US 2023/0368987 A1 · DC DISCONNECTOR

Abstract

A DC disconnector comprising a static electrical contact, at least one moveable electrical contact comprising a plurality of conductor blades, and a shaft, coupled to the movable electrical contact. The shaft is configured to actuate the moveable electrical contact between a first configuration and a second configuration, wherein at least a portion of each conductor blade abuts the static electrical contact in the first configuration, and wherein the plurality of conductor blades are displaced from the static electrical contact in the second configuration. The Disconnector further comprises at least one of a plurality of features, including (i) wherein the static electrical contact comprises plurality of contact elements; (ii) wherein the shaft is coupled to the moveable electrical contact by an eccentric component; (iii) wherein the moveable electrical contact comprises a plurality of spacers arranged in between the conductor blades; (iv) wherein the position of the shaft axis is adjustable; and (v) wherein the conductor blades are configured to be removable from the Disconnector.
