    摘要: Provided is a drive structure for a high-voltage direct-current relay, the drive structure comprising: a retaining frame, a stopper piece, a movable spring piece, and an elastic member. The retaining frame comprises two retaining side arms, a support plate, and a drive rod. The two retaining side arms are disposed at two sides of the support plate, and the drive rod is connected to a bottom portion of the support plate. The stopper piece has one end connected to a terminal end of one of the retaining side arms, and the other end connected to a terminal end of the other retaining side arm. The elastic member has one end pressing against the support plate and the other end pressing against the movable spring piece, the movable spring piece presses against the stopper piece, and the stopper piece is provided with an arc isolation portion. The drive structure for a high-voltage direct-current relay has an bottom-up assembly manner, in which the elastic member, the movable spring piece, and the stopper piece are stacked sequentially, and the stopper piece is connected to and retained by the two retaining side arms, thereby realizing a simple and fast assembly process, and increasing assembly efficiency of high-voltage direct-current relays. In addition, the arc isolation portion has an effect of isolating arcs, thereby improving a service life of high-voltage direct-current relays despite reverse arcs.

    摘要: A mechanical breaker apparatus for breaking an electric circuit comprises two electrodes that are movable relative to each other, and including an electric arc splitter device having a multitude of distinct conductive elements that are spaced apart and electrically insulated relative to one another. The splitter device has a first portion and a second portion that are movable relative to each other between: an electrical contact position; and a spaced-apart position of the two portions. The splitter device has at least one series of the distinct conductive elements that, in an electrically closed position of the electrodes of the mechanical apparatus, are arranged along the continuous electrically-conductive path for the nominal electric current through the apparatus as defined by the two portions of the splitter device in the electrical contact position.

    摘要: A circuit breaker housing assembly is disclosed. The housing (47) includes a first housing piece (14) defining a first interior surface (52) including a first mating surface (152), and a second housing piece (60) defining a second interior surface (62) including a second mating surface (260) which is opposingly coupled to the first mating surface to define a seam (202) therebetween. An adhesive material (201) is disposed between the corresponding first and second mating surfaces along the seam. A moveable contact is disposed in the housing and is selectively moveable with respect to a corresponding stationary contact. The first and second interior surfaces (52,62) further cooperatively define a first recess (120) therebetween, and the moveable contact assembly is disposed in said first recess.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a switching device with at least one contact point and an arc blow device associated with the contact point, where the arc blow device comprises at least one blow magnet for generating a magnetic blow field, and where the blow field is of such nature that a switch arc developing when the contact point opens is blown out from the contact point. It is according to the invention provided that the blow field comprises a first magnetic field area and a second magnetic field area arranged adjacent to the first magnetic field area, where the magnetic field lines of the first magnetic field area are oriented in opposite direction to the magnetic field lines of the second magnetic field area, and where the blow field further comprises a transition area which connects the first magnetic field area and the second magnetic field area with each other, where the orientation of the magnetic field lines in the transition area, each starting out from the first magnetic field area and the second magnetic field area, aligns toward the contact point so that the switch arc within the transition area is in dependence of the direction of the current, starting out from the contact point, directed either into the first magnetic field area or into the second magnetic field area and there in both cases blown in the same direction away from the contact point.
