Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a remote control circuit breaker, the moving contact assembly of which is kept on or off by means of a bistable electromagnetic device according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • this type of circuit breaker as known from patent US-A-3,211,955 uses a rocking mechanism which ensures the maintenance of a lever and of a movable contact equipment in the on or off position, so that the force required to operate the lever is maximum at the center of the stroke of the lever due to the spring force of the rocking mechanism. Therefore, in the case where such a circuit breaker is controlled by means of a remote control electromagnet assembly, as the attraction thereof is inversely proportional to the square of the width of the main iron , the maximum force needs to be applied to the center of the stroke of the joystick, requiring an increase in the power of the electromagnet assembly. Thus, the circuit breaker leaves something to be desired in that the electromagnet assembly is large in size or that the excitation current of the windings is increased.
  • circuit breakers contain two electromagnets to ensure the switching on or off of the circuit breaker, which makes them unsatisfactory in that they are inevitably large.
  • one of the aims of the invention is to provide a remote control circuit breaker which makes it possible to reduce the force applied to the remote control electromagnet assembly and to globally miniaturize the circuit breaker.
  • the circuit breaker of the present invention is characterized in that the electromagnet is a polarized bistable electromagnet, in that by pivoting in the operating position, the lever biases a return compression spring whose return force is less than the holding force of the electromagnet in the non-excited state, in that the stop pawl is pivotally mounted on a fixed axis in the casing and is articulated by its end remote from the pawl tripping, to the movable contact assembly which is articulated on its side to the actuating element, the stop pawl attacking the movable contact equipment between its end carrying the movable contact and its articulated end at the actuating element and being biased by a spring in the direction of opening of the moving contact assembly.
  • the electromagnet assembly of the bistable polarized type is provided so that the attraction of its permanent magnet is adjusted to allow the joystick to '' be maintained in its engaged or disengaged position against the action of the elastic force of the contact pressure application spring and the return spring. Therefore, it suffices that the attraction of the magnet of the electromagnet, for the operations of engagement and disengagement, to overcome its own attraction of locking. It follows that the operation of the lever is carried out manually by light pressure and that the electromagnet is subjected to a lesser load than the conventional electromagnet, which makes it possible to give it small dimensions and save energy. In addition, the use of a single electromagnet is sufficient, which allows the circuit breaker to be of greatly reduced external dimensions.

  • a short-circuit current flows through the circuit, the plunger 96 of the electromagnet assembly 44 is attracted to the fixed iron core 68, so that the movable rod 71 comes out by pushing the lower end of the trigger link element 109 and by pivoting the trigger link element 109, which releases the locking connecting element 64 to give rise to the separation of the movable contact assembly 48 from the fixed contact 46.
  • the display link 139a pivots in concert with the locking connecting element 64, and the triggering display sector 139c covers the walking display sector 111b to operate the trigger display.
  • the remote control circuit breaker according to the invention is arranged so that the trigger connecting element 109 and the locking connecting element 64 are provided with return springs and locked respectively and that the maintenance in the on and off position of the movable contact assembly supported by the locking connecting element 64 depends on the polarized electromagnet assembly of the bistable type, which is advantageous in that the electromagnet can be reduced in size and an energy consumption saving is achieved compared to the conventional circuit breaker, and also that the implementation of a single electromagnet can significantly miniaturize the circuit breaker.
