Abstract

The present invention discloses an opposite arc isolation device of a high voltage direct current relay, including a movable contact assembly and a fixed contact assembly, wherein the movable contact assembly includes a movable spring plate and a left movable contact and a right movable contact fixed at left and right ends of the movable spring plate; the fixed contact assembly includes a left fixed contact corresponding to the left movable contact and a right fixed contact corresponding to the right movable contact; an arc isolation member made of insulating material is provided between the left movable contact and the right fixed contact; the front-to-rear dimension L of the arc isolation member is greater than the front-to-rear width M of a joint surface of the movable contacts with the fixed contacts; and, the arc isolation member has a height H that enables the isolation of opposite arcs between the two sets of movable and fixed contacts.

Claims
