Abstract:
The present invention relates to a circuit breaker comprising an ejection device (8, 9; 80, 90) comprising an arc-extinction medium (18; 18a, 18b) for improved extinction of an arc formed during a breaker operation and an exhaust-cooling medium (18; 18a, 18b) for improved cooling of exhaust gases in the circuit breaker (1). Thereby, the arc-extinction liquid (18; 18a, 18b) comprises an organofluorine compound having a boiling point T b at 1 bar higher than -60°C and being selected from the group consisting of: a fluoroether; a fluoroamine; a fluoroketone; and mixtures thereof.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a circuit breaker comprising an ejection device (8, 9; 80, 90) comprising a compartment (14a), in which an arc-extinction medium (18; 18a, 18b) for improving circuit breaker operation is contained, and having an ejection orifice (17) through which the arc-extinction medium (18; 18a, 18b) is to be ejected, wherein the ejection orifice (17) opens out into an injection zone (5, 6, 71) of the circuit breaker (1) in which the pressure is lower than in an arcing zone (32) when an arc is present, and wherein the arc-extinction medium (18; 18a, 18b) and/or exhaust-cooling medium (18; 18a, 18b) is at least partially present in liquid form, when it is contained in the ejection device (8, 9; 80, 90).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a high-voltage power switch having an interrupter unit (14), a starting resistor (18), and a switch (15) connected in series with the starting resistor (18). The interrupter unit (14) comprises a first interrupter contact (32) displaceable along an axis (A1) and driven, acting together with a second interrupter contact (33) disposed on the axis (A1) to open and close the high-voltage power switch. The switch (15) comprises a switch contact (46) pivotable about a pivot axis (D), the pivoting motion of which is coupled to the motion of the first interrupter contact (32) along the axis (A1) by means of a link motion (60).
Abstract:
A contact arrangement has a longitudinal axis (z) and comprises a first contact group (3a, 4a) with a first contact (3a) and a second contact (4a) and a second contact group (3b, 4b) with a third contact (3b) and a fourth contact (4b). The first contact (3a) interacts electrically and mechanically with the third contact (3b),and/or the second contact (4a) interacts electrically and mechanically with the fourth contact (4b), for closing and opening the contact arrangement. At least one mechanical coupling (2) is provided for transmitting an actuation force to the second contact group (3b, 4b) and thereby moving the second contact group (3b, 4b). The at least one mechanical coupling (2) is adapted to move the third and the fourth contact (3b, 4b) in such a way that their speeds differ along at least a portion of a travel path of the third contact (3b) or along at least a portion of a travel path of the fourth contact (4b).
