PARTICLE EXTRACTION SYSTEM FOR AN INTERRUPTER

A particle extraction system for an electrical interrupter is disclosed in the present application. The particle extraction system includes a support bay configured to hold an electrical interrupter in position during a particle extraction event. An actuator system is operable for cycling the interrupter to dislodge and release foreign particles internal to the interrupter. A fluid source and pumping system is in fluid communication with at least one internal flowpath within the interrupter to entrain and transport the released particle from the interrupter. A vacuum slot is operable for receiving a fluid flow with entrained particles and transporting the particles to a particle capture device. 在本申请中公开了种用于电气灭弧器的颗粒提取系统。颗粒提取系统包括支撑底板，该支撑底板被配置成在颗粒提取事件期间将电气灭弧器保持就位。致动器系统可操作以用于使灭弧器循环轮转以逐出并释放在灭弧器内部的异物颗粒。流体源和泵送系统与灭弧器内的至少个内部流动路径流体连通以夹带并输送从灭弧器释放的颗粒。真空槽可操作以用于接收具有被夹带的颗粒的流体流动并将颗粒输送至颗粒捕获设备。
