Die Schaltfinger von Hochstrom-Schaltvorrichtungen dienen zum Trennen und Schließen des Stromkreises, wobei sie einen Schaltweg zurückzulegen haben, zur Stromübertragung, als Grundkörper für Schaltkontakte, zum zeitlich versetzten Schalten über Vorkontakte, zum Löschen von beim Schaltvorgang entstehenden Lichtbögen, zur Wärmeabgabe und zur Aufnahme der sich durch die Schaltdynamik ergebenden mechanischen Beanspruchungen. Demtentsprechend müssen die Schaltfinger von Hochstrom-Schaltvorrichtungen eine hohe elektrische und mechanische Belastbarkeit, eine geringe Baugröße und eine gute elektrische Leitfähigkeit aufweisen. Hierzu kommt, daß die Schaltfinger preisgünstig herzustellen sein müssen.The switching fingers of high-current switching devices are used for disconnection and closing the circuit, covering a switching path have, for power transmission, as a base for switch contacts, for switching over time via pre-contacts, for deleting Arcs arising during the switching process, for heat emission and for Recording of the mechanical resulting from the switching dynamics Stresses. Accordingly, the shift fingers of High current switching devices have high electrical and mechanical Resilience, small size and good electrical conductivity exhibit. In addition, the shift finger is inexpensive have to be manufactured.
Obwohl für den Schaltvorgang bereits ein verstellbarer bzw. beweglicher Schaltfinger ausreicht, weisen Hochstrom-Schaltvorrichtungen im allgemeinen mehrere Schaltfinger auf. Dabei können an einem oder mehreren der Schaltfinger Vorkontakte vorgesehen sein, wenn dies für den jeweiligen Schaltvorgang zweckmäßig ist. Außerdem können an einem oder mehreren der Schaltfinger sowie an der Gegen-Kontaktplatte Hörner zum Ableiten des beim Schaltvorgang entstehenden Lichtbogens angebracht sein.Although already an adjustable or movable for the switching process Shift fingers are sufficient, have high-current switching devices in the generally several shift fingers. You can use one or Several of the switching fingers pre-contacts can be provided if this is for the respective switching operation is appropriate. In addition, at one or more of the shift fingers as well as on the counter contact plate Horns for deriving the arc that arises during the switching process to be appropriate.
Die an den Schaltfingern und der Gegen-Kontaktplatte vorgesehenen Kontaktstücke können aus Sonderlegierungen bestehen. Deren Oberfläche ist meistens verzinnt oder versilbert. Die Kontaktfinger selbst bestehen üblicherweise aus Kupfer, Insbesondere (S)E-Cu F25-30, wobei deren Oberfläche versilbert oder verzinnt ist, wenn die Dehnungsbänder oder Leiter angeschraubt werden, während die Oberfläche blank ist, wenn die Teile durch Schweißen oder Löten verbunden sind.The provided on the shift fingers and the counter contact plate Contact pieces can consist of special alloys. Their surface is mostly tinned or silver-plated. The contact fingers themselves usually consist of copper, in particular (S) E-Cu F25-30, whereby the surface of which is silvered or tinned when the stretch bands or conductor are screwed on while the surface is bare is when the parts are connected by welding or soldering.
Die bekannten Schaltfinger enthalten Bohrungen und weisen Einschnitte oder Überhöhungen zur Aufnahme mechanischer Kräfte aus Betätigungselementen oder Federn auf. An den Krafteinleitungsstellen oder Stellen mit hohen Biegemomenten ergeben sich Belastungen, die zu Verformungen der Schaltfinger führen, wenn durch Wärmeeinleitung die mechanische Festigkeit des Materials der Schaltfinger, nämlich des Kupfers, verringert wird. Daher muß man bei der Herstellung der bekannten Schaltfinger darauf achten, daß nur örtlich begrenzt eine geringe Wärmeeinleitung in das Material, nämlich Kupfer, erfolgt, wozu teure Herstellungsverfahren wie Percussionsschweißen oder Elektronenstrahlschweißen angewendet werden müssen. Alternativ können die Kontakte oder Dehnungsbänder auch angeschraubt werden, was hohe Montagekosten und außerdem hohe Kontaktwiderstände zur Folge hat. Im letztgenannten Fall lassen sich allerdings defekte Teile auch leichter austauschen.The known shift fingers contain bores and have incisions or peaks to absorb mechanical forces from actuators or feathers. At the force application points or Places with high bending moments result in loads that increase Deformations of the shift fingers lead when the mechanical strength of the material of the shift finger, namely the Copper, is reduced. Therefore, one must in the manufacture of the known shift finger make sure that only locally limited little heat is introduced into the material, namely copper, why expensive manufacturing processes such as percussion welding or Electron beam welding must be applied. Alternatively the contacts or stretch bands can also be screwed on what high assembly costs and also high contact resistance Has. In the latter case, however, defective parts can also be removed replace more easily.

8 umschließende Gehäuse 7 aus nicht magnetisierbarem Stahlblech,
vorzugsweise VA-Stahlblech, hergestellt und übernimmt die sich durch
die Schaltvorgänge ergebenden mechanischen Belastungen. Das Dehnungsband
8 braucht deshalb nicht für die Übertragung der mechanischen
