Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a contact arrangement of the kind described in the preamble to claim 1, intended for electric switching devices .
  • the invention primarily relates to contact arrangements for current limiting circuit brea ⁇ kers for rated operating voltages of up to about 1000 V but it may, in principle, also be used with other types of low voltage electric switching devices .
  • Electric switching devices with rotatably joumalled movable contacts and two series-connected breaking points per pole are previously known.
  • the necessary contact pressure is achieved with the aid of two helically wound torsion springs, arranged on opposite sides of the movable contact in each pole.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a contact arrangement of the above-mentioned kind, which is parti- cularly intended for current limiting circuit breakers and which requires a smaller phase distance than the above- mentioned known design.
  • This is achieved according to the invention by designing the contact arrangement in the way described in the characterizing part of claim 1.
  • the torsion spring as a helically wound spring, it may be designed relatively easily bendable so that it applies a substantially pure torsional moment to the movable contact. In this way, the frictional forces acting against the contact forces in the bearings of the movable contact will be small.
  • the movable contact may suitably be provided with a contact carrier, cast around the central part of the contact, with a bearing shaft, an operating arm and a spring attachment. This gives a simple design with few parts.
  • the torsion spring may advantageously be placed eccen- trically in relation to the rotational axis of the movable contact. This makes possible a simple, straight shape of the contact .
  • the contact carrier is suitably designed such that the torsion spring may be clamped to the contact carrier during the mounting work.
  • the movable contact with the contact carrier and the spring form a mounting unit which may be pushed into the breaker stand between two shielding walls provided with U-shaped guide slots for the bearing shaft of the contact.
  • One end portion of the spring may be designed such that its engagement is automatically transferred to the adjacent shielding wall in connection with the mounting unit being pressed into position in the guide slots. This enables the mounting work to be carried out simply and rapidly.
  • Figure 1 shows in perspective view a contact arrangement according to the invention
  • Figures 2 and 3 show in side view the contact arrangement in its closed and open positions, respectively
  • Figures 4 and 5 show how the movable contact carrier of the contact arrangement with its contact pressure spring is fitted into slot-shaped guides in the stand of an electric switching device
  • Figure 6 shows in perspective view how the contact arrange ⁇ ment may be arranged in an electric switching device.
  • the contact arrangement shown in Figures 1-3 has a movable contact 10 comprising a movable contact arm 11 made from round bar of, for example, copper, the ends of the contact arm supporting contact elements 12 of a suitable contact material, for example silver cadmium oxide or silver tin oxide.
  • the central part of the contact arm is surrounded by a contact carrier 13, which is made of insulating material, for example plastic, and is fixed to the contact arm, for example by being cast thereon.
  • the contact carrier 13 is formed with a bearing shaft 14, consisting of two shaft pins 14a, 14b directed in opposite directions, an operating arm 15 and a fixing slot 16 for a contact pressure spring 18.
  • the shaft 14 is joumalled in two mutually parallel shielding walls (not shown) , arranged on opposite sides of the contact arm and forming part of the stand of the electric switching device, the contact 10 being rotatable about a rotational axis A oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the contact .
  • the movable contact 10 cooperates with two fixed contacts 20, 21, arranged on opposite sides of the movable contact, each contact consisting of a contact arm 22 of copper with a contact element 23 of a suitable contact material.
  • the contact arm 22 has a hook-like shape with two branches, one 24 of which constituting a connecting branch and the other 25 forming an arcing horn.
  • the movable contact elements 12 are pressed against the fixed contact elements 23 with the aid of the contact pressure spring 18, which consists of a helically wound spring extending substantially parallel to the rotational axis A.
  • the contact pressure spring 18 which consists of a helically wound spring extending substantially parallel to the rotational axis A.
  • the spring 18 is in engagement with the movable contact via the contact carrier 13, and on the other side of the contact the spring is in engagement with the stand of the electric switching device.
  • the contact carrier 13 and the torsion spring 18 are designed such that the spring 18 may be attached to the contact carrier 13 before the movable contact with the contact carrier and the spring is fitted into the electric switching device.
  • Figure 4 shows the unit, consisting of parts 10, 13 and 18, prior to being fitted into the switching " device.
  • One end portion of the spring is thereby fixed in the fixing slot 16 of the contact carrier 13, whereas the other end portion of the spring, which portion is designed with a transversally projecting arm 19, is fixed by pressing the end portion by the spring tension against the contact carrier at the two points marked by the arrows B.
  • the fitting into the switching device may be carried out in a simple and rapid manner by pressing in the mentioned mounting unit, in the direction of the arrow C, between two parallel shielding walls, associated with the stand of the electric switching device, a portion 28 of one of these walls being schematically shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • the shielding walls are provided with U-shaped guide slots 29 for mounting the shaft 14 of the movable contact. That end portion of the spring 18 which is provided with the arm 19 will then be pushed into one of the guide slots 29, the width of which is somewhat larger than the outside diameter of the helically wound spring 18. The engagement of the spring is then transferred to the shielding wall at the points marked with the arrows D (Fig. 5) .
  • the bearing shaft 14 of the contact carrier has an oval cross section, in which the largest dimension of the cross section corresponds to the width of the associated guide slot 29.
  • Figure 6 shows central parts of a three-pole electric switching device which is provided with the contact arrangement described above.
  • the switching device is designed so as to combine the functions of a contactor, a direct-on-line starter and a current limiting circuit breaker.
  • the main current path in each pole extends from an upper terminal clamp 31 via a bimetallic element 32 in a thermal tripping device, an upper fixed contact 21, a movable contact 10, a lower fixed contact 20 and a percussion armature magnet 33 to a lower terminal clamp 35.
  • a deionization plate package 36 and 37, respectively, is arranged close to each one of the two series-connected breaking points in each breaker pole.
  • the electric switching device is provided with an operating magnet (not shown) , which in activated state maintains the opening spring (or springs), not shown, of the switching device tensioned.
  • the switching device is then in a closed contact position by the influence of the contact pressure springs 18.
  • the current to the coil of the operating magnet is broken by means ' of an auxiliary contact arranged in the operating circuit. This causes the force from the opening spring to influence the operating arms 15 via an operating member (not shown) common to all the poles, the movable contacts 10 thus being turned from the open position against the action of the contact pressure springs 18, which are weaker than the opening spring.
  • the percussion armature magnet 33 is activated, which magnet, via an arm 34 connected to the magnet armature, directly influences the contact arrangement in the phase (or the phases) in which a short circuit current occurs, a rapid current limiting breaking thus being achieved. At the same time, the current to the coil of the operating magnet is broken, permitting the movable contacts in all the poles to switch to the open position.
  • the percussion armature magnet 33 may, for example, be of the type described in the patent publication WO 90/05368.
  • the torsion spring 18 may be placed closer to the rotational axis A of the movable contact 10, or coaxially therewith. In that way, the swinging motion of that of the ends of the spring, which is in engagement with the contact carrier 13, is reduced. At the same time, however, the contact 10 must be bent to accomodate the spring.
