Title: Improvements to AMF contacts in vacuum switching devices
Inventor: LESLIE THOMAS FALKINGHAM
IPC: H01H33/664
Filed: 2018-07-30
Abstract: A contact for an axial field vacuum switching device comprises a stem conductively bonded to the base of a cup-shaped support, the open end of the cup being closed by a disc of contact material and the sides of the cup having angled slots cut through to produce an axial magnetic field. Rings or short tubes are placed within the cup-shaped support and are of a suitable dimension to provide support to the cup against forces pushing inwards. The rings or tubes fit sufficiently well into the cup that they keep each other in position. The number or rings or tubes may range from two to seven. The rings or tubes may be made of a strong material with relatively poor electrical conductivity, such as stainless steel, so that very little current passes to the contact disc through them. Each ring may be provided with one or more holes or notches to allow the escape of gas during vacuum pumping. The rings or tubes may prevent the inward dishing of the contact disc due to the axial load when the contacts are closed or the collapse of the cup walls due to the structural weakness caused by the presence of angled slots.
