Definitions

  • auxiliary contacts insert ohmic switch-over resistors into the circuit in position of the transfer switches intermediate the limit positions thereof. Since these auxiliary contacts are generally required to break currents, these auxiliary contacts must be designed to perform this duty, i.e. to perform as arcing contacts.
  • the contacts which are closed in the two limit positions of transfer switches may also be required to break currents and should, therefore, also be designed to perform this duty, i.e. to perform as arcing contacts. Since cooperating separable contacts can be designed to either perform as arcing contacts, or to perform as current-carrying contacts, i.e.
  • each part of cooperating separable arcing contacts which is closed in one of the limit positions of the transfer switch is associated with a pair of current-carrying contacts. In the closed position of the arcing contacts the latter are shunted by the current-carrying contacts.
  • the current-carrying contacts must engage subsequent to the engagement of the arcing contacts which they are intended to shunt, and must separate prior to the separation of the arcing contacts which they have been shunting.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide transfer switches for tap-changing regulating transformers including current-carrying contacts under the control of operating means which impart to the current-carrying contacts high initial speeds of separation.
  • the present invention is applicable to single-phase transfer switches as well as to polyphase transfer switches and is particularly desirable in connection with threephase transfer switches.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of a transfer switch embodying the present invention and shows also the electrical connections thereof with a tap-changing three-phase regulating transformer;
  • FIG. 2 is a section along IIII of FIG. 3 and shows a current-carrying contact embodying this invention and the operating means therefor;
  • FIG. 3 is a section along III-III of FIG. 4 and shows in top-plan view on a larger scale than FIG. 4 currentcarrying contacts and their operating means embodying this invention.
  • FIG. 4 is a vertical section along a transfer switch embodying this invention.
  • reference characters U, V, W have been applied to indicate portions of three-phase windings of a tap-changing three-phase regulating transformer and reference character S has been applied to generally indicate a portion of a transfer switch associated with the winding U of the transformer.
  • the portions of the transfer switch associated with windings V and W are identical to that of portion S associated with winding U and, therefore, need not to be shown.
  • Leads L interconnect windings U, V, W with the transfer switch S. Normally a selector switch is included in such leads to select between different pairs of taps of windings U, V, W. Such a selector switch has been omitted in FIG.
  • the transformer under consideration is a Y connected transformer and the letter Y has been applied to indicate the neutral point thereof.
  • the fixed main arcing contact 14 on the left of FIG. 1 is directly connected by lead L to tap 11 of 'winding 'U and the fixed main arcing contact 14 on the right of FIG. 1 is directly connected by lead L to tap 12 of winding U.
  • FIG. 1 is connected by a lead L by the interrnediary of an ohmic resistor R to tap 11 of winding U, and the -fixed auxiliary contact 15 on the right of FIG. 1 is connected by a lead L and by the intermediary of an ohmic resistor -R to tap 12 of winding U.
  • a separate movable arcing contact is provided to engage each of fixed arcing contacts 14, 15 and to separate from each of the fixed arcing contacts 14, 15 in a predetermined sequence.
  • a single movable arcing contact 16 has been shown performing the same switching operations in the same sequence as the four separate movable arcing contacts normally provided in a transfer switch of the kind under consideration.
  • Movable arcing contact 16 is supported by an arm fulcrumed at 16a. Fulcrum 16a is conductively connected by lead L to the neutral point Y of the three-phase system.
  • the taps 11 and 12 of windings U, V, W are conductively connected by leads L to fixed current-carrying contacts 18, and the neutral point Y of the three-phase system is conductively connected by leads to fixed current-carrying contacts 19.
  • a current-carrying contact bridge 17 is operatively related to each pair of fixed current-carrying contacts 18, 19. Contact bridges 17 may be moved selectively in the direction of arrow A, or of arrow B, indicated in FIG. 1. In the position of parts shown in FIG.
  • the current-carrying contacts 18, 17, 19 connected to tap 11 of winding U are in engagement, or the closed position thereof, and the current-carrying contacts 18, 17, 19 connected to tap 12 of winding U are out of engagement, or the open position thereof.
  • the contact resistance between current-carrying contacts 18, 17, 19 is less than the contact resistance between the arcing contacts 14, 16.

  • FIGS. 2 and 3 the fixed main currentcarrying contacts 18 and 19 of FIG. 1 have been replaced in the embodiment of the invention according to FIGS. 2-4 by a pair of contacts 18 and 19 which are supported by the cylindrical contact support 21 of insulating material in the center of which operating shaft 29 is located.

  • fixed current-carrying contacts 19 intended to be connected to the neutral point Y of the three-phase system are associated with windings pertaining to different phases.

  • Pairs of fixed contacts 14' are arranged in vertically extending channel members 66 insulating contiguous pairs of contacts 14' from each other. Because of the provision of channel-shaped insulating barriers 66 the angular spacing of pairs of contacts 14' may be small, and yet flashovers between pairs of contacts 31, 30 which are at different potentials are effectively precluded by the presence of channel-shaped barriers 66.
