In the figure, 1 is a casing that constitutes a container;
A fixed contact 2 has a fixed contact 4 at one end of a fixed conductor 3, and a terminal screw 5 is provided at the other end so as to be connected to an external conductor (not shown).
A movable contact 6 has a movable contact 8 at the tip of a movable conductor 7 facing the fixed contact 4. 9
1 is an operating mechanism, which operates a movable contact 6 by operating a handle 10 protruding from the top surface of the housing 1, and places the fixed contact 4 and the movable contact 8 in the closed state as shown in FIG. 1 or in the second state. Operate in the open state as shown in the figure, or overcurrent trip device 11
By this action, the closed state shown in FIG. 1 is automatically changed to the open state shown in FIG. 3.

Reference numeral 12 denotes a connecting conductor provided with a terminal screw 13 so as to be connected to an external conductor (not shown), and the electrical path is fixed conductor 3 - fixed contact 4 - movable contact 8 - movable conductor 7 - overcurrent draw. Removal device 11 - connection conductor 1
It is formed like 2. If an overcurrent flows in the closed state shown in Fig. 1, the overcurrent tripping device 1
1 acts and the operation of the operating mechanism 9 causes the movable conductor 7 to move and open, thereby cutting off the current.
14 is an arc extinguishing plate, and 15 is an exhaust hole provided in the housing 1.

Next, the behavior of the arc that occurs when the circuit or breaker interrupts the current flow will be explained.

Now, when the movable contact 8 and the fixed contact 4 are in contact, the power is transferred from the power source to the fixed conductor 3, the fixed contact 4, the movable contact 8, and the movable conductor 7.
is supplied to the load side via. When a large current such as a short circuit current flows into this circuit in this state, the movable contact 8 is separated from the fixed contact 4 as described above. At this time, an arc 16 (FIG. 4) is generated between the fixed and movable contacts 4 and 8, and an arc voltage is generated between the fixed and movable contacts 4 and 8. This arc voltage increases as the separation distance of the movable contact 8 from the fixed contact 4 increases, and at the same time, the arc 16 is attracted and expanded in the direction of the arc extinguishing plate 14 by magnetic force. It rises further.

In this way, the arc current reaches a current zero point and the arc 16 is extinguished, completing the shearing. During such disconnection and disconnection operations, the arc 16 causes a short period of time between the movable contact 8 and the fixed contact 4.
In other words, a large amount of energy is generated within a few milliseconds. Therefore, the temperature of the gas inside the housing 1 rises and the pressure also rises rapidly, but this high-temperature, high-pressure gas is released into the atmosphere from the exhaust hole 15 formed in the housing.

In the operation of a circuit or disconnector as described above, arc resistance R is generally given by the following formula. In other words, R = ρ/S where R: arc resistance (Ω) ρ: arc resistivity (Ω・cm): arc length (cm) S: arc cross-sectional area (cm 2 ) However, generally large scales of several kA or more In a short arc 16 with a current and an arc length of 50 mm or less, the arc space is occupied by metal particles. Moreover, this release of metal particles occurs in a direction perpendicular to the contact surface. Further, the ejected metal particles have a temperature near the boiling point of the metal at the contact point at the time of ejection, and furthermore, as soon as they are injected into the arc space, they are heated to high temperature and high pressure by being injected with electrical energy. As shown in FIG. 4, this arc 16 spreads into the space between the fixed contact 4 and the movable contact 8.

If the contacts 4 and 8 are exposed to such conditions for a long time, the contacts 4 and 8 will melt and the inner wall surface of the casing 1 will be burnt out, resulting in deterioration of the insulation resistance. For this reason, an arc runner 17 is disposed at the tip of the fixed conductor 3 as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. This is to quickly transfer the leg of the arc 16 generated between the contacts 4 and 8 on the fixed contact 4 side to the arc runner 17, thereby making it easier to quickly attract the arc 16 to the arc extinguishing plate 14. It is the main purpose.

However, in the above method, the arc dislocation does not occur quickly, and the above-mentioned drawbacks occur, namely, the contact points 4,
However, there were drawbacks such as melting of the casing 8 and deterioration of the insulation resistance of the casing 1.

In addition, as another conventional example, for example,
As disclosed in No. 20348, by elastically contacting the terminal plate (fixed conductor) of a fixed contact with a leaf spring fixed to a grid (arc extinguishing plate),
There are known devices that stabilize the contact pressure between a fixed contact and a movable contact.

However, in this conventional example, since the terminal plate is separated from the grid, the arc does not displace quickly. That is, the leaf spring that contacts the terminal plate is provided on the opposite side of the terminal plate from the fixed contact, and is not configured to guide the arc toward the grid. For this reason, the arc generated between both contacts is difficult to extinguish, and as with the conventional example shown in FIG. 1, there are also disadvantages in that both contacts are worn out and the insulation resistance of the casing is deteriorated.

Its free end is bent into an L-shape, and the tip of the free end forms a narrow gap (approximately 1 mm) between the locus of movement of the tip of the movable conductor 7 (indicated by the dashed line A in FIG. 6). The two extend substantially parallel to each other,
It is in contact with the arc extinguishing plate 14 closest to the fixed conductor 3.

With the opening operation of the movable contactor 6, an arc 16 is generated between the contacts 4 and 8 as shown in FIG. 8A. This arc 16 is caused by the magnetic force of the arc extinguishing plate 14,
Alternatively, due to the electromagnetic force of the current flowing through the fixed conductor 3, it begins to extend in the direction of the arc extinguishing plate 14, but at this time, since the arc runner 22 is provided as described above, the arc spot on the fixed contact 4 is quickly removed. It moves onto the arc runner 22 and then onto the arc extinguishing plate 14 closest to the fixed conductor 3. The arc 16 is generated between the nearest arc extinguishing plate 14 and the movable contact 8 as shown in FIG. It is strongly affected by the magnetic force of the plate 14, and is attracted and stretched extremely quickly, as shown in Fig. 8C.
The arc length becomes longer as shown in . Thereafter, the arc voltage increases at the current zero point, the arc 16 is extinguished, and the burnout is completed.

Here, an arc runner 22 is attached to the tip of the fixed conductor 3.
and the free end of the arc runner 22,
Since the fixed conductor 3 is brought into contact with the arc-extinguishing plate 14 closest to it, the arc 16 generated between the contacts 4 and 8 is transferred very quickly to the arc-extinguishing plate 14 via the arc runner 22, reducing wear and tear on the contact 4. In addition, since the arc 16 is attracted to the arc extinguishing plate 14 very quickly and the arc 16 is less likely to approach the operating mechanism 9 inside the housing 1, deterioration of insulation resistance is reduced, and the arc 16 is drawn very quickly to the arc extinguishing plate 14. Since the arc 16 is attracted by the arc extinguishing plate 14, the arc 16 is expanded to a large extent and has excellent breakability.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, according to this invention, the free end of the arc runner fixed to the tip of the fixed conductor is extended so as to approach the motion locus of the tip of the movable contact, and the free end is Since the contact point is brought into contact with the arc-extinguishing plate closest to the fixed conductor, the arc is driven and extended quickly, reducing wear on the fixed contact and deterioration of the insulation resistance inside the casing, and improving the shearing performance. It is possible to provide circuit breakers and disconnectors that can be improved.
