Abstract

An exemplary embedded pole part with an isolating housing, which accommodates a vacuum interrupter as well as electric terminals by an injected embedding material, wherein the injected embedding material is filled with silica based on silicon dioxide as filler material, and the silica is silica fume, which includes amorphous, non-porous spheres of silicon dioxide and agglomerates thereof.

Claims (23)

1. An embedded pole part, comprising:

an isolating housing, which includes a vacuum interrupter and electric terminals by an injected embedding material, wherein the injected embedding material is filled with silica based on silicon dioxide as filler material,

wherein the silica is silica fume microsilica, which includes amorphous, non-porous spheres of silicon dioxide and agglomerates thereof, and

wherein an average particle size of the amorphous, non-porous spheres of silicon dioxide is smaller than 0.3 micron.

2. The embedded pole part of claim 1 , wherein an average particle size of the amorphous, non-porous spheres of silicon dioxide is smaller than 0.2 micron.

3. The embedded pole part of claim 2 , wherein an average particle size of the amorphous, non-porous spheres of silicon dioxide is smaller than 0.15 micron.

4. The embedded pole part of claim 1 , wherein an average particle size of the agglomerates of the amorphous, non-porous spheres of the silicon dioxide is smaller than 2 micron.

5. The embedded pole part of claim 4 , wherein an average particle size of the agglomerates of the amorphous, non-porous spheres of the silicon dioxide is smaller than 1.5 micron.

6. The embedded pole part of claim 5 , wherein an average particle size of the agglomerates of the amorphous, non-porous spheres of the silicon dioxide is smaller than 1 micron.

7. The embedded pole part of claim 1 , wherein, a bulk density of the silica fume is between 100 kg/cbm and 1000 kg/cbm.

8. The embedded pole part of claim 7 , wherein, a bulk density of the silica fume is between 200 kg/cbm and 800 kg/cbm.

9. The embedded pole part of claim 8 , wherein, a bulk density of the silica fume is between 250 kg/cbm and 700 kg/cbm.

10. The embedded pole part of claim 1 , wherein a bulk density of the silica fume is between 2.1 t/cbm and 2.4 t/cbm.

11. The embedded pole part of claim 10 , wherein a bulk density of the silica fume is between 2.2 t/cbm and 2.3 t/cbm.

12. The embedded pole part of claim 1 , wherein the filler material has a percentage of more than 60 wt.-%.

13. The embedded pole part of claim 12 , wherein the filler material has a percentage of more than 70 wt.-%.

14. The embedded pole part of claim 13 , wherein the filler material has a percentage of more than 80 wt.-%.

15. The embedded pole part of claim 1 , wherein the injected embedding material is duroplastic material.

16. The embedded pole part of claim 15 , wherein the duroplastic material is an epoxy material.

17. The embedded pole part of claim 1 , wherein the injected embedding material is thermoplastic material.

18. The embedded pole part of claim 1 , wherein the injected embedding material is silicone.

19. A medium voltage vacuum circuit breaker, comprising:

an actuator for generating an operation force wherein the operation force is transmitted via a jackshaft arrangement to a vacuum interrupter which is embedded in an isolating housing of an embedded pole part according to claim 1 .
