Patent number: 9653243Abstract: A mechanical circuit breaker unit for interrupting a line includes a contact arrangement and an electromagnetic drive. The contact arrangement has first and second fixed contacts and a guided moving contact. The electromagnetic drive moves the moving contact. The separating unit can assume a first state and a second state. No electric connection exists between the first and second fixed contacts in the first state. The moving contact electrically connects the two fixed contacts to each other in the second state. The separating unit can be transferred from the second state into the first state by moving the moving contact. The second fixed contact has a recess for receiving the moving contact, and the moving contact engages at least partly into the recess when the separating unit is in the first state.Type: GrantFiled: October 25, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: Siemens AktiengesellschaftInventors: Georg Bachmaier, Andreas Goedecke, Denis Imamovic, Sylvio Kosse

Patent number: 9240680Abstract: A switch for a high-voltage direct current transmission path includes a vacuum circuit breaker for disconnecting the transmission path and a gas-insulated circuit breaker for disconnecting the transmission path. The gas-insulated circuit breaker is connected in series with the vacuum circuit breaker. A device is provided for building up a counter-current against the current in the transmission path for the purpose of reducing the current across the vacuum circuit breaker. The elements of the switch are actuated by a control device in such a way that the switch is switched off at or close to the zero crossing of the current.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 2012Date of Patent: January 19, 2016Assignee: SIEMENS AKTIENGESELLSCHAFTInventors: Werner Hartmann, Lutz-Ruediger Jaenicke, Sylvio Kosse, Reinhard Maier, Anthoula Panagou, Norbert Trapp
