Abstract:
The switch pole of a high-voltage switch contains an insulating housing (1) filled with insulating gas, two power supply connections (2, 3) that run through the wall of the insulating housing (1) and an electrically conductive contact assembly that is connected to the two power supply connections. The insulating housing (1) has a shell-type construction and has an inner and an outer shell. The outer shell is configured as an insulator (30), is cast onto the inner shell and supports the latter against a force that is caused by the pressure of the insulating gas. The inner shell is configured as a gas-tight sealable container (20) prior to the casting of the outer shell. Prior to said casting process, the housing (20) holds at least the contact assembly and at the same time has a degree of shape retention that is sufficient to support its own mass and all the parts held in said housing. The switch pole can be cost-effectively produced and is characterised by a high degree of operational safety.
Abstract:
The chamber has a heating volume (6) for accommodating compressed quenching gas from an arc zone (8), where a part of a wall of the heating volume is formed by a differential piston (9). The piston has a piston step forming a working face (A2) that acts in an expansion space (12) and another working face (A1) that acts in a storage space (13) filled with insulating gas. A channel, which connects the heating volume to the storage space, is guided through the piston, where the channel is opened if the insulating gas pressure (p2) is greater than the quenching gas pressure (p1).
