High voltage device with a particle trap
View Patent ↗The high-voltage switching device used in one installation position and has metallic encapsulation ( 10 ) a switching gap ( 4 ) and a particle trap ( 1 ) for holding foreign body particles ( 2 ), and is characterized in that in the one installation position, the particle trap ( 1 ) is arranged vertically underneath the switching gap ( 4 ), in the one installation position, an isolator part ( 8 ) is provided, which has a surface ( 8 a ) aligned essentially horizontally and faces the interior of the high-voltage switching device, with a metallic wall ( 9 ), which is higher than the particle trap ( 1; 1′ ), being arranged between the isolator part ( 8 ) and the particle trap ( 1; 1′ ). The particle trap ( 1 ) has a viewing window ( 3 ). If the high-voltage switching device is a disconnector, this viewing window ( 3 ) may be identical to the viewing window ( 3 ) for visual access to the visible disconnecting gap ( 4 ) of the disconnector. The high-voltage switching device is used particularly advantageously in a second installation position and has a second particle trap, with the second particle trap arranged vertically underneath the switching gap ( 4 ) in the second installation position. This results in the high-voltage switching device having good operational reliability and a low susceptibility to defects.
