. Claims.
This invention relates to circuit interrupting devices and has to do more especially with an.
automatic interrupter designed to serve as a protective means operative principally as a result of failure of other protective apparatus or as a result of excessive delay in the operation of such other apparatus.
The subject device is particularly useful as an adjunct to a lightning arrester designed for use on power circuits and having means incorporated therein for suppressing the flow of power current across the extinguisher gap after an arc has been established by lightning discharge or surges in a power line.
This application is a division of my co-pending application Serial No. 269,065 flied April 21, 1939,
' entitled Automatic circuit interrupting device.
Lightning arresters for use on power lines usually comprise a single or multiple stage spark gap in series with so-called valve material such as silicon carbide which is characterized by low impedance when subjected to very high potentials and high impedance when subjected to relatively low potentials-properties which render it very useful for lightning arrester service. Occasionally the valve material in such an arrester becomes defective and, therefore, inoperative to extinguish the arc across the spark gap, with the result that the power current will -maintain a previously established arc unless some additional provision is made for opening the circuit upon the failure of the arrester to extinguish the arc in the normal manner.
In my above-identified co-pending application I have disclosed several devices, including that of the present divisional application, which are designed to open a circuit in response to a current flow of predetermined duration, and not otherwise-and each of said devices is most particularly adapted for use as an adjunct to or part of the lightning arrester structure.
The objects of the present invention include those of the parent application, which are to provide a device which will operate dependably to open a circuit after a predetermined time lapse and which will function to effect a complete separation of the ground conductor (in the case of a lightning arrester) from the arrester structure, so that it will be visibly evident upon casual inspection whenever a circuit interrupter has operated.
A further object of this invention is to provide a unitary structure including the circuit interrupter in combination with other apparatus such as a lightning arrester, in a single housing, and
thus effect a substantial reduction in the manuiacturing cost.
The outstanding novel feature of the present invention resides in the use Of a single housing,
preferably of moulded glass, in which is housed all the operative parts of th device, including the circuit interrupted-which housing ha an integral hollow stem of reduced diameter in which is housed the circuit interrupter mechanism and which stem preferably is locally weakened by a groove therein so that upon operation of the circuit interrupter mechanism the housing will ruptur along said groove and allow the ground conductor or other conductor to drop.
Referring to the drawing which accompanies this specification, reference numeral l identifies a hollow cylindrical housing which is preferably of glass, but may be made of other dielectric material such as porcelain. Secured to the upper end of the housing and functioning as a closure therefor is a cap 2 which likewise may be made of glass or porcelain or other suitable dielectric material.
Within the upper portion of the housing is a suitable spark gap structure (not shown) and below the spark gap structure is a filling 3 of valve material such as comminuted silicon carbide. A lead-in conductor 4 serves to connect the power line with one end of the spark gap. For showing of the spark gap structure and other details -of the upper part of the arrester, see Fig. l of with is a depending stem 5 of reduced diameter having an internal cavity or chamber 6. Near the lower end and circumscribing the stem 5 is a pheripheral groove I, the purpose of which is to weaken the cross section of the stem at the groove so that the portion of the stem below the groove and the parts carried thereby will be broken away from the portion of the stem above the groove when the circuit interrupter operates.
Groove I is preferably ground in with sharp internal fillets so that a clean break will be insured along the line of cleavage defined by said groove.
Enclosed within chamber 6 is a spark gap 8, defined coniointly by downwardly projecting upper electrode l0 and a lower electrode II. The upper electrode [0 is preferably integral with a conductor plate l2, the upper surface of which is in contact with valve material 3. In the lower end of electrode I0 is an axial recess designed to receive and hold an explosive cap or cartridge 13 which is designed to explode when its temperature is raised to a suitable predetermined value. The lower electrode II is flanged at its upper end, the upper surface or the flange being recessed axially so as to form an annular rim portion I. Electrode II has a threaded shank 15 which passes through an aperture in the otherwise closed end or the lower portion or neck 5 and is secured in place by a threaded member l6--a suitable gasket ll being interposed between the lower surface or the neck and the threaded member I6. The remaining structure designated as a whole by numeral i8 constitute a connector by means or which a ground conductor I9 is supported by the housing and maintained in electrical connection with electrode I I.
In the normal operation of the device as a lightning arrester, an arc will occur across the gap 8, between the upper electrode 10 and the annular rim H of the lower-electrode, but due to the functioning of the valve material 3, the
are is extinguished very rapidly and no power,
current of any substantial duration will jump the gap before the arc is fully suppressed. However, should the lightning arrester get out of order, as sometimes happens, the arc may not promptly be extinguished and, in such event, enough heat will be developed at the gap 8 to explode cartridge l3-whereupon the housing is ruptured at groove 1 and the terminal portion I8 including electrode II and conductor I! will fall toward the ground, causing an immediate wide separation between electrodes l0 and II and a corresponding widening of gap 8, which results in immediate extinction of the arc. Thus, the electrical equipment in the circuit may be protected from damage which would otherwise result from the failure or the lightning arrester and, in addition, the dropping of the terminal connection and the ground wire provides a visible indication that a lightning arrester has failed.
