Force-distance controlled mechanical switch

A switch comprises a first elastic element, an actuator-element mechanically coupled to a first side of the first elastic element, and a first switching conductor, mechanically coupled to a second side of the first elastic element. The switching conductor is configured for moving between a first conductor position and a second conductor position. The actuator-element is configured from moving between a first actuator-element position and a second actuator-element position separated by a predefined actuator-element lift, thereby moving the first side of the first elastic element. The first elastic element moreover is configured for converting a movement of the first side of the first elastic element by the predefined actuator-element lift into the movement of the second side of the first elastic element with a predefined elastic force.

Electronic module for protecting a HVDC converter from current surges of energy discharges from a capacitor of the converter
10109444 · 2018-10-23 · ·

An electronic module for protecting power semiconductor devices of an HVDC converter against high current surges and damaging electrical discharges includes a capacitor, a short circuit device, a movable portion, a short circuit portion and a spring element. The short circuit device is connected in parallel with the capacitor and has first and second busbars. The movable portion is connected to the first busbar and the short circuit portion is connected to the second busbar. The spring element is arranged between the movable portion and the short circuit portion. When a short circuit current flows through the first busbar, an electromagnetic force between the busbars causes the first busbar to repel the second busbar and move towards the short circuit portion. The latter provides a short circuit path connecting the first busbar to the second busbar short circuiting the capacitor and bypassing the power semiconductor devices of the HVDC converter.
