  • High voltage disconnector with fixed and locking members secure under Lorentz forces
    Patent number: 6271493
    Abstract: A high voltage disconnector comprising a fixed contact and a movable contact to the latter to produce an electrical connection between a first conductor and a second conductor, the movable contact and the fixed contact forming, when they are in contact with one another, a connector that is at an angle with respect to the first and/or second conductor, such that when the contacts are in contact with one another during operation a Lorentz force prevails which pulls the fixed and movable contacts apart and is transverse to the first or second conductor. The movable contact and the fixed contact are provided with locking devices which, when the contacts are in contact with one another, engage in one another and act in a direction parallel to the Lorentz force which is pulling the fixed and movable contacts apart and is transverse to the first or second contact.
