CONTACT SYSTEM FOR VACUUM CONTACTORS FOR LOW TENSION

摘要

A l.v. contact breaker is such that the metal vapour normally produced in the gap between the two contacts is considerably reduced. The metal vapour is again deposited on the contact surface. The switching chamber is evacuated and the lifespan of the contact elements is considerably increased. The unit is incorporated in motor switching circuits etc. The two switch contacts (3, 4) are shaped and mesh in the conventional pot shape. The front sides of the two contact elements which actually engage are made from one type of material and the cylindrical walls (5, 6) of a different type of material to favour condensation on latter.
