Abstract:
AMF contact for vacuum interrupter, with concentric opposing contact pieces, wherein the contact pieces consist of an external electrode shaped like a coil with a plate as bottom plate of the electrode, and generating a strong axial magnetic field, and an inner internal electrode as top electrode, carrying the nominal current, according to the preamble of claim 1. In order to to design the outer electrode in order to generate the axial magnetic field as requested for the application, with potentially superior performances to the competitors, the invention is, that between the top electrode and the bottom plate is arranged a rod, which is at one end fixed at that lower side of the top electrode and the other end of the rod is guided trough an opening of the bottom plate, wherein at that end of the rod the rod is being furnished with an extended head in such, that the extended head of the rod locks or tightens the rod in a defined axial position. Furthermore the solution can be applied for the standard AMF or TMF (cup) contacts to reinforce them.
