- the term "assigned" in this context refers to an arrangement of the relevant
- FIG. 2 shows the two switching contacts 4, 5 in Area of the respective arc quenching chamber 7, 8.
- DC switching device 1 are arranged parallel to each other, as shown in Fig. 2.
- a plurality of quenching plates 9 are arranged in each case.
- the quenching plates 9 are preferably arranged substantially normal to the arc guide rail 18, wherein between the side by side mounted quenching plates 9 is in each case a distance.
- at least one quenching plate 9 of the first arc quenching chamber 7 is electrically conductively connected to a quenching plate 9 of the second arc quenching chamber 8, provided that a first and a second arc extinguishing chamber 7, 8 are provided.
- the quenching plates 9 are preferably formed from an electrically and magnetically conductive metal, preferably comprising iron. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the quenching plates 9 are formed substantially identical to each other. In particular, it may be provided that individual quenching plates 9 are formed larger than the vast majority of quenching plates 9. These quenching plates 9, which protrude from the overall composite of the quenching plates 9, in particular in a region next to the path of movement of the switching bridge 20 are arranged.
- At least a first quenching plate 27 of the quenching plates 9 is shaped, in particular bent such that - caused by a switching operation - arcs 11, in the first arc quenching chamber 7, a Lorentz force 12 in the direction of the quenching plates 9 acts.
- the first quenching plate 27 is here a quenching plate 9, which is formed differently from the other quenching plates 9. In this way, the - caused by a switching process - arcs 11 are driven in the direction of the quenching plates 9, whereby the energy of the arc 11 can dissipate quickly.
- the first quenching plate 27 may delimit a quenching plate stack of the quenching plates 9 of the first arc quenching chamber 7. According to FIGS. 1, 3, 4 and 5 it can be provided that the first quenching plate 27 is arranged at one end of the quenching plate stack of the quenching plates 9.
- the first quenching plate 27 may be part of the particular
- the first arc splitter 27 is arranged at a first end of the splitter stack of quenching plates 9, which first end is arranged adjacent to a position switching bridge 20, which position the switching bridge 20 occupies when the switching bridge 20 of the switch contacts 4, 5 is disconnected. Thereby, the arc 11 can skip well on the first arc splitter 27, wherein the arc 11 is formed immediately after this skipping between the switching contact 4,5 and the first arc splitter 27.
- the first quenching plate 27 is arranged adjacent to a movement path of the switching bridge 20.
- Movement path of the switching bridge 20 is arranged. When opening the switching bridge 20, that part of the switching bridge 20, which is provided with the first moves
- Switching contact 4 and / or the second switching contact 5 to be in contact, along this trajectory of the switching bridge 20.
- the arc 11 therefore also initially moves along the trajectory of the switching bridge 20.
- the first quenching plate 27 has a receptacle 30, and that a contact abutment part 31 made of insulating material is arranged in the receptacle 30.
- the contact stop member 31 is in this case provided in particular a stop for form the switching bridge 20, so that it can be arranged immediately adjacent to the first splitter plate 27 in the open state.

- the local field strength can be increased by a U-shaped curved surface.
- the first quenching plate 27 can be divided by the U-shaped bent region into a first leg 28 and a second leg 29.
- DC switching device 1 is conductively connected. This can cause a current flow of the
- Arc 11 are discharged through the first arc splitter 27. Furthermore, it can be dispensed with the additional use of magnets, since the magnetic field, which can be generated by the current flow of the Lichbogens 11 itself, the Lorentz force 12. Another advantage is that the stronger the current intensity of the arc 11, and therefore the more dangerous the arc 11, the strength of the Lorentz force 12 also increases, and the arc 11 can be deleted quickly and reliably in the quenching plates 9.
- first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 may be provided that the first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first leg 28 of the U-shaped first
- Erase plate 27 is conductively connected to the electrical output 3.
- Quenching plate 27 is arranged substantially parallel to an adjacent arranged quenching plate 9. Thereby, a plane-parallel gap 32 between the second leg 29 and an adjacent arranged quenching plate 9 are formed.
- the arc 11 is pulled by the Lorentz force 12 in the gap 32, whereby the energy of the arc 11 can be well dissipated.
- Such a plane-parallel gap 32 can in particular cause a propagation direction 25 of the arc 11 away from the switching contacts 4, 5.
- the first leg 28 and the second leg 29 of the U-shaped first quenching plate 27 are arranged substantially parallel to each other. If one end of the arc 11 has jumped over the first bridge plate 27 during the switch-off operation, a particularly strong Lorentz force 12 can be formed in the direction of the quenching plates 9 by this arrangement, as shown in particular in FIG. 4.
- Fig. 1 shows a particularly preferred embodiment of this
- DC switching device 1 according to which a DC switching device 1 with at least one electrical input 2 and at least one electrical output 3, and at least a first switching contact 4 and a movable switching bridge 20 may be provided, wherein the DC switching device 1 further comprises an arc extinguishing arrangement 6, wherein the arc extinguishing arrangement 6 at least a first
- Arc quenching chamber 7, which has a plurality of quenching plates 9, wherein the first quenching plate 27 is U-shaped, wherein the first leg 28 of the U-shaped first quenching plate 27 is conductively connected to the electrical output 3, wherein the second leg 29 of the U-shaped first quenching plate 27 is arranged substantially parallel to an adjacent arranged quenching plate 9, wherein the first leg 28 and the second leg 29 of the U-shaped first quenching plate 27 are arranged substantially parallel to each other.
- a particularly advantageous behavior of the arc 11 can be effected.
- FIG. 4 shows the preferred embodiment in a first state of the arc 11, wherein one end of the arc 11 jumps from the switching bridge 20, which is in particular potential-free, to the first arc splitter 27, which is conductively connected to the electrical output 3.
- the first arc splitter 27 which is conductively connected to the electrical output 3.
- the current flow in the u-shaped region and in the first leg 28 in this case a magnetic field is generated, which causes a Lorentz force 12 in the direction of the quenching plates 9, and in particular away from the switching bridge 20.
- FIG. 5 essentially shows FIG. 4 in a second state of the arc 11, which second state substantially immediately follows the first state in FIG. 4. Due to the penetration of the arc 11 into the gap 32 between the second leg 29 and the adjacent splitter plate 9, a current flow in the second leg 29 forms, wherein the path of the current flow in the second leg 29 increases with increasing penetration depth of the arc 11 into the gap 32. This further strengthens the Lorentz force 12, which drives the arc into the quenching plates, as a result of which a particularly fast dissipation of the arc 11 can be achieved.
- the arc extinguishing arrangement 6 has a second arc quenching chamber 8, comprising a plurality of quenching plates 9, and that in the second arc quenching chamber 8 also a first quenching plate 27 is arranged.
- the first quenching plate 27 of the second arc quenching chamber 8 may be formed equal to the first quenching plate 27 of the first arc quenching chamber 7.
- the DC switching device 1 at least one
- Arc running rail 18 is part of the first arc quenching chamber 7. As a result, the arc 11 can be offered an electrotechnically attractive way.
- Switching contact 4 pulled away, which sweeps across the quenching stack away, and thereby each loses energy.
