Abstract:
The invention has an object to provide an operating device or vacuum switch which permits reduction in the overall height of the operating device and improves installation convenience. In order to solve the above problem, an operating device according to the present invention is characterized by including an electromagnet 14 located in a case 10 and fixed to the case 10 through a fixing part, a capacitor 16 located at an end in the case 10, a control board 18 located opposite to the capacitor 16 across the electromagnet 14, an auxiliary contact 34 located above the capacitor 16, a movable part to move by a magnetic force generated from the electromagnet 14, and a power transmission section to operate in conjunction with movement of the movable part. The capacitor 16 and the auxiliary contact 34 are located at heights not exceeding the height of the fixing part for fixing the electromagnet 14.
Abstract:
An actuator for a contactor comprises an electromagnet having a closing coil, a holding coil, fixed cores wound with the closing coil and the holding coil respectively, a movable core provided on one side of the fixed cores, and a yoke. A main contact movable member operates to perform closing or interrupting by attraction or release of the movable core with respect to the fixed core. The actuator has a trip spring, energy-stored during the closing, that performs the interrupting upon stopping energization to the holding coil and thereby releasing the stored-energy. The actuator has an auxiliary contact operating with the operation of the movable core and performing energization switching with respect to the closing coil and the holding coil. The trip spring is provided on one side of the electromagnet in a horizontal direction while the auxiliary contact is provided on the other side.
Abstract:
Provided an electrical contact is cheap, excellent workability and lasts the effect of chopping current reduction. An electrical contact comprising a Cu matrix, and compounds Cu and low melting point metal which are dispersed in the Cu matrix, wherein a vapor pressure of the low melting point metal is more than 105 Pa at 1000° C., the compound has stoichiometric ratio which is the value of the low melting metal/Cu is greater than 0.5, and a longitudinal direction of the compound is oriented at an angle of 90°±10° to the contact surfaces. The method of the electrical contact is stretching mixture the Cu matrix with the compounds at 70-85% while heating, using as a contact surfaces of the electrical contact.
