Definitions
- the invention is based on current contact arrangements of a current switch according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- the invention relates to a prior art, as is known from DE 2925162 C2.
- a high-voltage switch is described with a movable contact between an inner and outer fixed contact.
- a contact finger with a contact loop is inserted, which presses against a contact ring of the movable contact piece of the current switch in its closed state by means of a leaf spring.
- a loop contact is arranged on the movable contact piece, which presses against the inner contact piece when the current switch is closed and opens when the current switch is opened after the contact finger has been opened.
- the invention solves the problem of further developing current contact arrangements of a current switch of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the current switch can be produced more easily and more cost-effectively.
- An advantage of the invention is that no additional power current path is required in addition to the nominal current path.
- the arc length can be increased with simple means and thus the commutation voltage increased, the switch-off behavior improved and the erosion of the current contacts reduced.
- Fig. 1 in a section a cross section of the upper
- FIG. 2 Current switch in the closed position and FIG. 2 current contact arrangements according to FIG. 1 in the open
- Fig. 1 shows a section of a sectional view of a circular cylindrical rated current contact arrangement of a circuit breaker or current switch in the closed state, with (1) the longitudinal axis is designated.
- a tubular, movable 1st current contact arrangement (K1) and a tubular, fixed 2nd current contact arrangement (K2) have switching contacts (P4) or (Pl) at the end, which can be produced inexpensively by welding profile rings.
- a U-shaped arcing horn (R1) made of an electrically highly conductive material is also arranged at the end of the first current contact arrangement (K1) and an arcing horn or a U-shaped current conductor loop (R2) at the end of the 2nd current contact arrangement (K2) to opposite switching contacts (P2) and (P3) consists of a bimetal.
- the inner part of the bimetal consists of a material with a high elastic constant, preferably of steel (2), and the outer part of an electrically highly conductive material, preferably of copper (3) or a copper alloy.
- the steel component of the current loop (R2) ensures its high radial elasticity; it is shaped so that the current conductor loop (R2) relaxes after a contact separation in the form shown in FIG. 2.
- the current conductor loop (R2) can follow it be sawn on the inside in the radial direction.
- the copper component of the bimetal ensures high electrical conductivity.
- the switching contacts (Pl) - (P4) which lie one above the other in the closed state of the current switch and are pressed by an elastic deformation of the first and second current contact arrangements (Kl, K2), are subjected to different levels of stress by arcing. A silver coating is sufficient for the little stressed switching contacts (Pl) and (P2), while the switching contacts (P3) and (P4) have a coating made of a consumable material.
- the current conductor loop (R2) has a contact end or an arcing horn (3 ') made of copper at the end behind the switch contacts (Pl) and (P2).
- a dashed line (4) through the 1st current contact arrangement (Kl), the switch contacts (Pl) - (P4) and the 2nd current contact arrangement (K2) indicates a symmetrical current path.
- FIG. 2 shows current contact arrangements of the current switch according to FIG. 1 in the open state, the first current contact arrangement (K1) being shifted to the right in the direction of an arrow (5).
- the contact pairs (Pl, P2) are first separated, as a result of which the current commutates into the current conductor loop (R2), as shown in broken lines.
- the contact pair (P3, P4) also disconnects, so that an arc ( ⁇ ) is created, which is driven by the asymmetrical current flow in the current loop (R2) onto the arcing horns (3 *, R1) becomes.
- the arc is thus quickly driven away from the original contact point and is increasingly magnetically blown asymmetrically, so that its operating voltage increases rapidly.
