- the current-dependent valve can, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, also consist of a frame consisting of ferromagnetic material, which is arranged concentrically to the blow opening within the bulkhead wall and to which On the side facing away from the heating chamber in front of the blowing opening, a cover plate made of ferromagnetic material is provided, which is preferably supported by four rods attached to the bulkhead and is supported against the bulkhead by compression springs.

- the compressed gas circuit breaker essentially consists of two on a common one Axially arranged pin-shaped contact pieces 1, 2, which can also be tubular, a coaxially surrounding this, in the switched-on state bridging the contact pieces, axially displaceable contact piece 3, a concentrically arranged first heating chamber 4, the
- the contact arrangement in FIG. 2 assumes a position in which, after the main current path 5 has been opened, the first isolating path 11 is formed after the sliding contact 10 of the contact piece 3 has been separated from the contact piece 1.
- Figure 3 shows the compressed gas circuit breaker in the off position.
- the contact piece 3 is now firmly connected via a bulkhead 13 consisting of insulating material and having a blowing opening 12 with the area of the main current path 5 carrying the movable nominal current contact 7 and thus with the axially displaceable compression piston 9.
- the space behind the bulkhead 13 is divided into a boiler room 16 and a control room 17 by a partition wall 15 which runs coaxially to the switch axis 14.
- the partition 15 is on the one hand with the bulkhead 13 and on the other hand with the compression piston 9 firmly connected and takes an annular piston 21, which divides the switching space 17 into two partial spaces 19, 20 and is firmly connected to the second switching piece 2, on axially displaceable.
- the annular piston 21 is under the action of a arranged compression spring.
- the compression piston 9 is connected to the switching element 2 via a sliding contact 23 and the second isolating section 24 is opened after the blowing opening 12 by a current-dependent valve after opening the first isolating section 11 through the switching element 2 and the sliding contact 26 of the axially displaceable contact piece 3 is formed.
- the main current path is first opened. If the nominal current contacts 6, 7 are at a sufficient distance, the first isolating path 11 opens and the arc 27 is drawn. This heats up the gas in the heating chamber 4, which is delimited by the isolating nozzle 28 with its flow channel, so that the pressure of the gas increases and, since the blow opening 12 is initially closed by the current-dependent valve, is further built up. If the cut-off current approaches the current zero crossing, the force effect on the current-dependent valve 25 decreases and the blowing opening 12 to the subspace 17 of the control room 19 is released.
- the gas thus flows out of the heating chamber 4 and thus also out of the additional heating chamber 16 m into the partial chamber 19, acts on the annular piston 21 and actuates this and thus the second switching element 2 with the opening of the second isolating section 24 between the switching element 2 and the contact element 3 At this time, since the current resulting from the arc 27 of the first isolating section 11 is in the region of the zero crossing, the extinguishing capacity of the second isolating section 24 need not be very high. Extinguishing gas can also be provided from the compression device 8 via the opening 30 in the compression piston 9.
- the invention thus makes controlled switching in the zero-current crossing independent of the respective proper time of the compressed gas circuit breaker with low drive energy. Not only is a reliable re-consolidation of the separating section achieved, but the effects intended by the invention are achieved without a constructional enlargement of the compressed gas circuit breaker.
- the compressed gas circuit breaker is in the switch position in which the second separation section 24 is already open.
- This compressed gas circuit breaker differs from that according to Figures 1 to 3 essentially in that the current-dependent valve is attached directly to the annular piston 21 fixed to the switching element 2 at the level of the blowing opening 12 of the bulkhead 13 and that the annular piston 21 and thus also the switching element 2 is axially displaceably received by the area of the main current path 5 which carries the movable nominal current contact 7.
- the current-dependent valve 25 according to FIGS. 1 to 5 can be both a current-dependent valve 31 that uses the current forces and a valve 32, 33.
- a cover plate 34 made of ferromagnetic material is displaceably arranged above the blowing opening 12, which is formed by compression springs 35 for the switching elements 1, 2 and the contact piece 3
- the current-dependent valve 32 shown in FIG. 7 uses the forces that arise between two ferromagnetic bodies in a magnetic field. Therefore there are two cover plates 38, 39 made of a ferromagnetic material at the level of the blow opening 12, which are also supported against one another by compression springs 40. Both this current-dependent valve 33 and that according to FIG. 6 are particularly suitable if the current-dependent valve is to be arranged on the annular piston 21.
- the current-dependent valve 33 also uses the forces that arise between two ferromagnetic bodies in a magnetic field.
- a frame made of ferromagnetic material is provided concentrically with the blowing opening within the bulkhead 13.
- a cover plate 42 made of ferromagnetic material is furthermore arranged in front of the blowing opening 12, which is guided by rods fastened to the bulkhead wall 13 and is supported against the bulkhead wall 13 by compression springs 44. With the interposition of a spring body 45, the movement of the cover plate 42 made of ferromagnetic material is limited by a stop 46, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3.

Description
Beschreibungdescription
DruckgasleistungsschalterPressurized gas circuit breaker
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Druckgasleistungsschalter, insbesondere zum Löschen eines Lichtbogens eines hohen Kurzschlußstromes, mit einem ersten und einem zweiten auf einer gemeinsamen Achse mit Abstand zueinander angeordneten Schaltstücken und mit einem im eingeschalteten Zustand den Abstand überbrückenden, axial verschiebbaren und beim Ausschaltvorgang von dem ersten Schaltstück ablaufenden Kontakt- stück, das zumindest teilweise von einem Heizraum umgeben ist, wobei zu einer beim Ausschaltvorgang zwischen dem ersten Schaltstück und dem Kontaktstück gebildeten ersten Trenn- strecke eine zweite Trennstrecke in Reihe geschaltet ist.The invention relates to a compressed gas circuit breaker, in particular for extinguishing an arc of a high short-circuit current, with a first and a second on a common axis with spaced switching pieces and with a gap bridging the distance in the switched-on state, axially displaceable and running during the switch-off process from the first switching piece Contact piece which is at least partially surrounded by a boiler room, a second separating section being connected in series with a first isolating section formed between the first switching piece and the contact piece during the switching-off process.
Ein Druckgasschalter geht hinsichtlich der Kontaktanordnung und der Betätigung des axial verschiebbaren Kontaktstückes im wesentlichen beispielsweise aus der DE 40 10 007 AI hervor. Wegen der Anordnung eines koaxial zur Kontaktanordnung vorgesehenen Heizraumes wird auf die DE 41 03 119 AI verwiesen. Unabhängig davon, wie diese Druckgasschalter im einzelnen ausgebildet sind, sind sie stets mit dem Nachteil behaftet, daß beim Ausschaltvorgang durch das heiße Gas im Heizraum das Verfestigen der Trennstrecke erschwert wird, so daß derA gas pressure switch with regard to the contact arrangement and the actuation of the axially displaceable contact piece essentially emerges, for example, from DE 40 10 007 AI. Because of the arrangement of a coaxial to the contact arrangement provided heating room, reference is made to DE 41 03 119 AI. Regardless of how these pressure gas switches are designed in detail, they are always subject to the disadvantage that when the switch-off process is made difficult by the hot gas in the boiler room, the separation path is made more difficult, so that the
Zeitpunkt der Wiederverfestigung nicht genügend genau bestimmbar ist. Hinzu kommt, daß ein gesteuertes Schalten im Stromnulldurchgang kaum zu verwirklichen ist, da die Eigenzeit vom Druckgasleistungsschalter - jeder Druckgaslei- εtungsschalter hat unter Berücksichtigung von Fertigungstoleranzen, Alter, Umgebungsbedingungen und unterschiedlichen Massen eine abweichende Eigenzeit - in den Schaltablauf eingeht .
Nun ist es auch, nach der EP 0 334 181 Bl - siehe auch EP 0 400 523 AI - bei Druckgasleistungsschaltern bekannt, in Reihe zur ersten Trennstrecke eine zweite Trennstrecke zu schalten, aber dies ist mit einem unverhältnismäßig großen und damit kostenungünstigen Antrieb verbunden, zumal dasThe time of re-consolidation cannot be determined with sufficient accuracy. In addition, controlled switching in the zero-current crossing is hardly feasible, since the natural time of the compressed gas circuit breaker - each compressed gas circuit breaker has a different natural time taking into account manufacturing tolerances, age, ambient conditions and different masses - is included in the switching sequence. Now it is also known, according to EP 0 334 181 Bl - see also EP 0 400 523 AI - for pressurized gas circuit breakers to connect a second isolating distance in series with the first isolating distance, but this is associated with a disproportionately large and therefore inexpensive drive, especially since the
Löschgas nur von außen her in das Innere des die Sekundärkontakte der zweiten Trennstrecke enthaltenen Volumens gelangt. Das aber bedeutet, daß nicht nur zusätzlich von außen Gas bereitgestellt werden muß, sondern der Druckgasleistungsschal- ter eine räumlich große Ausdehnung benötigt.Extinguishing gas only comes from the outside into the interior of the volume containing the secondary contacts of the second isolating section. However, this means that not only does gas have to be provided from the outside, but the compressed gas circuit breaker requires a large spatial extension.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Druckgasleistungsschalter entsprechend dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 zu schaffen, durch den unabhängig von seiner jeweiligen Eigen- zeit und vom heißen Gas des Heizvolumens mit geringer Antriebsenergie ein zuverlässiges Schalten bei genügender Wiederverfestigung der Trennstrecke erzielt wird und zwar ohne Vergrößerung des umbauten Raumes des Druckgasleistungsschal- terε .The invention has for its object to provide a gas circuit breaker according to the preamble of claim 1, by which regardless of its own time and the hot gas of the heating volume with low drive energy, a reliable switching is achieved with sufficient re-consolidation of the separation section and without enlargement the enclosed space of the compressed gas circuit breaker.
Erfindungsgemäß wird dieses dadurch erreicht, daß das zweite Schaltstück axialbeweglich und mit einem Kolben verbunden ist, der in einem Schaltraum durch Beaufschlagung mit aus dem Heizraum in den Schaltraum einströmenden Heizgas relativ zu dem Kontaktstύck derart antreibbar ist, daß das zweite Schaltstück von dem Kontaktstück abläuft.According to the invention this is achieved in that the second contact piece is axially movable and is connected to a piston which can be driven in a switch room by acting on heating gas flowing into the switch room from the heating room relative to the contact piece such that the second contact piece runs off the contact piece.
Hierdurch ist einerseits eine Antriebsunterstützung gegeben, da das zweite Schaltstück durch den Löschgasdruck bewegt wird. Andererseits ist die Betätigung des zweiten Schaltstük- kes löschgasdruckabhängig und damit stromabhängig, so daß die Öffnung der zweiten Trennstrecke durch die Gegebenheiten jedes einzelnen Schaltvorganges gesteuert wird.
Eine vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sieht vor, daß der Heizraum vom Schaltraum durch eine Schottwand getrennt ist, die ein durch den zu schaltenden Strom und den Druckunterschied zwischen Heizraum und Schaltraum steuerbares Ventil aufweist.This provides drive support on the one hand, since the second contact piece is moved by the extinguishing gas pressure. On the other hand, the actuation of the second switching piece is dependent on the extinguishing gas pressure and thus on the current, so that the opening of the second isolating section is controlled by the circumstances of each individual switching operation. An advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the boiler room is separated from the control room by a bulkhead which has a valve which can be controlled by the current to be switched and the pressure difference between the boiler room and control room.
Durch das Ventil kann der Zeitpunkt der Öffnung der zweiten Trennstrecke noch genauer gesteuert werden.The timing of the opening of the second separation section can be controlled even more precisely by the valve.
Die Erfindung kann außerdem vorteilhaft dadurch ausgestaltet werden, daß das zweite Schaltstück am inneren Umfang einer mit dem Kompressionskolben einer Kompressionseinrichtung in Verbindung stehenden rohrförmigen Hauptstrombahn axial unter Bildung eines Gleitkontaktes verschiebbar ist wobei die zweite Trennstrecke nach Öffnung einer Blasöffnung durch das stromabhängige Ventil durch das den als Ringkolben ausgebildeten Kolben beaufschlagende Heizgas zwischen dem zweiten Schaltstück und dem axial verschiebbaren Kontaktstück gebildet ist.The invention can also be advantageously configured in that the second switching piece on the inner circumference of a tubular main flow path connected to the compression piston of a compression device is axially displaceable with the formation of a sliding contact, the second separation path after opening of a blowing opening through the current-dependent valve through the as Ring piston formed piston acting heating gas is formed between the second switching piece and the axially displaceable contact piece.
Unabhängig davon, wie der Heizraum in seiner Ausführung gestaltet ist, kann der Ringkolben in dem Schaltraum über eine Druckfeder mit dem Kompressionskolben der Kompressionsein- richtung verbunden sein, so daß nach Beendigung eines Aus- schaltvorganges gewährleistet iεt, daß die Druckfeder denRegardless of how the boiler room is designed in its design, the annular piston in the control room can be connected to the compression piston of the compression device via a compression spring, so that after completion of a switch-off process it is ensured that the compression spring ensures that
Ringkolben und den mit diesem verbundenen Schaltstück wieder in die Ausgangsstellung bringt.Bring the annular piston and the contact piece connected to it back into the starting position.
Um für die Aufnahme des Heizgases, insbesondere beim Schalten hoher Kurzschlußströme, einen ausreichend großen Heizraum zur Verfügung zu stellen, ist in weiterer Ausgestaltung der Erfindung der dem Heizraum nachgeordnete Schaltraum in radialer Richtung durch eine koaxial zur Schalterachse verlaufende Trennwand begrenzt, die einerseits mit der Schottwand und an- dererseits mit dem Kompressionskolben der Kompressionsein-
richtung fest verbunden ist, derart, daß am äußeren Umfang der Trennwand ein zusätzlicher mit dem Heizraum vor der Schottwand in Verbindung stehender Heizraum gebildet ist.In order to provide a sufficiently large boiler room for the absorption of the heating gas, especially when switching high short-circuit currents, in a further embodiment of the invention the control room downstream of the boiler room is limited in the radial direction by a partition wall running coaxially to the switch axis, which on the one hand is connected to the bulkhead and on the other hand with the compression piston the compression direction is firmly connected, such that an additional with the boiler room in front of the bulkhead in connection with the boiler room is formed on the outer circumference of the partition.
Gemäß einem weiteren Merkmal der Erfindung besteht das Ventil aus einem oder aus zwei ferromagnetischen Körpern, die in der Hochstromphase gegen die Kraft von Druckfedern die Blasöffnung in der Schottwand geschlossen halten, diese jedoch freigeben, wenn der Strom einen bestimmten unteren Wert erreicht hat. Dabei können zur Betätigung des stromabhängigen Ventils die Stromkräfte der Strombahn der Druckgasleistungsschalters, das heißt die Kräfte, die zwischen zwei ferromagnetischen Körpern in einem Magnetfeld entstehen, das durch den abzuschaltenden Kurzschlußstrom als konzentrisches Magnetfeld um die Strombahn des Druckgasleistungsschalters aufgebaut wird, ausgenutzt werden.According to a further feature of the invention, the valve consists of one or two ferromagnetic bodies which keep the blow opening in the bulkhead closed in the high current phase against the force of compression springs, but which release it when the current has reached a certain lower value. The current forces of the current path of the compressed gas circuit breaker, i.e. the forces that arise between two ferromagnetic bodies in a magnetic field that is built up by the short-circuit current to be switched off as a concentric magnetic field around the current path of the compressed gas circuit breaker, can be used to actuate the current-dependent valve.
Zur Ausnutzung der Stromkräfte kann zur Bildung eines Ventils ein ferromagnetischer Körper in Form einer Abdeckplatte oberhalb der Blasöffnung verschiebbar angeordnet sein, die durch die Druckfedern zur durch die Schaltstücke sowie durch das axial verschiebbare Kontaktstück gebildeten Strombahn abgestützt und durch einen Anschlag begrenzt ist. Zwecks Führung der ferromagnetischen Abdeckplatte unter Berücksichti- gung eines geringen Reibungswiderstandes ist diese aufTo utilize the current forces, a ferromagnetic body in the form of a cover plate can be slidably arranged above the blowing opening to form a valve, which is supported by the compression springs for the current path formed by the switching pieces and by the axially displaceable contact piece and is limited by a stop. In order to guide the ferromagnetic cover plate taking into account a low frictional resistance, it is open
Schienen oder aber in Nuten, vorzugsweise aus PTFE, gelagert.Rails or in grooves, preferably made of PTFE.
Ebenso kann das stromabhängige Ventil zweckmäßigerweise aus zwei aus einem ferromagnetischen Material bestehenden Abdeck- platten bestehen, die an der der Schaltkammer zugewandten Stirnseite der Schottwand in Höhe der Blasöffnung einander sich gegenüberstehen und durch Druckfedern gegeneinander abgestützt sind.
Beide Ausbildungen des stromabhängigen Ventiles sind dazu geeignet, dieses in Höhe der Blasöffnung auch am Ringkolben anzuordnen, wobei dann aber Vorkehrungen zu treffen sind, daß der Ringkolben zumindest im Bereich des stromabhängigen Ven- tiles nicht aus einem magnetischen Material besteht.Likewise, the current-dependent valve can expediently consist of two cover plates made of a ferromagnetic material, which face each other at the end of the bulkhead facing the switching chamber at the level of the blowing opening and are supported against one another by compression springs. Both designs of the current-dependent valve are suitable for arranging this on the annular piston at the level of the blowing opening, but precautions must then be taken that the annular piston does not consist of a magnetic material, at least in the region of the current-dependent valve.
Unter Ausnutzung der Kräfte, die zwischen zwei ferromagnetischen Körpern in einem Magnetfeld entstehen, kann das stromabhängige Ventil gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführung der Er- findung aber auch aus einem aus ferromagnetischen Material bestehenden Rahmen bestehen, der konzentrisch zur Blasöffnung innerhalb der Schottwand angeordnet ist und zu dem auf der dem Heizraum abgewandten Seite vor der Blasöffnung eine aus ferromagnetischem Material bestehende Abdeckplatte vorgesehen ist, die, vorzugsweise von vier an der Schottwand befestigten Stäben geführt, durch Druckfedern gegen die Schottwand abgestützt ist.By utilizing the forces that arise between two ferromagnetic bodies in a magnetic field, the current-dependent valve can, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention, also consist of a frame consisting of ferromagnetic material, which is arranged concentrically to the blow opening within the bulkhead wall and to which On the side facing away from the heating chamber in front of the blowing opening, a cover plate made of ferromagnetic material is provided, which is preferably supported by four rods attached to the bulkhead and is supported against the bulkhead by compression springs.
Die Erfindung wird anhand von zwei Ausführungsbeispielen nä- her erläutert.The invention is explained in more detail using two exemplary embodiments.

Figuren 4 und 5 den Schnitt eines Teiles eines gegenüber Figuren 1 bis 3 verändert ausgeführten Druckgasleistungsschalters im Bereich seiner Kontaktanordnung in zwei Phasen während des Ausschaltvorganges und Figuren 6 bis 8 drei Varianten der Ausbildung eines bei den Druckgasleistungsschaltern nach Figur 1 bis 5 zur Anwendung kommenden stromabhängigen Ventiles.4 and 5 show the section of a part of a compressed gas circuit breaker which has been modified compared to FIGS. 1 to 3 in the region of its contact arrangement in two phases during the switching-off process and FIGS. 6 to 8 show three variants of the design of a current-dependent valve which is used in the compressed gas circuit breakers according to FIGS .
Wie die Figuren 1 bis 3 zeigen, besteht der Druckgaslei- stungsschalter im wesentlichen aus zwei auf einer gemeinsamen
Achse angeordneten stiftförmigen Schaltstücken 1, 2, die aber auch rohrförmig ausgebildet sein können, einem diese koaxial umgebenden, im eingeschalteten Zustand die Schaltstücke überbrückenden, axial verschiebbaren Kontaktstück 3, einem dazu konzentrisch angeordneten ersten Heizraum 4, derAs FIGS. 1 to 3 show, the compressed gas circuit breaker essentially consists of two on a common one Axially arranged pin-shaped contact pieces 1, 2, which can also be tubular, a coaxially surrounding this, in the switched-on state bridging the contact pieces, axially displaceable contact piece 3, a concentrically arranged first heating chamber 4, the
Hauptstrombahn 5 mit dem feststehenden Nennstromkontakt 6 sowie dem beweglichen Nennstromkontakt 7 und aus der Kompressionseinrichtung 8 mit dem Kompressionskolben 9.Main current path 5 with the fixed nominal current contact 6 and the movable nominal current contact 7 and out of the compression device 8 with the compression piston 9.
Während die Figur 1 den Druckgasleiεtungsschalter in der1 shows the pressure gas line switch in the
Einschaltstellung zeigt, nimmt in Figur 2 die Kontaktanordnung eine Stellung ein, in der nach vorangegangener Öffnung der Hauptstrombahn 5 bereits nach anschließendem Trennen des Gleitkontaktes 10 des Kontaktstückes 3 von dem Schaltstück 1 die erste Trennstrecke 11 gebildet ist. Figur 3 zeigt den Druckgasleistungsschalter in der Ausschaltstellung.In the switched-on position, the contact arrangement in FIG. 2 assumes a position in which, after the main current path 5 has been opened, the first isolating path 11 is formed after the sliding contact 10 of the contact piece 3 has been separated from the contact piece 1. Figure 3 shows the compressed gas circuit breaker in the off position.
Ausgehend von dieser grundsätzlichen Ausbildung des Druckgasleistungsschalters steht nunmehr das Kontaktstück 3 über eine aus Isoliermaterial bestehende, eine Blasöffnung 12 besitzende Schottwand 13 mit dem den beweglichen Nennεtromkontakt 7 tragenden Bereich der Hauptstrombahn 5 und damit mit dem axial verschiebbaren Kompressionskolben 9 fest in Verbindung. Der Raum hinter der Schottwand 13 ist durch eine koaxial zur Schalterachse 14 verlaufende Trennwand 15 in einen Heizraum 16 und einen Schaltraum 17 unterteilt. Während der Heizraum 16 praktisch als zweiter Heizraum mit dem ersten Heizraum 4 über eine Öffnung 18 in der Schottwand 13 in Verbindung steht und somit ein zusätzliches Heizvolumen bildet, ist die Trennwand 15 einerseits mit der Schottwand 13 und andererseits mit dem Kompressionskolben 9 fest verbunden und nimmt einen den Schaltraum 17 in zwei Teilräume 19, 20 unterteilenden Ringkolben 21, der mit dem zweiten Schaltstück 2 fest verbunden ist, axial verschiebbar auf. Dabei steht der Ringkolben 21 unter der Wirkung einer im Teilraum 20 ange-
ordneten Druckfeder. Wie weiterhin aus den zeichnerischen Darstellungen hervorgeht, steht der Kompressionskolben 9 über einem Gleitkontakt 23 mit dem Schaltstück 2 in Verbindung und die zweite Trennstrecke 24 wird nach Öffnung der Blasöffnung 12 durch ein stromabhängiges Ventil nach Öffnung der ersten Trennstrecke 11 durch das Schaltstück 2 sowie den Gleitkontakt 26 des axial verschiebbaren Kontaktstückes 3 gebildet.On the basis of this basic design of the compressed gas circuit breaker, the contact piece 3 is now firmly connected via a bulkhead 13 consisting of insulating material and having a blowing opening 12 with the area of the main current path 5 carrying the movable nominal current contact 7 and thus with the axially displaceable compression piston 9. The space behind the bulkhead 13 is divided into a boiler room 16 and a control room 17 by a partition wall 15 which runs coaxially to the switch axis 14. While the boiler room 16 is practically a second boiler room with the first boiler room 4 through an opening 18 in the bulkhead 13 and thus forms an additional heating volume, the partition 15 is on the one hand with the bulkhead 13 and on the other hand with the compression piston 9 firmly connected and takes an annular piston 21, which divides the switching space 17 into two partial spaces 19, 20 and is firmly connected to the second switching piece 2, on axially displaceable. The annular piston 21 is under the action of a arranged compression spring. As can further be seen from the drawings, the compression piston 9 is connected to the switching element 2 via a sliding contact 23 and the second isolating section 24 is opened after the blowing opening 12 by a current-dependent valve after opening the first isolating section 11 through the switching element 2 and the sliding contact 26 of the axially displaceable contact piece 3 is formed.
Soll ausgehend von dieser Ausbildung des Druckgasleistungs- Schalters ein Ausschaltvorgang durchgeführt werden, so wird zunächst die Hauptstrombahn geöffnet. Bei ausreichendem Abstand der Nennstromkontakte 6, 7 öffnet die erste Trennstrecke 11 und es wird der Lichtbogen 27 gezogen. Dieser heizt das Gas im Heizraum 4, der durch die Isolierstof fdύse 28 mit ihrem Strömungskanal begrenzt wird, auf, so daß der Druck des Gases steigt und da die Blasόffnung 12 durch das stromabhängige Ventil zunächst verschlossen ist, weiter aufgebaut wird. Nähert sich der Abschaltstrom dem Stromnulldurchgang, so läßt die Kraftwirkung auf das stromabhängige Ventil 25 nach und die Blasöffnung 12 zum Teilraum 17 des Schaltraumes 19 wird freigegeben. Damit strömt das Gas aus dem Heizraum 4 und somit auch aus dem zusätzlichen Heizraum 16 m den Teilraum 19, beaufschlagt den Ringkolben 21 und betätigt diesen und damit das zweite Schaltstück 2 unter Öff- nung der zweiten Trennstrecke 24 zwischen dem Schaltstück 2 und dem Kontaktstück 3. Da der Strom, der aus dem Lichtbogen 27 der ersten Trennstrecke 11 resultiert, zu diesem Zeitpunkt im Bereich des Nulldurchgangs liegt, muß das Löschvermögen der zweiten Trennstrecke 24 nicht sehr hoch sein. Ober die Öffnung 30 im Kompressionskolben 9 kann aus der Kompressionseinrichtung 8 auch zusätzlich Löschgas bereitgestellt werden.If a switch-off process is to be carried out based on this configuration of the compressed gas power switch, the main current path is first opened. If the nominal current contacts 6, 7 are at a sufficient distance, the first isolating path 11 opens and the arc 27 is drawn. This heats up the gas in the heating chamber 4, which is delimited by the isolating nozzle 28 with its flow channel, so that the pressure of the gas increases and, since the blow opening 12 is initially closed by the current-dependent valve, is further built up. If the cut-off current approaches the current zero crossing, the force effect on the current-dependent valve 25 decreases and the blowing opening 12 to the subspace 17 of the control room 19 is released. The gas thus flows out of the heating chamber 4 and thus also out of the additional heating chamber 16 m into the partial chamber 19, acts on the annular piston 21 and actuates this and thus the second switching element 2 with the opening of the second isolating section 24 between the switching element 2 and the contact element 3 At this time, since the current resulting from the arc 27 of the first isolating section 11 is in the region of the zero crossing, the extinguishing capacity of the second isolating section 24 need not be very high. Extinguishing gas can also be provided from the compression device 8 via the opening 30 in the compression piston 9.
Damit wird durch die Erfindung ein gesteuertes Schalten im Stromnulldurchgang unabhängig von der jeweiligen Eigenzeit
des Druckgasleistungsschalters bei geringer Antriebsenergie geleistet. Dabei wird nicht nur eine zuverlässige Wiederverfestigung der Trennstrecke erzielt, sondern die durch die Erfindung beabsichtigten Wirkungen werden ohne bauliche Vergrό- ßerung des Druckgasleistungsschalters erreicht.The invention thus makes controlled switching in the zero-current crossing independent of the respective proper time of the compressed gas circuit breaker with low drive energy. Not only is a reliable re-consolidation of the separating section achieved, but the effects intended by the invention are achieved without a constructional enlargement of the compressed gas circuit breaker.
Diese Wirkungen werden auch bei dem Druckgasleistungsschalter gemäß der Ausbildung nach Figur 4 und 5 erreicht. Während aus Figur 4 die während eines Ausschaltvorganges eingenommene Schaltstellung ersichtlich ist, in der bereits die ersteThese effects are also achieved with the compressed gas circuit breaker according to the design according to FIGS. 4 and 5. While the switching position assumed during a switch-off process can be seen from FIG. 4, in which the first one
Trennstrecke 11 wirksam ist, zeigt Figur 5 den Druckgasleistungsschalter in der Schaltstellung, in der bereits die zweite Trennstrecke 24 geöffnet ist. Dieser Druckgasleistungsschalter unterscheidet sich von dem gemäß Figur 1 bis 3 im wesentlichen dadurch, daß das stromabhängige Ventil unmittelbar an dem mit dem Schaltstück 2 fest verbundenen Ringkolben 21 in Höhe der Blasöffnung 12 der Schottwand 13 befestigt ist und daß der Ringkolben 21 und damit auch das Schaltstück 2 axial verschiebbar von dem den beweglichen Nennstromkontakt 7 tragenden Bereich der Hauptstrombahn 5 aufgenommen wird.5, the compressed gas circuit breaker is in the switch position in which the second separation section 24 is already open. This compressed gas circuit breaker differs from that according to Figures 1 to 3 essentially in that the current-dependent valve is attached directly to the annular piston 21 fixed to the switching element 2 at the level of the blowing opening 12 of the bulkhead 13 and that the annular piston 21 and thus also the switching element 2 is axially displaceably received by the area of the main current path 5 which carries the movable nominal current contact 7.
Das stromabhängige Ventil 25 gemäß Figur 1 bis 5 kann sowohl ein die Stromkräfte ausnutzendes stromabhängiges Ventil 31 als auch ein Ventil 32, 33 sein.The current-dependent valve 25 according to FIGS. 1 to 5 can be both a current-dependent valve 31 that uses the current forces and a valve 32, 33.
Gemäß dem die Stromkräfte ausnutzenden stromabhängigen Ventil 31 nach Figur 6 ist eine aus ferromagnetischem Material bestehende Abdeckplatte 34 oberhalb der Blasöffnung 12 verschiebbar angeordnet, die durch Druckfedern 35 zur durch die Schaltstücke 1, 2 und durch das Kontaktstück 3 gebildetenAccording to the current-dependent valve 31 utilizing the current forces, a cover plate 34 made of ferromagnetic material is displaceably arranged above the blowing opening 12, which is formed by compression springs 35 for the switching elements 1, 2 and the contact piece 3
Strombahn 36 abgestützt und durch einen Anschlag 37 begrenzt ist .
Das aus Figur 7 ersichtliche stromabhängige Ventil 32 nutzt die Kräfte, die zwischen zwei ferromagnetischen Körpern in einem Magnetfeld entstehen, aus. Daher stehen sich hier in Höhe der Blasόffnung 12 zwei aus einem ferromagnetischen Material bestehende Abdeckplatten 38, 39 gegenüber, die ebenfalls durch Druckfedern 40 gegeneinander abgestützt sind. Sowohl dieses stromabhängige Ventil 33 als auch das nach Figur 6 ist besonders geeignet, wenn das stromabhängige Ventil am Ringkolben 21 angeordnet werden soll.Current path 36 is supported and limited by a stop 37. The current-dependent valve 32 shown in FIG. 7 uses the forces that arise between two ferromagnetic bodies in a magnetic field. Therefore there are two cover plates 38, 39 made of a ferromagnetic material at the level of the blow opening 12, which are also supported against one another by compression springs 40. Both this current-dependent valve 33 and that according to FIG. 6 are particularly suitable if the current-dependent valve is to be arranged on the annular piston 21.
Das stromabhängige Ventil 33 nach Figur 8 nutzt ebenfalls die Kräfte aus, die zwischen zwei ferromagnetischen Körpern in einem Magnetfeld entstehen. Bei diesem stromabhängigen Ventil 33 ist konzentrisch zur Blasöffnung innerhalb der Schottwand 13 ein aus ferromagnetischem Material bestehender Rahmen vorgesehen. Auf der dem Heizraum 4 des Druckgasleistungsschalters abgewandten Seite ist weiterhin vor der Blasöffnung 12 eine aus ferromagnetischem Material bestehende Abdeckplatte 42 angeordnet, die von an der Schottwand 13 befestigten Stä- ben geführt ist und durch Druckfedern 44 gegen die Schottwand 13 abgestützt wird. Unter Zwischenschaltung eines Federkörpers 45 wird die Bewegung der aus ferromagnetischem Material bestehenden Abdeckplatte 42 durch einen Anschlag 46 begrenzt, wie aus den Figuren 1 bis 3 hervorgeht.The current-dependent valve 33 according to FIG. 8 also uses the forces that arise between two ferromagnetic bodies in a magnetic field. In this current-dependent valve 33, a frame made of ferromagnetic material is provided concentrically with the blowing opening within the bulkhead 13. On the side facing away from the heating chamber 4 of the compressed gas circuit breaker, a cover plate 42 made of ferromagnetic material is furthermore arranged in front of the blowing opening 12, which is guided by rods fastened to the bulkhead wall 13 and is supported against the bulkhead wall 13 by compression springs 44. With the interposition of a spring body 45, the movement of the cover plate 42 made of ferromagnetic material is limited by a stop 46, as can be seen from FIGS. 1 to 3.
Unabhängig davon, wie die stromabhängigen Ventile 31, 32, 33 ausgebildet sind, wirken diese derart, daß sie die Blasöffnung 12 durch ihre aus ferromagnetischem Material bestehenden Abdeckplatten 34, 38, 39, 42 bedingt durch ihre Anziehung in der Hauptstromphase geschlossen halten. Sinkt jedoch derRegardless of how the current-dependent valves 31, 32, 33 are designed, they act in such a way that they keep the blow opening 12 closed due to their attraction in the main flow phase due to their cover plates 34, 38, 39, 42 made of ferromagnetic material. However, the
Abschaltεtrom auf einen bestimmten Wert, so daß die Kraft der Druckfeder 35, 40, 44 die Stromkräfte bzw. die zwischen zwei ferromagnetischen Körpern in einem Magnetfeld entstehenden Kräfte überwiegt, so wird die Blasόffnung 12 freigegeben. Bei der Ausbildung des stromabhängigen Ventiles 33 nach Figur 8
wird die Freigabe der Blasöffnung 12 noch durch den Druck des vom Heizraum 4 her anstehenden Gases unterstützt.
Shut-off current to a certain value, so that the force of the compression spring 35, 40, 44 outweighs the current forces or the forces arising between two ferromagnetic bodies in a magnetic field, the blow opening 12 is released. When forming the current-dependent valve 33 according to FIG. 8 the release of the blowing opening 12 is supported by the pressure of the gas coming from the heating chamber 4.
