Abstract: An exemplary vacuum interrupter arrangement for a medium voltage circuit breaker includes a vacuum housing within which a pair of electrical contacts are coaxially arranged and concentrically surrounded by the cylindrical shaped vacuum housing. The electrical contacts are formed as a type of TMF-contacts, each having a slotted cup-shaped contact part which is attached to the distal end of a contact shaft and which is covered by a contact ring disposed on a rim of the cup-shaped contact part, wherein each cup-shaped contact part is provided with a vertical inward bending towards the contact ring. The outer diameter of the bottom section of the cup-shaped contact part is larger than the outer diameter of its rim section, in order to alter the Lorentz force to a respective inward direction.

Abstract: A contact assembly and a vacuum circuit breaker for interrupting an electrical current are disclosed. The contact assembly includes an outer field generating element for generating a first axial magnetic field (AMF), and an inner field generating element for generating a second AMF opposite to the first AMF. The inner field generating element can be coaxial with the outer field generating element and can have a smaller diameter than the outer field generating element. The outer field generating element can be cup-shaped and slotted with non-radial slots to generate the first AMF. The contact assembly can include an innermost conducting element for nominal current conduction and coaxially adjusted with the inner field generating element.

Abstract: An AMF contact for a vacuum interrupter includes concentric opposing contact pieces. The contact pieces include an external electrode shaped like a coil with a plate as a bottom plate of the external electrode, which generates a strong axial magnetic field, and an inner internal electrode as a top electrode carrying the nominal current. To enable the outer electrode to generate the axial magnetic field as requested for an application, a rod is arranged between the top electrode and the bottom plate. A first end of the rod is fixed at a lower side of the top electrode, and a second end of the rod is guided through an opening of the bottom plate. The second end of the rod has an extended head which locks or tightens the rod in a defined axial position. The disclosed embodiments are applicable for standard AMF or TMF (cup) contacts to reinforce them.
