HAAAmv For Ava/J m mm HWENYEYI United States Patent 3,108,168 DEVICE FUR AIR BLAST CHQCUHT BREAKER Hnahon Forwald, Ludvilra, Sweden, assignor to Alhnanua Svensha Elehtrislra Aktieholaget, Vasteras, Sweden, :1 Swedish corporation Filed Aug. 28, 1961, Scr. No. 134,462 Claims priority, application Sweden Sept. 7, 196% 1 Claim. (Cl; 200-148) My invention relates to air blast circuit breakers which include main interrupting contacts and auxiliary con- 'tacts for a resistor connected in parallel with the main interrupting contacts wherein the resistor housing within the compressed gas housing, the contacts being arranged so that an air blast first passes the resistor contacts and thereafiter passes the main interrupter contact during interrupter operations.
Air blast circuit breakers are well known to the art wherein the contact means serving the interrupting function is contained within a conductive housing which contains suificient compressed air for at least one interruption operation. A blast valve is opened during theseparation of the interrupter contacts to permit an air blast to move past the separating contacts. To control the contact voltages during contact operation it is common to arrange a resistor in parallel with the main interrupter contact where the resistor is provided with auxiliary contacts which normally connect the resistor in parallel with the main interrupter contacts and disconnect the resistor latter the main contacts disengage.
Several arrangements have been proposed in the prior art whereby blast air is directed at the resistor contacts to aid in the extinguisl'lmen-t of any small are that may be drawn by these contacts. The present invention provides a novel arrangement for the resistor and its contacts whereby the resistor is arranged within the gas filled container to achieve a substantial saving in space while the resistor contacts are arranged upstream of the main interrupter contact. Thus, air blast first flows past the resistor contacts and thereafter through the main contacts. Hence, an air blast is already established when the resistor contacts are opened after the main contacts open. Moreover, and to further aid in the efiiciency of extinguishing the are drawn at a resistor contact, the contacts are placed immediately adjacent the inlet opening between the interruption chamber containing the main contacts and the main-pressure gas container.
Accordingly, a primary object of this invention is to provide a novel interrupter structure for high voltage circuit breakers.
Another object or" this invention is to provide a novel gas blast interrupter structure wherein resistors are carried within the high pressure gas container.
A further object of this invention is to provide a novel are extinguishing structure using high pressure gas wherein resistor contacts are upstream of main interruption contact and the resistor is contained within the high pressure housing.
These and other objects of the present invention shall readily become apparent after reading the following description of the accompanying drawings in which:
FIGURE 1 shows a side plan view of a circuit breaker constructed in accordance with the present invention.
FIGURE 2 is a side View of FIGURE 1 partially in cross-section to illustrate the manner in which the resistors are carried within the gas containing chamber.
FIGURE 3 is a cross-sectional view of the interrupting chamber of FIGURES 1 and 2.
Referring now to FIGURES 1 and 2, a high pressure gas container of conductive material is supported by a single pillar insulator 11 with respect tov a ground support structure. The high pressure gas container 10 331%,158 Patented Get. 22, less carries a first and second interrupter chamber 12 and 13 at the bottom thereof in the manner illustrated where each communicates with container 10.
Two resistors M and 15 are then mounted Within container 19 in the novel manner illustrated in FIGURES 1 and 2 where resistor 14 operates in conjunction with interrupter 12 while resistor 15 operates in conjunction with interrupter chamber 13. That is to say, resistor 14 is connectable in parallel with the main contacts of interrupter 12 while the resistor 15 is connectable in parallel with the main contacts of interrupter chamber 13.
' As is illustrated in FIGURE 2, the resistors such as resistor 14 have their upper end mechanically and electrically secured to conductive container 10 while the lower end of each of the resistors is terminated by a stationary contact such as stationary contact 16 of resistor 14 of FIGURE 2. Stationary contact 16 as well as a similar stationary contact of resistor 15 is disposed adjacent the chamber 13.
FIGURE 3 illustrates interrupter chamber 12 in crossseotion and is identical in structure to interrupter cham ber 13. Referring now to FIGURE 3, interrupter chamber 12 carries a main interrupter contact structure which includes a stationary contact 20 and a movable contact 21 which is movable into and out of engagement with respect to stationary contact 21? and has a central channel extending through.
The actual contact engagement between movable contact 2'1 and stationary contact 20 occurs between central stationary contact extending portion 20a and a plurality of contact fingers such as contact fingers 21a and 21b carried by movable contact 21 which are, for example, spring biased toward engagement with extension 20a.
The stationary contact 211 is carried at the end of an insulator 23 which is secured to the conductive housing of interrupter chamber 12 in the manner illustrated whereby, a conductor extending through insulator 23 serves a terminal 24 as shown in FIGURE 2. In a similar manner, the stationary contact container within housing 13 is carried by insulator 25 of FIGURE 2. and provides a terminal 26 at the end of insulator 25' whereby terminals 24 and 26 include the series connection of the main contacts contained within interrupters '12 and 13. It is to be noted that the conductive housing of chambers 12 and 13 are connected to the conductive material of chamber 10 to complete this series connection.
Returning to FIGURE 3, the outlet channel 22 within movable contact 21 is normally in communication with external air through channel 27 and stop valve 28. When the movable contact 21 is in the closed position shown in FlGURE 1, compressed air within container 10 and chamber 12 is prevented from flowing out of the chamber 12 by providing the movable contact 21 'with an annular cup-shaped portion 29 which is secured against a resilient disc 353a carried in stationary contact 219.
So long as the main movable contact 21 is in the closed position the auxiliary contact 18 will be in its upper en- (i for example is open only after the are drawn between contacts 21 and 2% is extinguished. The size'of orifice 36a is designed in conjunction with the operation of stop valve 23 wherebycontact 13 is moved toward its disengaged position while there is still a blast action proceediag but after the extinguishment of the arc between conpast contact 18 due to the replenishment of air from gaged position since volume 35 will be filled with'the high pressure gas within container 12 which is sufiicient to overcome the bias of spring 34. Moreover, the volume 36 is in communication with open air through the outlet channel 22, channel 27 and the open stop valve 28 whereby the only forces acting on piston 32 are the compressed air forces underneath piston 32 and the spring 34 on the top of piston 32. H
The main contact 21 is moved to the disengaged position when high pressure air is applied to conduit 40. The application or" high pressure air to conduit 46' will move piston 36 to the right and thus move the'contact 21 to the right and toward the disengaged position. The high pressure air within container 12 as well as container 1% will then move through the outlet channel 22 with blast type action and thence through the channel 27 and the open valve 28.
Before movable contact 21 moves toward the disencontainer it to container 12..
In order to now close the circuit breaker after the circuit breaker has been opened conduit 4%? is connected to the open air whereby pressure on the right of piston 34 is relieved and the piston is moved to the left under the gaged position, the orifice 36a is in communication with the open air through valve 42 and prior to the time that member 41 moves into this valve 42. When movable contact 21 moves to the right, the compressed air within container 12 can communicate with volume 36 through orifice 36a whereby the pressure on the opposing surfaces of piston 32 begins to equalize. When the pressure on the upper surface of piston 32 reaches some predetermined value, the piston 32. moves downwardly to withdraw auxiliary movable contact 18 from its cooperating contact such as contact 16 ofFiGURE 2. When the piston 32 reaches its lowermost point it will be noted .that
I pressures on either side of the piston are substantially equal so that the contact 18 is held in a disengaged position by virtue of the spring 34.
At the same instant that the maincontact 2:1 is opened the blast airfrom container 1 begins to flow out through channel 22. This compressed air is taken past the auxiliary contacts 18 and 16 which remain closed for some short interval determined by the size of orifice 36a, Whereby the damping resistance circuit formed by resistor 14,
, biasing action of spring 31 to close contacts 2% and 21.
During this movement of piston 30 channel 44 is covered and channel &7 is opened to the external air through the cylinder which contains piston 3b. This permits the reopening of valve member 4 1 under the action of spring 34. At the same time orifice 36a is sealed with respect to the interior of chamber 12 and is exposed to open air through the valve 23 whereby the compressed air within chamber 36 is released and the contact 18 is moved to the engaged position shown in FIGURE 3 after the contacts 2& and 21 have engaged.
in the foregoing, I have described my invention only in connection with preferred embodiments thereof. Many variations and modifications of the principles of my invention within the scope of the description herein are obvious. Accordingly, I prefer to be bound not by the specific disclosure herein but only by the appended claim.
I claim:
An air blast circuit breaker comprising an electrically conductive pressure air container, an interrupter chamber secured to said container, said interrupter chamber having a free volume substantially less than that of said pressure air container, a restricted inlet opening from the container into the chamber, said container thereby holding the main body of pressure air contained by said container and said chamber together, insulating support means for supporting said container and insulating it from earth, said interrupting chamber having a first pair of cooperable contacts therein, a resistor arranged in said container, a second pair. of cooperable contacts in said container connected in series with said resistor, said second pair of contacts and resistor being connected in parallel with said first pair of contacts, said second pair of contacts being arranged immediately adjacent to said inlet opening, said interrupter chamber having a blast valve therein for permitting a blast of air from said container successively past said pairs of cooperable contacts.
