Abstract:
An electrode for a vacuum circuit breaker comprises a cylindrical conducting body, a contact electrode as a combination electrode, and a plurality of slits provided on a surface area of the cylindrical conducting body, the slits being inclined with respect to an axial direction of the cylindrical conducting body, wherein an angle between the slits and the axial direction of the cylindrical conducting body is smaller as the slit becomes farther away from the contact electrode.
Abstract:
A switchgear including a plurality of switch units having a fixed electrode and a movable electrode; and an operating device configured to operate the movable electrode of each of the switch units, wherein the operating device is configured of one motive part and two follower parts that intermittently operate with each other, and part of each of the follower parts touches the motive part, thereby in a condition that moving force is not transmitted from the motive part to the follower part, a state of the follower part is fixed, and in a condition that the motive part shifts from an initial position to a final position, a state of one of the follower parts is allowed to transit, and a state of the other of the follower parts is changed with a delay from such state transit, thereby the switch units are driven while a time delay is produced.
Abstract:
In an electrical contact in which aggregation phases including Cu are dispersed in a matrix phase including Mo, Cr, and Cu, a maximum grain size of the aggregation phases falls in a range of 4 to 20 μm and, when the total Cu content in the electrical contact is denoted by Wt, the Cu content in the matrix phase is expressed by C×Wt, where C ranges from 0.54 to 0.81. A process for producing an electrical contact including Mo, Cr, and Cu includes a step of compacting mixed Mo and Cr powders, thus forming a powder-compression compact and a step of making the powder-compression compact infiltrated with molten Cu.
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.
