Abstract: A contactor includes one or two electric arc extinguishing zones each including a magnetic blowout device which moves the electric arc—arising between a fixed contact and a movable contact of a movable bridge switching to the open state—toward an electric arc extinguishing block including a plurality of stacked parallel fins. Each extinguishing zone is bounded in particular by two side walls each located at a distance from the fins of an electric arc extinguishing block, an upper wall and a lower wall which is located at a distance from the fins of the electric arc extinguishing blocks and is connected to each side wall by a concave connection of curved cross-section. The fins of each electric arc extinguishing block are inclined by an angle a of between 30 and 85 degrees with respect to the inner surface of the closest side wall.

Abstract: Two electric poles are controlled in one and the same circuit breaker by an undivided opening mechanism controlled by a pyrotechnic actuator. The opening of the circuit that is brought about by this actuator, which is fast for a large opening travel of the mobile contacts, makes it possible to extinguish electric arcs under good conditions. The poles may be placed in series on one and the same electrical circuit in order to reduce the potential difference across the terminals of each of them, thereby further increasing the effectiveness of the circuit breaker in terms of arc extinguishing.

Abstract: A high-voltage DC electrical distribution plate with two integrated electromechanical power contactors. Chambers of fixed and movable contact terminals of the two contactors are disposed on a first of the major surfaces of the plate, while on the second major surface of the plate are disposed complementary assemblies of the two contactors, each complementary assembly including a motor intended to activate the contact terminals of the contactor in question. The other components disposed on the second major surface of the plate leave a free space constituting an area of attachment of the complementary assemblies of the two contactors, this area being dimensioned to allow the arrangement of the complementary assemblies of the contactors in two orthogonal orientations allowing the motors to activate contact terminals of different sub-assemblies of the contact chambers and thus to make the parallel or series configurations of the contactors.

Abstract: Economizing contact includes a fixed part, a part movable along a main direction, between a contact position and a break position, and an elastic blade attached to the fixed part forms an electric contact, as well as a stop mounted on the movable part and arranged for being away from the blade and coming to bear on the blade when the movable part is in contact position. The fixed part defines an orifice for passage of the stop facing the blade, where the orifice has an inner section substantially identical to an outer section of the stop, where the stop is movably mounted in translation in a plane on the movable part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a double-disconnect double-pole bidirectional contactor configured to be mounted on two parallel busbars, comprising, for each pole, an interrupter chamber, in which the following are disposed: a moving bridge having first and second moving contacts; a first fixed contact and a second fixed contact; a pair of magnets, able to generate a magnetic field with a constant direction, so as to generate a magnetic force for moving an arc appearing between the fixed contacts and the moving contacts of the moving bridge passing from a closed state to an open state; four blocks of fins; four arc guides. The two interrupter chambers are configured to simultaneously extinguish arcs having a first current direction for one pole, and arcs having a second current direction for the other pole, the first and second current directions being opposed.

Abstract: A contactor includes a bridge which is movable between a closed state and an open state, including movable contacts; two fixed contacts facing the movable contacts, wherein in the closed state the movable contacts are in contact with the fixed contacts and in the open state the movable contacts are spaced apart from the fixed contacts; two magnets generating a magnetic field and generating a magnetic force in order to move an arc appearing between the fixed contacts and the movable contacts passing from a closed state to an open state; two fin blocks; and two pairs of arc guides, each being directed from the movable contacts to each of the two fin blocks, wherein at least fin slots forming a groove of the fin blocks face each guide of a pair of arc guides.
