Insulating nozzle for gas blast circuit breaker
View Patent ↗The invention concerns an insulating nozzle for a gas blast circuit breaker. In accordance with the invention, the material constituting the nozzle comprises (A) 90% to 99.9% by weight of a fluorinated polymer, and (B) 0.1% to 10% by weight of a filler based on at least one oxide selected from (B1) SiO 2 and other oxidized forms of metals from column IVA of the periodic table, and (B2) ZnO, CdO and other oxidized forms of metals from column IIB of the periodic table.
1. An insulating nozzle for a gas blast circuit breaker, wherein, at every point throughout the nozzle, the material constituting the nozzle comprises (A) 90% to 99.9% by weight of a fluorinated polymer, and (B) 0.1% to 10% by weight of a filler based on at least one oxide selected from (B1) SiO 2 and other oxidized forms of metals from column IVA of the periodic table, and (B2) ZnO, CdO and other oxidized forms of metals from column IIB of the periodic table.
2. An insulating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein at every point throughout the nozzle, the material constituting the nozzle comprises 92% to 99% by weight of polymer (A) and 1% to 8% by weight of filler (B).
3. An insulating nozzle according to claim 2 , wherein, at every point throughout the nozzle, the material constituting the nozzle comprises 98% of polymer (A) and 2% by weight of filler (B).
4. An insulating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein, at every point throughout the nozzle, the material constituting the nozzle comprises 99% to 99.5% by weight of polymer (A) and 0.5% to 1% by weight of filler (B).
5. An insulating nozzle according to claim 4 , wherein, at every point throughout the nozzle, the material constituting the nozzle comprises about 99.4% by weight of polymer (A) and about 0.6% by weight of filler (B).
6. An insulating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein polymer (A) is PTFE or modified PTFE.
7. An insulating nozzle according to claim 1 , wherein the grain size of the filler is less than 50 μm.
8. An insulating nozzle for a gas blast circuit breaker, wherein at every point throughout the nozzle, the material constituting the nozzle comprises (A) 90% to 99.9% by weight of a fluorinated polymer, and (B) 0.1% to 10% by weight of a filler based on at least one oxide selected from (B1) SiO 2 and other oxidized forms of metals from column IVA of the periodic table, and (B2) ZnO, CdO and other oxidized forms of metals from column IIB of the periodic table, and wherein the grain size of the filler is less than 1 μm.
9. An insulating nozzle for a gas blast circuit breaker, wherein at every point throughout the nozzle, the material constituting the nozzle consists of (A) 90% to 99.9% by weight of a fluorinated polymer, and (B) 0.1% to 10% by weight of a filler based on at least one oxide selected from (B1) SiO 2 and other oxidized forms of metals from column IVA of the periodic table, and (B2) ZnO, CdO and other oxidized forms of metals from column IIB of the periodic table.
