20080314873 | SWITCHING CHAMBER FOR A HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCH HAVING A HEATING VOLUME FOR HOLDING QUENCHING GAS PRODUCED BY SWITCHING ARCS - A switching chamber is intended for a gas-insulated high-voltage switch and contains a contact arrangement with two arcing contacts, which move relative to one another along an axis, with an insulating nozzle, an insulating auxiliary nozzle, a heating volume and a heating channel. The heating channel is routed partially axially between the insulating nozzle and the insulating auxiliary nozzle and connects an arcing zone to the heating volume. A section of the heating channel which opens into the heating volume is inclined inward with respect to the axis. Hot gas which is formed when a short-circuit current is disconnected in the arcing zone therefore flows with a velocity component directed inward into the heating volume, and can penetrate deeply into the heating volume in areas close to the axis. The quality of a quenching gas which is formed in the heating volume from the hot gas and cold gas which is already present, with this quenching gas being used to blow a switching arc which has been struck in the arcing zone during disconnection, can thus be improved. | 12-25-2008 |

20100219161 | GAS-INSULATED HIGH-VOLTAGE CIRCUIT BREAKER WITH A RELIEF DUCT WHICH IS CONTROLLED BY AN OVERFLOW VALVE - A high-voltage circuit breaker includes two arcing contacts, which are capable of moving relative to one another along an axis, an insulating nozzle, a heating volume for accommodating quenching gas, a heating channel, and an overpressure valve. The pressure of the quenching gas is based on the energy of a switching arc, which is formed when the breaker opens and generates arcing gas, and the heating channel opens out, with axial alignment, into the heating volume. The heating channel connects an arc zone, and the overpressure valve limits the pressure of the quenching gas by opening a relief duct, which opens out into an expansion space. In high-current switching, the pressure of the arcing gases in the arc zone is limited, and the quality of the quenching gas stored in the heating volume is improved, due to the relief duct having an outflow section extending in the radial direction. | 09-02-2010 |

Accordingly a compensation capacitance is added at the output of the PA that has a behavior that is inverse respective of the output voltage of that of the output capacitance of the PA. Connecting the compensation capacitor in parallel to the PA output capacitance, results in a total capacitance that is the sum of the output capacitance and its compensation capacitance. The total output capacitance is therefore essentially stable throughout the output voltage swing. | 06-14-2012 |
