Definitions

  • the invention relates to a medium-voltage multipolar rotary switch with a sealed envelope of revolution, filled with a gas with high dielectric strength, the internal periphery of which carries by pole a fixed input contact, a fixed output contact and a contact fixed earthing, which are angularly spaced and which cooperate with a contact bridge in the form of a pivoting knife, carried by a rotary control shaft which extends in the axis of the envelope, the different poles being staggered along said tree inside the envelope, and separated by transverse walls of longitudinal subdivision of the envelope, said tree being able to occupy selectively three positions; an open position, a closed position in which the contact bridge connects said input and output contacts, and a grounding position, in which said contact bridge connects said output and connection contacts the earth, said knife of each contact bridge consisting of two knife blades.
  • the object of the invention is to increase the contact force in the closed position, and to avoid repulsion at the clamps.
  • the switch according to the invention is characterized in that the two contact blades of said knife are arranged in parallel and are equipped with divergent ends to form at each end a movable contact clamp coming in the closed position enclosing the associated fixed contact which is arranged in contact area, that the two blades are elastically biased against each other, the approximation being limited, when the clamps are released from the fixed contacts by stops framing the central part of each blade, and when said central parts are in the engaged position of the clamps, with a small spacing to be the seat of electrodynamic forces of significant attraction when they are traversed by the current, this spacing being greater than the deflection generated by said forces to avoid coming into contact with the central parts of the two blades, said central parts being constituted by a notch formed in the blades.
  • the bringing together electrodynamic forces are thus used to reinforce the contact pressure.
  • the depth of the notch is sufficient to avoid any coming into contact during a deflection of the blades. According to a preferred embodiment, the depth of this notch is a few tenths of a millimeter, which makes it possible to conserve significant electrodynamic forces due to the small spacing of the central parts of the blades.
  • the envelope advantageously includes a weakened zone, which constitutes a preferential burst zone in the event of accidental overpressure inside the envelope.
  • This weakened zone is obtained by a reduction in the thickness of the envelope, in this case in the zone of junction of one of the bottoms with the wall of revolution.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic view in elevation and partially in axial section of a switch according to the invention, shown in the closed position.
  • Figures 2,3 and 4 are sections along line 2-2 of Figure 1 showing the switch respectively in position closed, open and grounded.
  • Figure 5 is a partial view on an enlarged scale of the knife according to Figure 1, shown in the open position.
  • Figure 6 is a view similar to that of Figure 5 showing the knife in the closed position.
  • the medium-voltage three-pole rotary switch comprises a sealed envelope 10, consisting of a tank 11 and a cover 12 of molded plastic, assembled along a joint plane 13.
  • the sealed envelope 10 of general shape cylindrical is subdivided into three compartments, by two transverse walls 14, and the assembly is filled with a gas with high dielectric strength such as sulfur hexafluoride, under atmospheric pressure or in overpressure.
  • the three poles R, S, T of the switch, each housed in one of the switch compartments, are identical, and only one of them is described in detail below.
  • Each pole has a fixed input contact 15, a fixed output contact 16 and a fixed earthing contact 17.
  • the fixed output contact 16 comprises a contact pad 18 diametrically opposite the contact pad 19 of the fixed input contact 15, and a fixed contact pad 20 diametrically opposite the fixed contact pad 21 of the earthing contact 17.
  • a movable contact bridge in the form of a rotary knife 22 is carried by a control shaft 23, extending in the axis of the casing 10 and one of the ends 24 of which crosses , in a sealed manner the envelope 10, to cooperate with an external control mechanism (not shown).
  • Each knife 22 consists of two blades 25, 26 arranged in parallel, and having divergent ends to form movable contact clamps 27.28 each cooperating with one of the fixed contacts 15,16,17.
  • the fixed input contact 15 is disposed in the bottom of the cover 12, and the latter carries an insulating partition 29, advantageously coming from molding, and extending substantially perpendicular to the joint plane 13, being interposed between the fixed input contact 15 and the earthing contact 17.
  • the insulating partition 29 is adjacent to the fixed input contact 15 and it extends to the periphery of the shaft. control 23, so as to limit the risks of bypass and initiation on the stud 21 of the earthing contact 17.
  • the partition 29 advantageously extends over the entire length of the compartment and its arrangement, next to the fixed contact entry 15 does not hamper the rotation of the knife 22.
  • openings 36 In the junction zone of the partition 29 and the transverse walls 14 of the compartment are formed openings 36, in the form of notches adjacent to the shaft 23, to allow internal circulation of gases and therefore regenerating the dielectric strength in the area of the grounding contact pad 17.
  • the envelope 10 advantageously includes a weakened bursting zone 30 in the event of an overpressure internal to the envelope 10.
  • This weakened zone is disposed in the connection zone of the cylindrical envelope 10, and of one of the bottoms 31, by being constituted by a simple groove reducing the thickness of the envelope.
  • This weakened zone 30 is preferably at in the vicinity of the fixed output contact 16, and it allows gases to escape to areas remote from the other poles.
  • FIGS. 1.5 and 6 it can be seen that the contact blades 25, 26 are urged against each other, by springs 32.
  • the bringing together of the blades 25, 26 is limited by stops 33 which frame the central part 34 of the blades 25, 26.
  • the clamps 27, 28 thus remain sufficiently open to engage the ranges of the fixed contacts during a closing movement.
  • the central parts 34 have a notch which confines a slot 35 for spacing the central parts of the blades 25, 26.
  • the width of this slot 35 is a few tenths of a millimeter and can reach one millimeter.
  • the clamps 27, 28 engage on the fixed contacts 15, 16 which force them apart against the force of the springs 32. It is clear that when the blades 25, 26 are traversed by the current flowing between the fixed input and output contacts 15, 16, these blades 25, 26 are subjected to electrodynamic forces of approach which participate in the contact pressure, and limit the risk of repulsion from these contacts.
  • the width of the slot 35 is chosen to be large enough to avoid any contact between the central parts 34 of the bent blades 25, 26. This absence of abutment keeps intact the contact force generated by the electrodynamic forces of attraction between the blades 25,26. These electrodynamic forces of attraction are slightly weaker than in the absence of a notch, but this reduction is acceptable.
