[0002] Dual power transfer switches are mainly used in emergency power supply systems. When the normal power suddenly fails or there is a power outage, the dual power transfer switch will automatically switch to the backup power supply to ensure that the equipment can still operate normally.

[0003] When the switch contacts of the existing dual power conversion switch are subjected to large current (such as 3900A) connection and disconnection tests, the generated arc energy is large, which will not only burn the contacts and cause electrical wear of the contacts, shortening the service life of the product, but also easily damage the plastic shell or the wires. Utility Model Content

[0006] Both sides of the bottom of the arc blocking portion are provided with limit blocks extending downwards, and the limit blocks are used to abut against the side surfaces of the static contact.

[0007] The stationary contact is formed with a threaded hole, and the fastener is a screw connected to the threaded hole.

[0016] 3. The contact structure of the dual power conversion switch provided by the utility model has a static contact formed with a threaded hole, the fastener is a screw connected to the threaded hole, and the arc-blocking plate is fixed to the static contact by the screw, which has the advantage of quick and convenient installation.

[0033] The contact support 1 is slidably mounted in the middle of the housing 2. The middle of the moving contact 3 is fixed on the contact support 1, and both ends thereof extend out of the contact support 1. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a limiting groove 15 is formed in the middle of the moving contact 3 , and a limiting rib 16 matching with the limiting groove 15 is formed on the contact support 1 .

The mounting portion 11 is fixed to the shell 2 by screws, and the connecting portion 12 has at least one arc isolation groove 14 arranged adjacent to the contact knife portion 13. It should be noted that, similar to the method of dividing a large arc into multiple small arcs by a plurality of arc extinguishing grids arranged at intervals, one or more arc isolation grooves can play a role in dividing the arc to a certain extent, thereby facilitating the extinguishing of the arc and reducing the arc burning time.

[0035] Arc stopper 5, such as Figure 3 As shown, it includes a fixing portion 6 that is fitted with the static contact 4, and an arc-blocking portion 7 that is vertically arranged with the fixing portion 6.
