As Fig. 4, shown in Figure 7, separator 21 forms four limit tubular or columns of lengthwise by synthetic resin, is arranged on the rear side of load side clamped nipple 11, can slide towards the direction parallel with the front surface of body casing 4.Front surface and load side clamped nipple 11 at separator 21 relatively form three peristomes 22 at above-below direction, are provided with the moving contact 23a that opens and closes contact 56 (with reference to Figure 11) in the inboard of peristome 22.Be configured at separator 21 under the state (with reference to Fig. 4) of initial position (decline end position) of downside, the fixed contact 11a of load side clamped nipple 11 enters into the inboard of separator 21 by peristome 22,23a contacts with moving contact, to open and close contact 56 and close, and make main circuit 55 be in "on" position.On the other hand, when separator 21 slides upward when detecting electric leakage etc. (with reference to Fig. 7), moving contact 23a is moved upward along with separator 21, unclamps to open and close contact 56, makes main circuit 56 become off-state.When main circuit 55 is returned to "on" position, operating grip 5 is pulled down, make separator 21 reset into initial position.
As Fig. 3, shown in Figure 6,, be provided with the open-close mechanism section 31 that makes separator 21 and operating grip 5 interlocks in the upper end of separator 21.Open-close mechanism section 31 is positioned at the left side (left casing 4a side) of Test Switchboard 51 above the load side clamped nipple 11 of epimere.At the right flank of open-close mechanism section 31, projection 52 forms near the 51a of switching portion from downside and Test Switchboard 51 and fastens.Under the state (state shown in Fig. 8 b) that the switch portion 58 of test circuit 57 is being closed, when separator 21 cuts off main circuit 55, rising (with reference to Fig. 6) along with separator 21, projection 52 upwards pushes away the upper portion of Test Switchboard 51 forcibly, make the 51a of switching portion separately, thereby test circuit 57 is cut off from contact rod 19.And under this state, projection 52 can not move the 51a of switching portion downwards, forbids the making operation of Test Switchboard 51.
As Fig. 9, shown in Figure 10, formed three installing holes 24 at above-below direction communicatively in the rear surface of separator 21 and the peristome 22 of front surface side, fixing moving contact 23a on the movable connection 23 in being installed in each installing hole 24.Between peristome 22 and installing hole 24, form opposed a pair of groove 25 mutually at the internal face of separator 21, the fore-and-aft direction of groove 25 roughly position intermediate be provided with the stage portion 26 of the high crank shape of rear side (installing hole 24 sides).On the other hand, movable connection 23 adopt rear portions upward or crooked downwards side be the plate-shaped member of L word shape, it is wideer than installing hole 24 that its bend forms width, works as the block of the movable connection under the installment state 23.Moving contact 23a is located at the leading section of movable connection 23, in the left and right sides of moving contact 23, has formed the protuberance 27 that is locked in stage portion 26 by the groove 25 of separator 21.
As Fig. 4, shown in Figure 7, when being installed in movable connection 23 on the separator 21, the installed inside of separator 21 to moving contact 23a energize downwards by pressing spring 28.So, can utilize the power of energizing by pressing spring 28, by on fixed contact 11a, make both contact conditions stable moving contact 23a, and keep the lock-out state of protuberance 27 and stage portion 26 securely by this contact force.In addition, form tab 30, between the spring support 29 of tab 30 and decoupler casing 4, insert the disconnection spring 32 that separator 21 is energized upward is installed in the rear surface of separator 21.
On the open-close mechanism section 31 of separator 21 upper ends, be provided with first cam part 33 and second cam part 34.First cam part 33 links with manner of execution with breaking coil 8 (with reference to Fig. 2, Fig. 5) by movable member 35, and second cam part 34 links with manner of execution by chain rod unit 36 and with operating grip 5.Between first cam part 33 and second cam part 34, insertion is installed with the two torsionspring of energizing to the direction of mutual interlock (omitting diagram).
The following describes the operation of circuit breaker 1.In the circuit breaker 1 of present embodiment, decoupler casing 4 is housed in the distribution board, bonding conductor post on power supply side terminal 2, connected load distribution on load side terminal 3.When main circuit 55 is in "on" position, as shown in Figure 4, by the upper surface at separator 21, resist disconnection the energizing power of spring 32 and be maintained at initial position by separator 21 with chain rod unit 36 for second cam part 34 of open-close mechanism section 31, and moving contact 23a contacts with fixed contact 11a.
On the other hand, when the electric-leakage detection circuit on the printed base plate 20 59 detected the electric leakage of main circuit 55, breaking coil 8 actions upwards pushed away movable member 35.Then, movable member 35 rotates first cam part, 33, the first cam parts 33 makes second cam part 34 obtain liberation, and second cam part 34 makes chain rod unit 36 obtain freedom.Thereby as shown in Figure 7, separator 21 rises because of the power of energizing that disconnects spring 32, and moving contact 32a separates from fixed contact 11a, and main circuit 55 is disconnected.When separator 21 arrives the rising end position, second cam part, 34 separated device 21 backward rotation, under the power of the energizing effect of torsionspring, first cam part 33 is by 34 lockings of second cam part.
Under the state of main circuit 55 energisings, when whether test circuit decoupler 1 normally carries out opening operation, shown in Fig. 8 (b), press testing button 6, the 51a of switching portion that makes Test Switchboard 51 contacts with contact rod 19, makes doubtful leakage current flow through test circuit 57 on the printed base plate 20.When electric-leakage detection circuit 59 detects doubtful leakage current, when breaking coil 8 normally carried out opening operation, separator 21 rose, and main circuit 55 is disconnected, and operating grip 5 erects.At this moment, along with the rising of separator 21, projection 52 is separated the switch portion 58 of unclamping test circuit 57 with the 51a of switching portion of Test Switchboard 51 from contact rod 19.Under this state, projection 52 remains on the position of having left contact rod 19 with the 51a of switching portion, forbids the making operation of Test Switchboard 51.
Thereby, even after having cut off main circuit 55, when having pressed testing button 6 unguardedly, also doubtful leakage current can be flowed into the test circuit 57 this states of affairs and prevent trouble before it happens.Behind EOT, as shown in Figure 3, operating grip 5 is pulled down to the position parallel with the upper surface of body casing 4, separator 21 is descended, make main circuit 55 return to "on" position.At this moment, the projection 52 of separator 21 moves to the downside of the 51a of switching portion, removes the constraint of Test Switchboard 51.
According to the circuit breaker 1 of present embodiment, because there are the 52 pairs of Test Switchboards of projection 51 on the separator 21 to carry out force disconnect, so do not need on printed base plate 20, limit switch to be set as in the past.Therefore, the space of printed base plate 20 peripheries be can dwindle, 4 miniaturizations of decoupler casing, slimming made.Formed projection 52 particularly because of the side that the open-close mechanism section 31 of separator 21 upper ends is configured in Test Switchboard 51, and in the side of open-close mechanism section 31, so can effectively utilize the upper space of decoupler casing 4.
In addition, because Test Switchboard 51 is to form horizontal U word shape with elongated bar-shaped elastomeric element, so can make the testing button 6 and contact rod 19 interlocks of the front and back that are positioned at separator 21 with the mechanism of compactness.Because testing button 6 is pushed the pars intermedia of Test Switchboard 51, thus can come the mobile significantly switching 51a of portion with very little operational ton, thus can make Test Switchboard 51 operation exactly in limited space.
And, because printed base plate 20 with about casing 4a, 4b dispose abreast, and be arranged in same column, so decoupler casing 4 is thinned to for example about 10mm with power supply side terminal 2 and load side terminal 3.And, because fixed contact 11a and moving contact 23a are housed in the inside of separator 21,, portion of a plurality of mechanism product are accumulated the mode of compactness so can effectively utilize space in the decoupler casing 4.Particularly because moving contact 23a and separator 21 are mobile integratedly, so also have the advantage that can prevent the malfunction that causes because of contact welding etc. conscientiously.
