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.
Abstract:
A high-voltage DC cable joint comprising a multi-wall layered construction having individual concentrically arranged layers. The joint comprises, from inside to outside, an inner conductive rubber layer (1), a field grading rubber layer (2) made from a predetermined tailored formulation, an insulating rubber layer (3) and an outer conductive rubber layer (4). The field grading rubber layer separates and interconnects the conductive rubber layers, and wherein the rubber layers are cross-linked by a by-product-free manufacturing method. The cable joint is preferably made from platinum cured rubbers by moulding process steps. In a preferred embodiment the cable joint is made by injection moulding.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a vacuum interrupter with double co-axial contact arrangement in which the inner contact has a TMF-like or Pin shape arranged within concentrically cup shaped AMF coil with a single layer or multilayered contact parts at each side, th.m. on the side of the a fixed contact arrangement as well as on the side of a movable contact arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1. In order to enhance this special construction furthermore in order to result high conductivity and low resistance, the invention is, that the outer cup shaped contact is made from a double or multiple layer arrangement, wherein at least one layer is made from a hard steel or steel alloy and at least a second layer is made from material with high thermal conductivity.
