Abstract

The self-isolating three-phase interruptor comprises three insulating (7A,7B,7C) bars, each containing a vacuum chamber. The bars are solidly attached to a beam (4) which is able to pivot inside a chassis. The vacuum chambers are moved by an intermediate control shaft (10) associated with an operating mechanism. The beam is associated with an element (30) which causes a rapid rotation under spring action passing through a dead point. This operating element is controlled at the same time or immediately after the operation of the control shaft (10). The control shaft may have a pull-push action, with the operating mechanism being an electromagnet, or alternatively may have a rotary action, also produced by an electromagnet.

Description

La présente invention concerne un interrupteur auto-sectionneur à moyenne tension, utilisable jusqu'à 36 kV, avec extensions possibles jusqu'à 72 kV. Cet appareil trouve application dans la réalisation de cellules et postes à moyenne tension, intérieurs ou extérieurs.The present invention relates to a self-isolating switch at medium voltage, usable up to 36 kV, with possible extensions up to 72 kV. This device finds application in the realization of cells and substations medium voltage, indoor or outdoor.

On appelle interrupteur auto-sectionneur un appareil électrique ayant le pouvoir de couper une intensité nominale, le plus souvent 400, 630 ou 1250 ampères et qui, lorsqu'il est en position ouverte, présente entre ses bornes une excellente tenue diélectrique, au moins égale à celle qui est exigée pour les sectionneurs.We call an auto-disconnector switch a device electric having the power to cut an intensity nominal, most often 400, 630 or 1250 amps and which, when in the open position, present between its terminals excellent dielectric strength, at least equal to that which is required for disconnectors.

L'interrupteur auto-sectionneur de l'invention est dérivé du disjoncteur auto-sectionneur ayant fait l'objet de la demande de brevet européen EP-A-0 543 681 dont le principe est rappelé maintenant.The self-disconnecting switch of the invention is derived from the self-isolating circuit breaker that was the subject of European patent application EP-A-0 543 681, the principle is recalled now.

Un tel disjoncteur auto-sectionneur comprend, pour chaque pôle, un traversée isolante enfermant une ampoule à vide, la traversée comprenant à une première extrémité un premier contact relié à une première borne de l'ampoule à vide et à une seconde extrémité un second contact relié à une seconde borne de l'ampoule à vide, les traversées étant fixées à un profilé métallique le long duquel est disposé un arbre de manoeuvre commun aux ampoules à vide et actionné par une commande de manoeuvre des ampoules à vide contenu dans un coffret solidaire du profilé, ce dernier étant actionné en rotation pour assurer la fonction sectionnement.Such a self-disconnecting circuit breaker includes, for each pole, an insulating bushing enclosing a light bulb empty, the crossing comprising at a first end a first contact connected to a first terminal of the light bulb empty and at a second end a second contact connected to a second terminal of the vacuum interrupter, the bushings being fixed to a metal profile along which is disposed a operating shaft common to vacuum interrupters and operated by a command to operate the vacuum bulbs contained in a box integral with the profile, the latter being actuated in rotation to ensure the sectioning function.

Un tel disjoncteur auto-sectionneur permet de remplir les fonctions de coupure du courant et de sectionnement, et, de ce fait, il est équivalent à un disjoncteur encadré par deux sectionneurs. Sa construction est économique, son encombrement réduit, sa maintenance est facilitée par le fait qu'en position de sectionnement, les pôles se trouvent logés dans un tiroir extractible sous tension en toute sécurité. Such a self-disconnecting circuit breaker allows filling the current cut and disconnect functions, and, therefore, it is equivalent to a circuit breaker framed by two disconnectors. Its construction is economical, its reduced dimensions, its maintenance is facilitated by the causes the poles to be in the sectioning position housed in an extractable drawer under full tension security.

L'interrupteur auto-sectionneur de l'invention repose sur deux principes importants:

  • l'utilisation d'une ampoule à vide de performances réduites, donc de prix de revient relativement faible,
  • la combinaison des mouvements de coupure par l'ampoule et d'isolement par la rotation des pôles.
The self-disconnecting switch of the invention is based on two important principles:
  • the use of a vacuum bulb of reduced performance, therefore of relatively low cost price,
  • the combination of cutting movements by the bulb and isolation by rotation of the poles.

L'invention a pour objet un interrupteur auto-sectionneur triphasé caractérisé en ce qu'il comprend trois traversées isolantes contenant chacune une ampoule à vide, les traversées étant solidaires d'une poutre pouvant pivoter à l'intérieur d'un chassis, les ampoules à vide étant manoeuvrées par l'intermédiaire d'un arbre de commande associé à un mécanisme de manoeuvre, la poutre étant solidaire d'un organe de mise en rotation par ressort à passage de point mort, l'ouverture de l'interrupteur se faisant par la manoeuvre successive de l'arbre de commande et de l'organe de mise en rotation de la poutre.The subject of the invention is a self-isolating switch three-phase characterized in that it comprises three insulating bushings each containing a vacuum interrupter, the crossings being integral with a beam which can pivot inside a chassis, the vacuum bulbs being operated by a control shaft associated with an operating mechanism, the beam being secured to a spring-rotating member shift from neutral, the switch opens by the successive operation of the control shaft and of the member for rotating the beam.

Selon un premier mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'arbre de commande est du type tire-pousse, le mécanisme de manoeuvre comprenant un électro-aimant.According to a first embodiment of the invention, the drive shaft is of the rickshaw type, the operation comprising an electromagnet.

Selon un deuxième mode de réalisation de l'invention, l'arbre de commande est un arbre rotatif, le mécanisme de manoeuvre comprenant un électro-aimant.According to a second embodiment of the invention, the control shaft is a rotary shaft, the mechanism operation comprising an electromagnet.

Dans tous les cas, l'électro-aimant est alimenté jusqu'au passage par le point mort de l'organe de mise en rotation à passage de point mort.In all cases, the electromagnet is supplied until passing through the neutral point of the setting member rotation at neutral.

L'invention est expliquée en détail par la description de deux exemples de réalisation, en référence au dessin annexé dans lequel:

  • la figure 1 représente, en perspective, un interrupteur auto-sectionneur selon un premier mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, dans lequel la manoeuvre des pôles est assurée par un système de type "tire-pousse",
  • la figure 2 est une vue partielle en élévation de l'interrupteur auto-sectionneur de la Fig. 1, montrant notamment le système "tire-pousse",
  • la figure 3 est une vue de face de l'interrupteur auto-sectionneur de la Fig. 1,
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective d'un interrupteur auto-sectionneur selon un second mode de mise en oeuvre de l'invention, dans lequel la manoeuvre des pôles est assurée par un système de type rotatif,
  • la figure 5 est une vue de face de l'interrupteur de la figure 4.
The invention is explained in detail by the description of two exemplary embodiments, with reference to the appended drawing in which:
  • FIG. 1 represents, in perspective, a self-disconnecting switch according to a first embodiment of the invention, in which the operation of the poles is ensured by a system of the "pull-pull" type,
  • FIG. 2 is a partial view in elevation of the auto-disconnector switch of FIG. 1, showing in particular the "rickshaw" system,
  • FIG. 3 is a front view of the auto-disconnector switch of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 is a perspective view of a self-disconnecting switch according to a second embodiment of the invention, in which the operation of the poles is ensured by a system of the rotary type,
  • FIG. 5 is a front view of the switch in FIG. 4.

Dans la figure 1, la référence 1 désigne un châssis tubulaire, muni de roulettes 2, destiné à être placé, à la manière d'un tiroir extractible, dans une armoire non représentée.In Figure 1, reference 1 designates a chassis tubular, fitted with rollers 2, intended to be placed at the like a pull-out drawer, in a non-closet represented.

Une poutre horizontale 4 est articulée par ses deux extrémités 4A et 4B à des plaques 5A et 5B fixées au châssis, de manière à pouvoir effectuer un mouvement de rotation de 90° autour de son axe longitudinal. La poutre 4 est au potentiel de la terre.A horizontal beam 4 is articulated by its two ends 4A and 4B to plates 5A and 5B fixed to the chassis, so that a movement of 90 ° rotation around its longitudinal axis. The beam 4 is at the potential of the earth.

A la poutre 4 sont fixées trois traversées isolantes 7A, 7B et 7C, contenant chacune une ampoule à vide. Chacune de ces traversée constitue un pôle de l'interrupteur. Pour la clarté du dessin, la traversée 7C n'a été représentée que partiellement et en traits tiretés; seule l'ampoule 9B de la traversée 7B a été représentée. Selon une caractéristique de l'invention, l'ampoule à vide est choisie, parmi les ampoules du commerce fabriquées économiquement en grande série, en fonction de son aptitude à couper le courant nominal du dispositif dans lequel l'interrupteur est installé, sans se préoccuper de la tenue en tension entre les bornes de l'ampoule. Cette tension est nulle lorsque l'ampoule a ses contacts en position fermée. La tenue en tension est assurée par le pivotement des pôles, comme il sera expliqué plus loin. A titre d'exemple, on choisira, pour couper 400 ou 630 ampères sous la tension simple correspondant à un réseau 24 kV, on choisira la moins chère et la plus petite des ampoules utilisées habituellement:

  • pour un recloser 11 kV ou,
  • pour un contacteur 7,2 kV ou 3,3 kV ou 1 kV.
To the beam 4 are fixed three insulating bushings 7A, 7B and 7C, each containing a vacuum interrupter. Each of these crossings constitutes a pole of the switch. For clarity of the drawing, the crossing 7C has been shown only partially and in dashed lines; only the bulb 9B of the bushing 7B has been shown. According to a characteristic of the invention, the vacuum interrupter is chosen, from commercial ampoules produced economically in large series, according to its ability to cut the nominal current of the device in which the switch is installed, without being concerned of the voltage withstand between the terminals of the bulb. This voltage is zero when the bulb has its contacts in the closed position. The voltage withstand is ensured by the pivoting of the poles, as will be explained below. For example, to cut 400 or 630 amps under the single voltage corresponding to a 24 kV network, we will choose the cheapest and the smallest of the bulbs usually used:
  • for a recloser 11 kV or,
  • for a 7.2 kV or 3.3 kV or 1 kV contactor.

A l'abri de la poutre 4 est disposé un arbre 10 de commande d'ouverture et de fermeture des pôles, qui peut être actionné par rotation ou par translation.Sheltered from beam 4 is a shaft 10 of command to open and close the poles, which can be actuated by rotation or by translation.

Dans l'exemple de la figure 1, cet arbre 10 est un arbre du type "tire-pousse", puisqu'il agit en se déplaçant en translation le long de son propre axe, sous l'action d'une bobine d'électro-aimant 12; le mécanisme de commande des pôles est expliqué en référence au pôle 7B: la tige mobile 12B de l'ampoule à vide 9B est reliée à une première extrémité d'une bielle métallique 13B articulée autour d'un axe 14B solidaire de la traversée 7B; la seconde extrémité de la bielle 13B est articulée à une première extrémité d'une bielle isolante 15B susceptible de tenir la tension de fonctionnement de l'appareil; la seconde extrémité de la bielle isolante 15B est articulée dans une lumière 17B d'une première extrémité d'une équerre métallique 18B dont la seconde extrémité 19B est articulée sur l'arbre de commande 10. L'équerre 18B pivote autour d'un axe 20B solidarisé à la poutre 4. Le déplacement en translation le long de son axe de l'arbre 10 provoque la rotation de l'équerre 18B et ce mouvement est communiqué à la tige de commande 12B par les bielles 15B et 13B.In the example of FIG. 1, this tree 10 is a tree of the "rickshaw" type, since it acts by moving in translation along its own axis, under the action an electromagnet coil 12; the control mechanism of the poles is explained with reference to pole 7B: the rod mobile 12B of the vacuum interrupter 9B is connected to a first end of a metal rod 13B articulated around a axis 14B integral with the crossing 7B; the second end of the connecting rod 13B is articulated at a first end an insulating rod 15B capable of withstanding the voltage of operation of the device; the second end of the insulating rod 15B is articulated in a light 17B of a first end of a metal bracket 18B whose second end 19B is articulated on the control shaft 10. The bracket 18B pivots around an axis 20B secured to the beam 4. Displacement in translation along its axis of the shaft 10 causes the rotation of the bracket 18B and this movement is communicated to the control rod 12B by the connecting rods 15B and 13B.

Pour permettre le débattement nécessaire vers le haut de l'arbre 10, il est muni, de part et d'autre des pôles d'articulations 22 et 23 appropriées. On note que l'arbre 10 a de préférence une section rectangulaire dans sa partie comprise entre les articulations, pour permettre la fixation aisée des équerres; de part et d'autre de ces articulations il a de préférence une forme circulaire, pour coulisser librement à travers les plaques 5A et 5B.To allow the necessary upward travel of the shaft 10, it is provided, on either side of the poles of appropriate joints 22 and 23. Note that the tree 10 preferably has a rectangular section in its part between the joints, to allow fixing easy from the brackets; on either side of these joints it preferably has a circular shape, to slide freely through plates 5A and 5B.

On notera que l'arbre de commande 10 de manoeuvre des ampoules est logé à l'intérieur des articulations de la poutre 4, l'arbre 10 se déplaçant en translation tout à fait indépendemment du mouvement de rotation de la poutre 4. It will be noted that the control shaft 10 for operating the bulbs is housed inside the joints of the beam 4, shaft 10 moving completely in translation independently of the rotational movement of the beam 4.

Le pôle 7B possède une première prise de courant 24B coopérant avec une arrivée de courant 25B, et une seconde prise de courant 26B coopèrant avec une barre 27B. Les autre pôles possèdent les mêmes prises coopérant avec les mêmes éléments homologues. Des capots isolants tels que 29C assurent une isolation entre les pôles.The pole 7B has a first socket 24B cooperating with a 25B current supply, and a second socket 26B cooperating with a bar 27B. The others poles have the same sockets cooperating with the same homologous elements. Insulating covers such as 29C provide insulation between the poles.

Le fonctionnement de l'interrupteur est le suivant.The operation of the switch is as follows.

OUVERTUREOPENING

Le pôle est dans la configuration de la Fig.1The pole is in the configuration of Fig. 1

La bobine de l'électro-aimant 12 est excité, ce qui a pour effet de déplacer l'arbre 10 en translation, provoquant l'ouverture des ampoules à vide. Immédiatement, ou après un délai déterminé, on provoque le pivotement brusque à 90° de la poutre 4, ce qui entraíne le sectionnement des pôles. Dès que le passage par le point mort est effectué, au plus tard lorsque le sectionnement est achevé, on cesse l'alimentation de l'éléctro-aimant; sous l'effet de la pression atmosphérique, les ampoules à vide se referment.The coil of the electromagnet 12 is excited, which has effect of moving the shaft 10 in translation, causing the opening of the vacuum ampoules. Immediately, or after a determined delay, the abrupt pivoting of 90 ° is caused by the beam 4, which causes the sectioning of the poles. From that the passage through neutral is carried out, at the latest when the disconnection is completed, the feeding is stopped electromagnet; under pressure atmospheric, the vacuum ampoules close.

FERMETURECLOSING

Il suffit de provoquer la rotation de la poutre 4 de 90°, dans le sens opposé à celui de l'ouverture. En variante, la fermeture peut être effectuée par rotation de la poutre, les contacts de l'ampoule à vide restant ouverts. Le courant dans le circuit principal est alors établi à la fin de la rotation en fermant les contacts de l'ampoule à vide.It is enough to cause the rotation of the beam 4 of 90 °, in the opposite direction to that of the opening. In variant, the closure can be effected by rotation of the beam, the contacts of the vacuum interrupter remaining open. The current in the main circuit is then established at the end of rotation by closing the bulb contacts at empty.

On décrit maintenant, en référence aux Fig. 1 à 3, le mécanisme permettant de provoquer la rotation brusque de la poutre 4.We will now describe, with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3, the mechanism for causing the sudden rotation of the beam 4.

Une came 30 est solidarisée à la poutre 4 par une tube 31 traversant la plaque 5A dans laquelle il peut pivoter librement; on note qu'à l'intérieur de ce tube passe l'arbre 10 de manoeuvre des pôles. On désigne par O la trace de l'axe de rotation de la came 30.A cam 30 is secured to the beam 4 by a tube 31 passing through plate 5A in which it can pivot freely; we note that inside this tube passes the tree 10 for operating the poles. We denote by O the trace of the axis of rotation of the cam 30.

La came 30 est articulée à une première extrémité A d'un ressort 30A qui est maintenu comprimé lorsque l'interrupteur est en position fermée. La seconde extrémité B du ressort 30A est fixée à la plaque 5A. Lorsque l'interrupteur est en position fermée, le ressort pousse la came dans le sens tendant à la faire pivoter en sens inverse des aiguilles d'une montre. L'angle entre l'axe AB du ressort 30A et la ligne AO est légèrement inférieur à 180 degrés d'angle.Cam 30 is articulated at a first end A a 30A spring which is kept compressed when the switch is in the closed position. The second end B of the spring 30A is fixed to the plate 5A. When the switch is in the closed position, the spring pushes the cam in the direction tending to rotate it in the opposite direction clockwise. The angle between the axis AB of the spring 30A and line AO is slightly less than 180 degrees of angle.

La came est maitenue immobile par un ergot 32 fixé à un écrou 33 déplaçable en translation sur une tige filetée 34 pouvant être entraínée en rotation par un moteur 35; l'écrou 34 est immobilisé en rotation par des glissières 36 et 37; l'ergot coopère avec un premier épaulement 30' de la came, qui est munie d'un second épaulement 30".The cam is kept stationary by a lug 32 fixed to a nut 33 movable in translation on a threaded rod 34 can be rotated by a motor 35; the nut 34 is immobilized in rotation by slides 36 and 37; the lug cooperates with a first shoulder 30 'of the cam, which has a second 30 "shoulder.

Le fonctionnement est le suivant:
   immédiatement après l'ouverture des pôles, ou avec un retard donné, le moteur 35 est actionné en rotation, provoquant le déplacement de l'ergot 32 vers la droite de la Fig.2., ce qui fait tourner la came 30 dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. Dès que la ligne AB dépasse passe la ligne de point mort, le ressort 30A se détend brusquement et entraíne en rotation rapide la came et tout l'ensemble mobile qui lui est solidaire, c'est-à-dire poutre 4 et pôles.
The operation is as follows:
immediately after the opening of the poles, or with a given delay, the motor 35 is actuated in rotation, causing the displacement of the lug 32 to the right of FIG. 2, which rotates the cam 30 in the direction clockwise. As soon as the line AB passes the neutral line, the spring 30A suddenly relaxes and causes the cam and all the mobile assembly which is integral with it to rotate rapidly, that is to say beam 4 and poles.

La position sectionnée est représentée en traits tiretés dans la Fig. 2.The sectioned position is shown in lines dashed lines in Fig. 2.

La fermeture de l'interrupteur se fait en actionnant le moteur en sens inverse du sens utilisé pour l'ouverture; l'ergot, en butée sur l'épaulement 30", entraíne la came dans le sens anti-horaire, jusqu'à passage du point mort, avec compression du ressort 30A; après quoi l'ergot est ramené dans la position en butée contre l'ergot 30', prête pour une nouvelle interruption.The switch is closed by operating the motor opposite to the direction used for opening; the lug, in abutment on the shoulder 30 ", drives the cam counterclockwise, until neutral is passed, with compression of spring 30A; after which the lug is returned to the position in abutment against the lug 30 ', ready for a new interruption.

Les Fig. 4 et 5 illustrent un autre mode d'actionnement des ampoules à vide; dans ces figures, les éléments communs à ces figures et aux figures 1 à 3 ont reçu les mêmes numéros de référence. Figs. 4 and 5 illustrate another mode actuation of the vacuum ampoules; in these figures, the elements common to these figures and to figures 1 to 3 have been the same reference numbers.

Les ampoules à vide sont actionnées par un arbre tournant 40; l'équerre 18B est cette fois remplacée par une bielle 41B , le reste du mécanisme de commande étant inchangé.Vacuum bulbs are driven by a shaft turning 40; the 18B square is this time replaced by a connecting rod 41B, the rest of the control mechanism being unchanged.

L'arbre 40 est entrainé par une bielle 43 elle-même entraínée en rotation par un arbre 44 déplacé en translation par un électro-aimant 45.The shaft 40 is driven by a connecting rod 43 itself driven in rotation by a shaft 44 moved in translation by an electromagnet 45.

On notera que le moteur 35 est muni d'une manivelle 50 permettant la commande manuelle du sectionnement.It will be noted that the motor 35 is provided with a crank 50 allowing manual control of sectioning.
