Definitions
- This invention relates to an automatic magneto-thermal protection switch according to the preamble of claim 1 and known from document DE-B-2 132 738.
- the switch When conformant with this standard, the switch will be able to adequately protect resistive loads as are usually to occur in generic domestic and civil systems.
- a current demand is also that of providing modular switches of still smaller size and bulk so that an increased number of them can be accommodated within a station panel. This demand is more acutely felt where the protection for existing systems is to be enhanced and the space available for the station panel is limited.
- the technical problem that underlies this invention is to provide an automatic magneto-thermal protection switch which has such structural and functional characteristics as to permit of the use of uniquely small-size de-ionization chambers, so that the switch can comfortably fit inside a single standard module, and still retain a high breaking capacity, while overcoming the drawbacks with which the prior art is beset.
- the solutive idea on which this invention stands is that of increasing the opening and separation speed of the moving contact relatively to the fixed contact, upon automatic operation of the switch, thereby the size of the de-ionization cells can be reduced.
- an automatic magneto-thermal protection switch or breaker according to the invention.
- the switch 1 comprises a box-type case 2 of parallelepipedic shape, known per se, which measures 17.5 mm in width.
- the case 2 is formed of two superimposed half-shells 4 and 5 having mating shapes.
- the switch 1 also comprises a control key 3, of the bistable kind, which is accessible frontally on the case 2 and journalled on a pin 6 fast with the half-shell 5.
- a break mechanism Connected to the key 3 is a break mechanism, generally denoted by 15, comprising a toggle mechanism 16 for driving a moving contact to rock toward and away from a corresponding fixed contact.
- the switch 1 is of the so-called single-pole type with neutral, and input and output fixed-cage terminals 7 and 8 are provided therefor to enable connection to neutral and phase conductors, respectively.
- phase input terminal 8 To the phase input terminal 8, there is connected one end of an amperometric coil 9 intended for automatic magnetic protection operation and wound around a stationary core 10.
- the coil 9 is carried in a U-shaped cage 11 having sheet-like walls and, pivoted to its top, a small moving armature 12 bent at right angles to define a first leg extending over the core 10 and a second leg 12a having an end arranged to interfere with and act upon, with the interposition of a small lever 46, the breaking mechanism 15.
- the end of the first leg of the armature 12 has a breaker arm-like lug 35 serving a function to be explained.
- the armature 12 is apt to be pulled toward the core 10 by the electromagnetic force induced by a fault or short current such that the end active on the mechanism 15 can automatically trip off the switch 1 on the occurrence of a fault situation.
- Respectively associated with the neutral input terminal 7 and the phase output terminal 8 are fixed contacts 14 and 18, toward and away from which, corresponding moving contacts 17 and 19 are guided movably by the mechanism 15.
- a moving contact holder assembly 20 is provided for the purpose which comprises a drum 21 journalled on a pin 22 fast with the half-shell 5.
- the drum 21 is connected peripherally to one end of the toggle mechanism 16 and displaceable angularly against the bias force of a spring means 24.
- each contact, 17 or 19 comprises an annular sheet-like portion 25 fitting around the pin 22 in a mating seat 26 formed in the drum 21 and being held therein against the bias of a spring 27.
- an arm 28 Formed integrally with the portion 25 is an arm 28 carrying the moving contact and jutting out toward the corresponding fixed contact opposite to a de-ionization chamber 30 and respective cell 29.
- the cells 29 are provided on opposed sides of the switch 1 near the fixed contacts 14 and 18; they are arranged substantially along a slightly inclined direction to the major axis of the switch.
- Each cell 29 consists of a set of laminations 36 thickly arranged parallel and attached to one another by small opposed cross-bars 37. These laminations 36 have a V-shaped cutout 38 formed in their side facing the moving contact, whereby a corresponding V-like notch is defined which provides an invitation for the electric arc to be suppressed.
- the spring 27 controls the contact force between the corresponding fixed and moving contacts, while taking up any backlash generated by the contact wear.
- the respective arms 28 of the contacts 17 and 19 extend substantially from opposed ends of the drum 21, and are aligned along the same direction but opposite verses. They are displaceable angularly together with the drum 21 in the same direction of rotation.
- a cord lead 43 connects the portion 25 of the moving contact 17 to the output terminal 7, and a similar cord lead 44 connects the portion 25 of the other moving contact 19 to the end of a bimetallic plate 45.
- This plate 45 has the opposite end connected to the other end of the coil 9, being thus connected in series between that coil and the moving contact 19 to provide thermal protection for the switch 1.
- a small, three-arm lever 46 is journalled for the purpose on a pin 48 rigid with the half-shell 5 and displaceable angularly against the bias force of a spring 47. That lever 46 has a first arm acting as feeler on the bimetallic plate 45, a second arm inserted in the path of travel of the section 12a of the armature 12, and a third arm connected detachably to the breaking mechanism 15.
- a rocking striker 32 is also provided which is journalled on the pin 22 above the drum 21 and has opposite ends 31 and 33 respectively located close against each arm 28, thereby the rocking striker 32 will form with the arms 28 a cross-over X-shaped configuration.
- the rocking striker 32 has its end 33 inserted in the path of travel of the breaker arm-like lug 35 on said armature 12 and the opposite end 31 active on the arm 28 of the moving contact 19 in abutment relationship.
- That same end 33 of the rocking striker 32 is active, on account of the thrust force applied to it by the lug 35 on operation of the coil 9, on the arm 28 of the moving contact 17.
- the switch 1 is also provided with an indicator device 40 indicating the operational state of the switch.
- This device comprises a rod 39 pivoted between the drum 20 and the toggle mechanism 16 and extending to the key 3.
- a small indicator plate 42 in two colors which can be viewed through a window 41 provided in the case 2 front above the key 3.
- the striking effect adds to the elastic pull from the spring 24, with the result that the speed of relative movement of the fixed and moving contacts away from each other can be higher than that afforded by switches made in accordance with the prior art.
