Abstract:
An electric switching device (1) filled with a dielectric insulating medium comprises first and second arcing contact (3, 4), first exhaust volume (7) downstream of first arcing contact (3) and second exhaust volume (8) downstream of second arcing contact (4). The exhaust volumes (7, 8) comprise several first openings (14) in their walls (17), through which the insulating medium exits into third volume (9). The third volume (9) is arranged around the first or second exhaust volume (7, 8) and is radially delimited by the wall (17) of the exhaust volumes (7, 8) and by an exterior wall (11) having second openings (10) through which the insulating medium exits the third volume (9). One baffle device (2) is provided inside third volume (9) such that vortex flow of the insulating medium is generated when it passes the baffle device (2) on its way towards the second openings (10).
Abstract:
An electric switching device (1) filled with a dielectric insulating medium comprises an arrangement of arcing contacts with a first arcing contact (3) and a second arcing contact (4), an insulating nozzle (2), an arcing volume (5) between the first arcing contact (3) and the second arcing contact (4), an exhaust volume (6) and an exhaust tube (7) arranged inside the exhaust volume (6). A diameter of the exhaust tube (7) increases in longitudinal direction (z) away from the arcing volume (5). Additionally or alternatively, the exhaust tube (7) comprises a plurality of exhaust tube openings (8) through its side wall (12), which connect the interior of the exhaust tube (7) with the exhaust volume (6), wherein at least a part of the exhaust tube openings (8) have different sizes.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an electrical switching device with a switching chamber (10), which comprises at least two arcing contacts (192, 192) movable in relation to each other and defining an arcing region (22) in which an arc (20) is formed during a current breaking operation, with the switching chamber (10) being filled with a switching medium (20) for arc quenching and for dielectrical insulation. The switching chamber (10) further comprises an exhaust volume (40, 62) fluidically connected to the arcing region (22) to allow the switching medium heated by the arc (20) to flow out of the arcing region (22) to the exhaust volume (40, 62), thereby transferring heat to a surface area of a metal component of the switching chamber (10). The device is characterized in that at least a portion of a surface contained in the switching chamber (10) is covered with a porous layer (72).

One baffle device is provided inside third volume such that vortex flow of the insulating medium is generated when it passes the baffle device on its way towards the second openings. Turbulent flow conditions are chosen such that gravitational force allows to trap or contributes to trap particles in the baffle device. The baffle device comprises baffle plates or fins, that are arranged to form cavities for capturing the particles by gravitational force.

Abstract:
The gas-insulated HV switching device comprises a contact arrangement with two arcing contacts, one of which being designed as a contact tulip (21), an auxiliary nozzle (40) enclosing at least partially the contact tulip (21) and a tubular electrostatic shield (42), which protrudes along an axis (A) beyond a free end of the contact tulip (21). In order improve the switching performance of the switching device the tubular electrostatic shield (42) is electrically connected to the contact tulip (21) and is integrated in an electrical circuit comprising a current limiter (resistors 43, 44) and extending from the shield (42) through the current limiter to an end of the contact tulip (21) which is arranged opposite its free end.
