摘要:
Provided is an electromagnetic switch such that it is possible to simultaneously drive at least a main contact mechanism and a plurality of contact mechanisms. The electromagnetic switch is such that a plurality of contact mechanisms (9A), (9B) having at least a fixed contact and a movable contact disposed so as to be connectable to and detachable from the fixed contact are disposed inside a contact housing case (4), the electromagnetic switch including a movable contact holding portion (15) that holds the movable contacts (14A), (14B) of the plurality of contact mechanisms, and an electromagnet unit (3) having a movable plunger (45) that causes the movable contact holding portion (15) to move.
摘要:
There is provided an electromagnetic contactor with which it is possible to suppress electromagnetic repulsion forces which cause a movable contact to open when current is conducted without any effect of magnetic fields of external connection conductors. The electromagnetic contactor includes a contact mechanism (CM) including a pair of fixed contacts (2), interposed in a current conduction path, which have their respective fixed contact portions (2a), (2b) and a movable contact 3 having a pair of movable contact portions (3b), (3c) which are able to come into and out of contact with the pair of fixed contact portions, wherein at least one of the pair of fixed contacts or movable contact is formed in a shape such as to form magnetic fields which generate Lorentz forces opposing electromagnetic repulsion forces generated in an opening direction between the fixed contact portions and movable contact portions when current is conducted. Also, the attachment direction of fixed portions (22), (23), each of which, having an external connection conductor (20), (21) connected to an external connection terminal (2i), (2j) of the corresponding fixed contact 2, is attached to the external connection terminal of the external connection conductor, is set so as to cross the direction of current flowing through the movable contact.
摘要:
An electromagnetic contactor where an interphase partition wall (17) is provided between adjacent main contact points (3). A concave portion (23) is provided in an inner wall face of the interphase partition wall (17) so as to be positioned in the middle in discharge paths (indicated by arrows) of arc gas produced by on/off operation of each main contact point (3). Providing the concave portion (23) causes arc gas heading from an arc generation point toward a discharge window (20) to be held in the concave portion (23) as a drifting place, reducing discharge speed of the arc gas. This results that an amount of heat diffused by heat transfer from the arc gas to the interphase partition wall (17) is increased, so that the temperature of arc gas jetted from the discharge window (20) is lowered. Consequently, damage in distribution cables and melting of the interphase partition wall (17) caused by overheating of a main terminal (6) to which arc gas is blown are prevented from occurring.
