Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a circuit breaker for high-voltage currents.
  • circuit breakers for high-voltage currents must be actuated quickly and promptly.
  • the use of direct actuators of the electromechanical type would entail devices of unacceptable size; accordingly, systems for accumulating mechanical energy are generally used. Energy accumulation occurs over a few hundred seconds. Energy is then used and delivered over a few tens of milliseconds.
  • Main aim of the present invention is to provide a circuit breaker for high-voltage currents which allows to eliminate the complicated stroke multiplying mechanisms required to transmit motion to the movable parts of the pole of the circuit breaker.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a circuit breaker for high-voltage currents which allows to reduce the energy required to transmit motion to the movable contacts of said circuit breaker so as to improve its performance in terms of speed and promptness of intervention.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a circuit breaker for high-voltage currents with a pole having a smaller number of components, a reduced weight and, insulation levels being equal, smaller size.
  • a circuit breaker for high-voltage currents which comprises a vertical rod-like insulator, at least one arcing chamber arranged inside said insulator and containing fixed contacts and movable contacts, said movable contacts being connected to actuation means for opening and closing the circuit breaker, characterized in that it comprises first and second elastic means, for opening and for closing respectively, which are made of insulating material and are arranged inside said insulator, and means for actuating the circuit breaker which are coupled to the base of said insulator.
  • the circuit breaker according to the invention comprises a pole which is constituted by an insulator 4, by fixed contacts 1 and by movable contacts 2.
  • An electric power tap 3 protrudes from the insulator and supports a movable contact holder 10 by means of an intermediate flange 11.
  • elastic means which are conveniently constituted by two springs 6 and 7, respectively for opening and for closure, which are made of insulating material.
  • the opening spring 6 one end is connected to a movable drive rod 5, which is also made of insulating material and which, by actuating the movable contacts 2, allows to open and close the circuit breaker, and the other end is fixed to the flange 11.
  • the closure spring 7 one end is coupled to sliding support means 12 which are connected, by means of a tube 13, to circuit breaker actuation means 8, and the other end is connected to the flange 11.
  • the tube 13 is coupled to the drive rod 5 through engagement means 16 which are fixed to the tube 13 and have a pawl that engages a slot formed in the rod 5.
  • the circuit breaker actuation means 8 comprise a gearmotor 31, a worm screw 36, two electrical engagement devices 34 and 35, and two engagement means 19 and 20 and are directly connected to the flange 9 of the insulator 4 by means of the flange 14. In this manner they are rigidly coupled to the base of the insulator 4.
  • the gearmotor 31 starts by means of the stroke limiter switch 32 and can reload the closure spring 7 which, at the end of its loading, engages the engagement means 19; the wheel of the gearmotor disengages from the worm screw 36 and the gearmotor stops due to the stroke limiter 33.
  • Opening of the contacts which can be performed if necessary also during the reloading of the closure spring, occurs by energizing the electromagnet 34. In this manner, the engagement means 20 are released and the opening spring 6, as it is released, pushes down the rod 5, which opens the contacts.
  • circuit breaker according to the invention it is possible to perform quick opening-closure-opening with the following sequence.
  • the engagement means 19 are released and the circuit breaker, as described above, closes. In this situation, the opening spring is loaded and the insulating rod 5 is engaged with the engagement means 20.
  • the circuit breaker By re-energizing the electromagnet 34, the circuit breaker reopens.
  • Auxiliary contacts 18 of the insulator are switched at each actuation.
  • FIG. 4 A second embodiment of the circuit breaker according to the invention is now described with reference to Figure 4.
  • the opening and closure springs now designated by the reference numerals 3 and 4 are contained in the insulator 5 of the pole of the circuit breaker and are made of insulating material.
  • one end is fixed to a flange 30 and the other end is fixed to an insulating rod 50 which, by actuating the movable contacts 2, allows to open and close the circuit breaker.
  • the closure spring 4 one end is fixed to the flange 30, while the other end is connected to a system constituted by a linkage 61 and a lever 62.
  • the actuating means comprise two electric engagement devices 39 and 41 and a gearmotor 42.
  • the closure spring 4 is loaded (compressed) and the opening spring 3 is released, energization of the electrical engagement device 40 releases the kinematic chain 62, 61 and 4.
  • the closure spring 4 is released and, by elongating, pushes the lever 62 which, by means of the linkage 63 and the levers 64 and 65, moves upward the rod 50, which causes the closure of the contacts and the loading (by compression) of the opening spring 3.
  • the lever 64 engages the electrical engagement device 41; at the same time, the lever 66 disengages the lever 64 from the lever 62, making the opening mechanism independent of the closure mechanism.
  • the gearmotor 42 can thus reload the closure spring 4.
  • the spring 4 engages the electrical engagement device 40 and the gearmotor 42 disengages from the lever 62 by means of a disengagement device 43.
  • the opening of the contacts which can be performed if necessary also during reloading of the closure spring, occurs by energizing the electrical engagement device 41, which releases the lever 64.
  • the opening spring 3 is no longer retained and is released, pushing the rod 50, which opens the contacts.
  • circuit breaker according to the invention is the fact that the insulator of the pole is monolithically made of composite material coated with polymeric material. Accordingly, this allows to reduce the number of components of the pole, its weight and, insulation levels being equal, its size.
  • circuit breaker thus conceived is susceptible of numerous modifications and variations, all of which are within the scope of the inventive concept; all the details may also be replaced with other technically equivalent elements.
  • the materials and the dimensions may be any according to requirements and to the state of the art.
