  • current can continue to flow in the arc while the circuit is already mechanically separated by the switch or should be disconnected.
  • various approaches are known. Some of these approaches also involve the speed of the separation process.

  • the patent discloses that one of the high voltage leading contact conductor elements can be covered with a metal shield cap.
  • the contact conductor element may comprise a plurality of individual contact conductors and, accordingly, the metallic shield cover may be provided with a number of openings corresponding to the number of contact conductors.
  • the shielding cap is mechanically connected to the contact conductor in such a way that, when approaching a second contact conductor, that is, the contact contact conductor, Ters is mechanically moved back and only then through the openings through the hitherto shielded contact conductors are released.
  • This switching device is intended to be used in particular in power amplifiers of long-wave transmitters.
  • German patent DE 19 28 922 C3 discloses an approach of high voltage engineering, which also aims at the mechanical separation of circuits.
  • the current is conducted via one or more separating blades, which can be moved mechanically into a counterpart switch piece.
  • the separating knives can also be turned to ensure better electrical contact with the counter-piece.
  • This approach allows dealing with very high voltages in the range of more than 10kV and probably more than 100kV.
  • the mechanical separation is again quite slow, in addition, a mechanically complex to produce component is required, which also occupies a place.

Insulating gas is used to suppress any possible arcing. In order to reliably suppress an arc, this insulating gas must have a predetermined minimum pressure. To check compliance with the minimum pressure, a pressure sensor is provided. If an insulating gas appears to suppress the formation of an arc more reliable than, for example, a water bag, then the provision of pressure sensors is very complicated. In this regard, a simpler solution would be desirable.
