasma is consequently produced in the arcing region with metal vapor emitted from the cathode electrode.
  • the ions and metal particles forming the arc plasma are rapidly dispersed around the arcing region and disappear as the arc plasma is weakened in the vicinity of a current zero point so that high vacuum is restored in the arcing region, and accordingly the flow of current through the arcing region is interrupted.
  • the vacuum-bulb power interrupter unit is usually provided with an arc-shield arrangement which consists of one or more generally cylindrical or ringshaped arc-shield elements which are adapted to cool, condense and thereby capture the metal particles dispersed around the arcing region between the spaced contact elements on the stationary and movable electrode rods.
  • the arc-shield element is usually positioned in such a manner that the arc-shield element concentrically surrounds the arcing region and thus forms an annular gap between each of the contact elements and that portion of the arcshield element which is in axially overlapping but radially spaced relation to the contact element.
  • an advanced version of arc-shield arrangement uses a plurality of, usually, two kinds of and three pieces of arcshield elements.
  • the arc-shield elements of such an arrangement consist of a generally cylindrical main arcshield element which is in concentrically surrounding relation to the arcing region between the contact elements and a pair of generally ring-shaped auxiliary arcshield elements which extend axially inwardly from the end plates of the vacuum bulb.
  • the two auxiliary arc-shield elements have inner end portions which are in axially overlapping and radially spaced relation to axial outer end portions of the main arc-shield element so that an annular gap is formed between each of the auxiliary arc-shield elements and the overlapping outer end portion of the main arc-shield element.
  • the ions and metal particles of the arc plasma produced as a result of the disconnection between the contacts elements are, thus, intercepted in a major proportion by the main arc-shield element but the remaining portion of the arc plasma is allowed to escape from the coverage of the main arc-shield element toward the inner faces of the end plates of the vacuum bulb.
  • arc plasma allowed out of the main arc-shield element impinges upon the inner faces of the end plates and is caused to spread toward inner peripheral surfaces of the auxiliary arc-shield elements which are respectively located adjacent to the end plates.
  • each of the auxiliary arc-shield elements be in axially overlapping and radially spaced relation over a sufficient area to the adjacent outer end portion of the main arc-shield element so that an annular gap having an ample space is formed between the main arc-shield element and each auxiliary arc-shield element. Formation of such a gap apparently results in increased axial length and diameter of the insulating envelope and accordingly in an enlarged overall construction and an increased production cost of the interrupter unit as a whole.
  • the present invention contemplates the elimination of all these drawbacks of the prior art vacuum power circuit breakers and it is, accordingly, an important object of the present invention to provide an arc-shield arrangement in a vacuum power circuit breaker that contributes to the reduction of the diameter and the axial length of the vacuum bulb and accordingly to the reduction of the production cost of the circuit breaker.
  • a vacuum power circuit breaker which comprises the inventive arc-shield arrangement
  • the circuit breaker includes a vacuum-bulb power interrupter unit including a generally cylindrical insulating envelope and a pair of end plates connected to axial ends of the insulating envelope through respective seal elements, a stationary electrode rod axially projecting into the envelope through one of the end plates of the bulb, a movable electrode rod axially projecting into the insulating envelope through the other of the end plates and axially movable toward and away from the stationary electrode rod.
  • The, stationary and movable electrode rods extend substantially in line with each other and carry electrical contact elements at their respective leading end portions for providing an arcing region between the contact elements when the movable electrode rod is axially moved away from the stationary electrode rod.
  • the inventive arc-shield arrangement is characterized by a main arc shield element having an axially central cylindrical portion which is in concentrically surrounding relationship to and radially spaced apart from the arcing region between the two contact elements and axially outer end portions which extend axially outwardly from the central cylindrical portion and are respectively in concentrically surrounding relationship to leading end portions of the electrode rods.
  • each arc-shield element having a generally cylindrical portion projecting axially inwardly from the inner face of the associated end plate and extending in proximity to and parallel with the inner peripheral surface of the seal element adjacent to the end plate.
  • annular portion extending radially inwardly and axially toward the inner face of the associated end plate from an axially inner end of the cylindrical portion of the auxiliary arc-shield element, each of the latter being axially spaced apart from each of the axial ends of the main arc-shield element, and forming an axial gap between each axial end main arc-shield element and each of the arc-shield elements.
  • each axially outer end portion of the main arc-shield element may be made substantially smaller in diameter than the axially central portion of the main arc-shield element.
  • each axially outer end portion of the main arcshield element may have a circumferential edge which is rounded into a hoop form.

  • FIG. 2 is a view similar to FIG. 1 showing another example of the prior-art vacuum-bulb power interrupter unit, using a plurality of arc-shield elements;
  • FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view which schematically illustrates a preferred embodiment of a vacuum-bulb power interrupter unit according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 Reference will now be made to the drawings, first to FIG. 1 so as to more clearly point out the drawbacks inherent in a prior-art vacuum-bulb power interrupter unit incorporating an arc-shield arrangement which consists of two kinds of and three pieces of arc-shield elements.
  • a vacuum-bulb power interrupter unit of a known vacuum circuit breaker includes a vacuum bulb which is composed of a generally cylindrical insulating envelope l and a pair of, upper and lower, metal end plates 12 and 14 to which the insulating envelope is securely and hermetically connected at its axial ends through metal-to-insulation seal elements 16 and 18, respectively, which form part of the insulating envelope 10.

  • the movable electrode rod 30 is electrically connected to a leading-out line of the vacuum circuit breaker and is mechanically connected to an actuating member of a control mechanism which is usually located below the interrupter unit, though not shown.
  • the movable electrode rod 30 is thus driven by the control mechanism to axially move toward and away from the stationary electrode rod 26 so that electrical connection is established or interrupted between the contact elements 28 and 32 on the stationary and movable electrode rods 26 and 28, respectively.
  • the central aperture 14a in the lower end plate 14 of the vacuum bulb is sealed off by means of a metallic bellows assembly 34 which is connected between the end plate 14 and the movable electrode rod 30.
  • the contact element 32 on the movable electrode rod 30 is brought into contact with the contact element 32 on the stationary electrode rod 26 so that electrical connection is established between the two electrode rods 26 and 30.
  • the contact element 32 on the former is spaced apart from the contact element 28 on the latter so that an arcing region 36 is provided between the spaced contact elements 28 and 32.
  • the vacuum-bulb power interrupter unit has incorporated into the vacuum bulb an arc-shield arrangement which is shown to comprise a main arcshield element 38 supported by the connecting member 24 through an annular support member 39 and a pair of cylindrical auxiliary arc-shield elements 42 and 44 which are supported by the upper and lower end plates 12 and 14, respectively, of the vacuum bulb.
