Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrical circuit breaker according to the preamble of claim 1.
- circuit breakers have become known, all of which have the same structure. They have a contact point which is formed from a fixed and a movable contact piece; the fixed contact piece is followed on one side by the power supply and on the other side by an arc guide rail which drives the arc into an arc quenching plate package.
- the current feed point is located in front of the contact point, in relation to the arc guide rail adjoining it and also to the direction of arc travel. Due to the assignment of the current feed rail to the contact piece and the arc guide rail to the movable contact lever on which the a movable contact piece is attached, a U-shaped blow loop is formed which tries to expand the arc and drives it into the arc quenching chamber.
- the object of the invention is to provide an arrangement which allows optimum discharge of the arc from the contact point into the arc-quenching plate with less space.
- This arrangement is to be used in a particularly advantageous manner when the current feed point must be arranged in the immediate vicinity of the arc guide rail, in particular because of a lack of space, for example with pluggable circuit breakers. Then, due to the limited space, there is no possibility of arranging the fixed contact between the power feed point and the arc guide rail. Rather, the current feed point must be arranged between the fixed contact piece and the arc guide rail. Due to the configuration according to the invention, a U-shaped blow loop for the arc is nevertheless generated, which quickly drives the arc into the arc-quenching plate package. Due to the special design of the fixed contact piece, it is additionally achieved that the resistance of the fixed contact piece is switched out of the current path after the arc has arisen.
- the sole figure shows an enlarged illustration of a circuit breaker in the contact point area with a movable contact lever and arc guide rail.
- the electrical switch in which the arrangement according to the invention is to be used, is a commercially available circuit breaker with an electromagnetic release (not shown in more detail), a thermal release, a switch lock and an arc-quenching plate packet, all of which in a commercially available manner together with the arrangement shown in the figure Shell-type housings can be used.
- the circuit breaker in which the invention is to be applied, is not provided with screw terminals, but with plug pins 10 which are formed on a bracket 11.
- This bracket 11 has in its bottom region 12 a recess 13 through which a screw 14 is inserted, with which the bracket 11 is fastened to an arc guide rail 15.
- the arc guide rail 15 is again commercially available and has an essentially L-shaped shape with a leg 16 which opens into the area of an arc quenching plate packet 17 (which is only indicated in the drawing); the other leg 18 the arc - Guardrail has a passage 19 into which the screw 14 is screwed.
- the leg 18 runs perpendicular to the leg 16 with the interposition of an area 20 which extends obliquely at an angle of approximately 45 ° to both legs.
- a leg end of a U-shaped horn 21 is arranged between the web or bottom region 12 of the bracket 11 and the leg 18 of the arc guide rail 15.
- This horn 21 has a first leg 22 with a bore 23 into which the passage 19 of the arc guide rail 15 partially engages and with which the horn 21 is guided in relation to the leg 18 of the arc guide rail 15 in cooperation with the passage 19.
- a connecting web 24 adjoins the leg 22 and is angled at an acute angle ⁇ (approximately 70 °) to the leg 22.
- the distance of the end of the region 26 connected to the connecting web 24 from the first leg 22 is greater than the parallel region 27; although the two legs 22 and 25 are of different lengths, their ends 28 and 29 open in one and the same plane, which is perpendicular to the leg 22.
- a movable contact piece 30 (shown in dashed lines) is applied, which is molded onto a movable contact lever 31. In this way, when the switch is closed, a current flows via the feed point - bracket 11 - screw 14 - leg 18 to the horn 21 with the first leg 22 as far as the movable contact piece 30.
- a U-shaped blow loop is formed which drives the arc in a manner known per se in the direction of arrow P, so that the arc 32, 32 'on the movable contact piece 30 migrates on one side and on the second leg 25 from its area 26 to area 27 and after skipping from area 27 to area 20 of the arc guide rail 15 on the other side until it has entered the arc-quenching plate packet 17 and is extinguished there. .
- the current is switched out of the horn 21, so that it is no longer the current I but a current T 1 that bypasses the horn.
- the configuration according to the invention on the one hand facilitates assembly and, moreover, also facilitates the attachment of the fixed contact piece;
- the arc run is improved by the shape according to the invention. It is particularly advantageous that the current feed point can be provided independently of the contact point 30/26, without the arcing being prevented by appropriate current paths.
- the connection of the fixed contact piece to the arc guide rail is a non-positive connection, not a welded connection, which also has advantages.
