Sur la
L'enveloppe 1 comporte une partie cylindrique 8 réalisée en céramique fermée par deux capots d'extrémité 9,10 traversés respectivement par les deux électrodes précitées 4,5, lesdites électrodes étant supportées respectivement par deux extensions 11,12. L'ampoule 1 comporte également deux écrans conducteurs 13,14 reliés électriquement pour l'un 13, à l'électrode mobile 5 et pour l'autre 14 à l'électrode fixe 4, ces écrans étant situés au niveau de la jonction entre les capots d'extrémité 9,10 et la partie isolante en céramique 8 de l'enveloppe.The
L'ensemble constitué par la partie en céramique 8, les capots d'extrémité 9,10 ainsi que les interfaces 2,3 au moins en partie, est surmoulé par un matériau époxy 26 pour réaliser une isolation renforcée de ladite enveloppe. La partie extérieure de la partie surmoulée en époxy est métallisée et cette métallisation est mise à la terre de manière à constituer un blindage. Les interfaces à droite et à gauche 2,3 sont des surfaces non-métallisées et servent d'interface avec d'autres éléments d'appareillage ici non visualisés. Dans la couche de métallisation 15 de l'époxy, une première bande 16 de forme cylindrique est isolée du reste de la surface métallisée 15. Cette première bande 16 forme une capacité composée de deux capacités en séries 17,18. Tout d'abord, une première capacité dite du vide 17, placée entre l'électrode mobile 5 et la face intérieure 19 de la partie en céramique 8, et une capacité 18 dite des solides, placée entre la face intérieure 19 de la partie en céramique 8 et la bande de métallisation isolée dite première 16.The assembly consisting of the
Lorsqu'une perte de vide se produit à l'intérieur de l'ampoule, la tenue diélectrique entre l'électrode mobile 5 et la partie en céramique 8 se réduit et des amorçages court-circuitent la capacité du vide 17. Lorsque l'ampoule se trouve dans un réseau primaire électrique alimenté, ce changement dans la valeur de la capacité du vide, se traduit par un changement dans la valeur du courant circulant dans la bande isolée dite première 16.When a loss of vacuum occurs inside the bulb, the dielectric strength between the moving
Il est donc possible de surveiller l'état du vide de l'ampoule en mesurant la valeur de ce courant.It is therefore possible to monitor the state of the vacuum of the bulb by measuring the value of this current.
Or, dans ce dispositif, la valeur du courant varie faiblement avec la pression. Ainsi, cette mesure ne permet pas de faire une différence entre une perte de vide et un défaut à la terre dans le réseau primaire électrique.However, in this device, the value of the current varies slightly with the pressure. Thus, this measurement does not make it possible to make a difference between a loss of vacuum and a ground fault in the primary electrical network.
Une ampoule selon une seconde réalisation de l'invention telle que représentée sur la
Dans cette seconde réalisation, l'ampoule A comporte les mêmes éléments que ceux déjà décrits dans la réalisation précédente, mais une seconde bande 20 d'une couche de la métallisation 15 est isolée du reste de la surface métallisée. Cette seconde bande 20 est située autour de celui 13 des écrans conducteurs précités 13,14 qui est situé du côté opposé à l'électrode fixe 4, et qui est donc relié électriquement à l'électrode mobile 5. Cette seconde bande 20 crée une capacité 25 dite troisième entre ladite bande 20 et ledit écran 13 relié électriquement à l'électrode mobile 5.In this second embodiment, the bulb A comprises the same elements as those already described in the previous embodiment, but a
Cette capacité 25 est dimensionnée de telle manière que sa valeur soit égale à la valeur de la capacité constituée par les deux capacités 17,18 en série. Chacune de ces deux bandes 16,20 est reliée électriquement à la terre T (à indiquer sur les figures) par une impédance 29,30 ici représenté par un condensateur. Aux bornes de ces deux impédances 29,30, un circuit à impédance 21 comportant un interrupteur différentiel 22 est relié. Ainsi, en présence d'une fuite à l'intérieur de l'ampoule, une tension différentielle est crée entre les deux bandes 16,20 aux bornes de ces impédances 29,30. Cette tension est nulle ou proche de zéro dans le cas d'un bon état du vide à l'intérieur de l'ampoule car les courants qui circulent dans les deux bandes 16,20 sont quasi identiques. Par contre, en présence d'une perte de vide à l'intérieur de l'ampoule A, la tenue diélectrique entre l'électrode mobile 5 et la partie en céramique 8 diminue et des amorçages se produisent qui court-circuitent la capacité du vide 17. Ce changement dans la valeur de la capacité du vide 17 se traduit par un changement dans la valeur du courant circulant dans la première bande 16. Cette différence entre les courants circulant respectivement dans les deux bandes 16,20 produit une tension entre les deux bandes, cette tension différentielle permettant d'alimenter un circuit électronique 21 commandant l'ouverture de l'interrupteur différentiel précité 22.This
Le circuit électronique 21 contient un circuit de charge par accumulation qui est suffisamment lent pour ne pas réagir aux surtensions transitoires dans le réseau électrique primaire, mais qui est assez rapide pour agir dans les heures ou dans la journée qui suivent la perte de vide.The
Cette période est inférieure à la durée des amorçages à l'intérieur de l'ampoule qui dépendent de la taille de la fuite, tel qu'illustré sur la
Un thyristor décharge l'énergie dans un interrupteur différentiel dans le but de provoquer un changement d'état qui gardera en mémoire la perte de vide de l'ampoule même si celle-ci n'est plus alimentée par le réseau primaire.A thyristor discharges the energy in a differential switch in order to cause a change of state that will keep in memory the loss of vacuum bulb even if it is no longer fed by the primary network.
Ainsi, cette mesure différentielle permet de séparer les informations liées à la tension du réseau de celles liées à l'état du vide dans l'ampoule dans le but de mesurer exclusivement un signal lié à la perte de vide dans l'ampoule.Thus, this differential measurement makes it possible to separate the information related to the mains voltage from those related to the state of the vacuum in the bulb in order to exclusively measure a signal related to the loss of vacuum in the bulb.
On s'affranchit ainsi du niveau de la tension aux électrodes par une mesure différentielle. Sur la
Le second signai 24 représente le changement d'état de l'interrupteur différentiel où l'état 0 représente la position fermée et l'état 1 représente la position ouverte, lequel changement d'état sera visible à tout moment après.The
Ce dispositif de détection permet de donner une visibilité de l'état de l'ampoule lors de l'intervention auprès de l'appareillage même en l'absence de tension aussi bien du réseau primaire de l'ampoule que du réseau secondaire dans le poste.This detection device makes it possible to give a visibility of the state of the bulb during the intervention with the equipment even in the absence of voltage of both the primary network of the bulb and the secondary network in the station .
On notera que la première bande 16 devra être placée en regard de la partie en céramique 8 et en regard de l'électrode mobile 5 ou de l'électrode fixe 4. La seconde bande 20 pour sa part, devra être située en regard de l'un des écrans conducteurs 13,14 et donc, de soit l'électrode mobile 5, soit l'électrode fixe 4.It will be noted that the
De préférence, lorsqu'il y a deux bandes, la seconde bande 20 doit se situer en face de l'écran relié à l'électrode mobile.Preferably, when there are two bands, the
La seconde bande 20 exerce une compensation du signal en absence d'une fuite en position fermée des contacts, c'est-à-dire que dans ce cas, les courants circulant dans les deux bandes sont sensiblement identiques, telque ceci est illustré sur la
En effet, dans le cas 3 de la
Pour pallier ce problème, on règlera la largeur de la première bande de façon que celle-ci ne dépasse pas 20mm, afin d'obtenir un signal d'une valeur de courant de 10µA environ pour un ratio Signal/Bruit de 10dB. Ceci permet d'améliorer la sélectivité au détriment du signal. En dessous de 20 mm, la nuisance sera inférieure à -10dB pour un signal proche de 10µA tel qu'illustré sur la
Sur cette figure en effet, la courbe a représente le signal en µA en fonction de la largeur de la première bande en mm, et les courbes b et c représentent respectivement les ratios Bruit/Signal en cas de contact mobile ouvert avec une alimentation électrique uniquement du contact mobile ou du contact fixe, et ceci en fonction de la largeur de la première bande. Selon la réalisation illustrée sur la
Grâce à cette troisième bande 27, il est formé entre ladite troisième bande 27 et le second écran 14, une quatrième capacité 28. Cette bande permet de compenser les signaux parasites provoqués par la petite capacité 33, entre la première bande 16 et l'écran 14. Les capacités dite troisième 25 et quatrième 28 sont dimensionnées de telle manière que la valeur de capacité totale qu'elles forment, étant reliées en parallèle, soit égale à la valeur de capacité formée par l'ensemble constitué par les deux capacités 17,18 reliées en série, ces deux capacités 17,18 étant reliées en parallèle avec la capacité 33.With this
Dans cette réalisation, les seconde et troisième bandes précitées sont reliées électriquement en un même point, où les courants dits second et troisième circulant respectivement dans ces deux bandes s'additionnent pour donner un courant dit quatrième. Le dispositif comporte alors des moyens de mesure de la tension différentielle entre le courant circulant dans la première bande, dit premier, et le courant dit quatrième précité. Cette tension différentielle pourra alors alimenter un circuit électronique tel que décrit dans la réalisation précédente, lequel circuit actionnera des moyens de signalisation.In this embodiment, the aforementioned second and third strips are electrically connected at one and the same point, where the so-called second and third currents flowing respectively in these two bands add up to give a so-called fourth current. The device then comprises means for measuring the differential voltage between the current flowing in the first band, says first, and the current says fourth aforesaid. This differential voltage can then feed an electronic circuit as described in the previous embodiment, which circuit will actuate signaling means.
L'avantage de cette troisième bande est d'améliorer la sensibilité de mesure dans le cas où les contacts 6 et 7 sont ouverts et une tension primaire est appliquée du côté du contact fixe 6.The advantage of this third band is to improve the measurement sensitivity in the case where the
Selon cette dernière réalisation, la largeur des bandes sera choisie de préférence de manière que la valeur du courant du signal soit supérieure à 16µA pour un ratio Signal/Bruit de 20dB. Ainsi, une compensation du signal sera obtenue même dans les cas ou le contact mobile est ouvert ou le contact fixe est ouvert dans l'ampoule.According to this last embodiment, the width of the strips will preferably be chosen so that the value of the signal current is greater than 16 μA for a Signal / Noise ratio of 20 dB. Thus, a signal compensation will be obtained even in cases where the movable contact is open or the fixed contact is open in the bulb.
Ainsi, selon cette réalisation, la détection d'une tension différentielle d'une certaine valeur sera représentative d'une fuite à l'intérieur de l'ampoule.Thus, according to this embodiment, the detection of a differential voltage of a certain value will be representative of a leak inside the bulb.
Ce dispositif est applicable à tout type d'ampoule comportant une enveloppe comportant une partie en céramique ou tout matériau présentant des caractéristiques diélectriques similaires.This device is applicable to any type of bulb comprising an envelope comprising a ceramic part or any material having similar dielectric characteristics.
Par exemple ce dispositif est applicable à des ampoules telles des ampoules du type à écran flottant, la première bande devant être placée face à la céramique et face à l'électrode mobile ou fixe.For example, this device is applicable to bulbs such as floating-screen type bulbs, the first band to be placed facing the ceramic and facing the mobile or fixed electrode.
On notera également que l'interrupteur différentiel pourra être remplacé par d'autres dispositifs qui permettent de visualiser un changement d'état tel qu'un fusible ou un détonateur, un moyen de démagnétisation d'un aimant tel un Mi-top, et un moyen de décoloration d'une bande conductrice de matière organique, ...It will also be noted that the differential switch may be replaced by other devices that make it possible to display a change of state such as a fuse or a detonator, a means of demagnetizing a magnet such as a Mi-top, and a means of discoloration of a conductive strip of organic material, ...
