Abstract:
An evacuated envelope includes a cylindrical housing made of a metallic material, disc-shaped upper and lower end plates made of ceramic and stationary and movable contact rods. The envelope of the vacuum interrupter is manufactured by brazing the end plates to the housing by using a sealing member made of a hermetically deformable metallic material which deforms by thermal stress generated during a cooling process after hermetic brazing. Sealing means of the envelope is provided with surface-to-surface sealing between the seal member and the cylindrical metallic housing or the disc-shaped end plate in order to enhance the sealing performance. The envelope is hermetically sealed by deforming the sealing member after brazing the sealing member to the housing in order to further enhance the sealing performance. The sealing member further comprises a stress absorbing means provided with a curved portion for absorbing thermal and mechanical stress.
Abstract:
A vacuum circuit interrupter includes a cylinder made of a metal relatively easy to deform plastically, and first and second insulating disks closing the ends of the metallic cylinder to form therewith an evacuated envelope. A stationary rod enters the envelope through the first disk in such a manner as to provide a seal therewith. A movable conductive rod movably enters the envelope through the second disk. A bellows is fixed at its one end to the movable rod and at its other end to the second disk in such a manner as to provide a seal about the movable rod to allow for movement thereof without impairing the vacuum inside the envelope. Stationary and movable electrodes are connected to the stationary and movable rods respectively in such a manner as to engage and disengage with each other according to the movement of the movable rod.

A vacuum interrupter has a capacity of breaking high voltage and large electric current, and excellent anti-welding characteristics, and prevents generation of harmful surges by current chopping and reignitions, and particularly prevents surges by multi-reignition and three-phase simultaneous breaking caused by the multi-reignition. The vacuum interrupter comprises a pair of electrodes (5a, 6a) which can close or separate from each other within an electric insulating hermetic vacuum vessel (4), each electrode (5a, 6a, 15 and 28) is made of a metallic material of a mean vapor pressure, the boiling point of the metallic material being 2700 to 3300K. (2427.degree. to 3027.degree. C.), such as, for example, chromium, or a chromium alloy including a content of more than 90% chromium.

Abstract:
A novel contact electrode material for vacuum interrupters is disclosed, by which the chopping current value inherent in contact material can be reduced so that it is possible to stably interrupt small lagging current due to inductive loads without generating surge voltages. The material is equivalent or superior to the conventional Cu-0.5Bi material in large current interrupting capability and dielectric strength. The material consists essentially of copper, chromium, iron or molybdenum and chromium carbide or molybdenum carbide. The metallographical microstructure is such that copper is infiltrated into a porous matrix formed by mutually bonding chromium powder, iron or molybdenum powder and metal carbide powder in diffusion state. In its manufacturing process, firstly copper is placed onto a powder mixture of chromium, iron or molybdenum, and chromium carbide or molybdenum carbide, and then the copper and the powder mixture is heated within a nonoxidizing atmosphere at a first temperature lower than the copper melting point and thereafter again at a second temperature higher than the copper melting point.

The interrupter has a pair of separable contact-electrodes (13, 24), a vacuum envelope (4) generally electrically insulating and enclosing the pair therewithin, a contact-making portion (19) of 20 to 60% IACS electrical conductivity being a part of one contact-electrode (13) of the pair and being into and out of engagement with the other contact-electrode (24) of the pair, an arc-diffusing portion (20) of 2 to 30% IACS electrical conductivity being the other part of the one contact-electrode (13) and being electrically and mechanically connected to the contact-making portion (19) so as to be spaced from the other contact-electrode (24) when the contact-electrodes (13, 24) are into engagement, and means (14, 15) for applying an axial magnetic field in parallel to an arc established between the contact-electrodes (13, 24) when separated.

Abstract:
A vacuum interrupter enhances current interruption capability for large current at high voltage. The interrupter includes a coil-electrode creating an axial magnetic field parallel to the direction of arc current passing across an interelectrode gap. The coil-electrode includes a radially extending web spaced from a contact-electrode of the interrupter, one end of the web electrically connected to a contact-electrode lead rod, a partially turning segment having one end connected through an electrical connector to the other end of the web, another web and a segment made of a material with electrical conductivity higher than the contact-electrode and attached to the back-surface of the contact-electrode. The other web electrically connects the other end of the segment to a contact-making portion of the contact-electrode, the one and other webs alternating at angular intervals. Current passes through the one and other webs in opposite directions. Current paths are shortened in the contact-electrode. The coil-electrode intensifies the axial magnetic field due to the arrangements of the webs.
Abstract:
A contact of a vacuum interrupter and a manufacturing process therefor are disclosed. The contact can greatly reduce the chopping current of the interrupter, can greatly increase the dielectric strength thereof and can improve the large- and small-current interrupting capabilities thereof. The contact is made of a material containing 29 to 74 weight % copper, 15 to 60 weight % chromium, 10 to 35 weight % iron, 0.5 to 15 weight % carbon and 0.5 to 15 weight % silicon. The process contains the steps of producing a porous matrix by sintering a mixture of all of the elements except copper under a nonoxidizing atmosphere, impregnating the matrix with copper and machining the resultant material.
