Abstract

A disconnector for distribution transformers with dielectric liquid intended for comprehensive protection of a power grid or for protecting distribution transformers. The disconnector provides at least two cylindrical current-limiting fuses located inside a transformer tank. Each fuse is electrically connected with an external phase power supply through fixed contacts and moving contacts of the disconnector with the active part of the transformer. The disconnector has an additional auxiliary contact which is electrically connected to a switch connected to the active part of the transformer on a low voltage side of the transformer.

Claims (7)

1. A disconnector for distribution transformers with dielectric liquid comprising current-limiting fuses located in the transformer tank which are electrically connected with an external phase power supply and through fixed contacts of the main contact and moving contacts of the main contact of the disconnector with the active part of the transformer comprising the primary circuit and the secondary circuit of the transformer, the current-limiting fuses being located in a common casing of the disconnector which houses a slide with a pilot, which slide is coupled with a fixing disc by means of springs, characterized in that the disconnector is furnished with an additional auxiliary contact being a kind of a limit switch controlled by a roll which is fixed to the fixing disc, and having a cam cooperating with the roll, which is fastened to the slide, said auxiliary contact is electrically connected with a switch connected to the active part of the transformer on the low voltage side of the transformer on the low voltage side of the transformer.

2. A disconnector according to claim 1 , characterized in that the auxiliary contact is a break contact.

3. A disconnector according to claim 1 , characterized in that the fixed auxiliary contact is a make contact.

4. A disconnector according to claim 1 , characterized in that the auxiliary contact is connected with an electric releasing device of the switch on the low voltage side.

5. A disconnector according to claim 1 , characterized in that the transformer tank is provided with and additional cable culvert for electric leads that control the switch on the low voltage side.

6. A protection system for distribution transformers with dielectric liquid according to claim 1 , comprising a switch located on the low voltage side, and the disconnector which is located on the high voltage side and which is electrically coupled with the switch situated on the low voltage side.

7. A system according to claim 6 , characterized in that the disconnector is located inside the transformer tank.
