Abstract

A disconnector for electric power equipment filled with dielectric liquid, especially transformers, applicable in protecting the operation of electric power equipment. The disconnector contains at least two cylindrical current-limiting fuses situated inside a tank, and each fuse is electrically connected with external phase power supply and through fixed contacts and moving contacts of the disconnector with the active part of the piece of electric power equipment. The disconnector is characterized in that the current-limiting fuses are placed in a common housing, in which a slide with a pilot is situated, and to the slide there are inseparably fixed moving contacts, which move together with the slide when the slide makes a to-and-fro motion. The to-and-fro motion takes place as a result of the operation of a tripping device situated in the current-limiting fuses and of the compression or stretching of springs fixed to the pilot and to a fixing disk.

Claims (6)

1. A disconnector for electric power equipment filled with dielectric liquid comprising two cylindrical current-limiting fuses and a jumper situated inside a containing tank and each fuse is electrically connected with external phase power supply and through fixed contacts and moving contacts of the disconnector with the active part of the electric power equipment, characterized in that the two cylindrical current-limiting fuses and said jumper are situated in a common housing in which there is a slide with a pilot, and the slide has moving contacts inseparably fixed to it, which contacts move together with the slide when the slide makes a to-and-fro motion along an axis of slide travel that takes place as a result of the operation of a tripping device situated in the current-limiting fuses and of compressing and stretching of springs fixed to the pilot and to a fixing disk coupled to said common housing wherein said two cylindrical current-limiting fuses and said jumper are situated in a common housing in such way that the longitudinal axes of the fuses and the longitudinal axis of the jumper are situated parallel to one another, and the projection of the longitudinal axes of the fuses and the jumper on a plane perpendicular to them determines three points which when connected with one another form the vertexes of a triangle in whose area the projection of the axis of the slide travel is situated.

2. A disconnector according to claim 1 , characterized in that the jumper contains cylindrical shorting contacts which are connected with each other by a conducting pin.

3. A disconnector according to claim 1 , characterized in that the cylindrical shorting contacts have a diameter equal to the diameter of the cylindrical fuses.

4. A disconnector according to claim 1 characterized in that the moving contacts in the open state of the disconnector are in contact with said fixing disk which is grounded.

5. A disconnector according to claim 1 , characterized in that the common housing is fixed inside the containing tank of the electric power equipment.

6. A disconnector according to claim 5 , characterized in that the common housing is fixed to a cover of the containing tank of the electric power equipment.
